Odd isn't even the word for this one :-).
Sometimes you can't help but wonder what people are thinking, indeed if they are thinking anything at all!

That balcony definitely doesn't look "recreational". Perhaps it has something to do with fire regulations, that you need an "assembly point" every so many floors ?

I like this image more than the other one, because you can see his face, which is so striking in color.

How lucky you were to see these birds in the wild. I can't even remember the last time I saw one. They have become very scarce I think. And they are so impressive and fun to watch, because they are always busy.

I wonder if you could get the image a bit "de-noised" and/or get some more sharpness in via "detail" (if you have such an option on your editing program. One of the Topaz plug ins offers this, but I am sure other programs have it as well).

... and I had not realized till now you were a fellow SAn :-)

How clever, well seen. I thought this was an image of some leaves that was painstakingly edited in photoshop to give these lovely colours.

Oh Helsinki ... one of my favorite cities :-). I was there a couple of years ago at the beginning of February, expecting to see something like you show in this image, and we had almost no snow at all :-(. So dissapointing for a tourist like me :-). Hence this image is very nice to see, now I know what I missed :-). Really like it, but then I like abstract type of images. I love that "double" sky-line of the city. The whole thing has a VERY cold feel to it.

Great shot Harvey. The colours of the bird against the green leaves: so pretty.
My one comment is that it looks like you did some "funny" editing on that water lillie bud. It looks different to the rest of the image and, to me, sticks out. If you haven't edited it and that's what it looks like, maybe you should ;-)

03 (Original) - Snow

Like everyone else I think this is beautiful. I had not realised it was snow and still can't quite "see" what it looked like originally. I thought it was fabric with your trusted spoon under the second "fold" giving it its shape :-)

Gorgeous. Sometimes I think it must be nice to live in more temperate climates

As to the score, you couldn't have got much closer to that "7" :-)
