The colours are great. The urban feel makes this a standout picture for me. Just teach the local graffiti artists to be a bit more creative.

I know you think it is simple, but the DOF is good, almost 3D. I need to check where you are, leaves just coming out suggests southern hemisphere! Good job with this one.

I like this one :) Is she working magic on the building, her hands are casting a repair it quick spell. This is true candid and I bet you had run off before she realised you had just taken her photo.

If you can't sell it, at least you can sit on it.

So, how are the chairs? You want to buy them or just sit there all day!

Lovely candid shot that tells a story. Is it obligartory for all people in a shot to wear glasses? :)

Good shot! I like the reflections and the leaves on the water. Just how is that ball floating?:) Amazing how things we take for granted take on a new context once we are challenged!

Thanks for all the great comments! This was shot in my garden using my wife's Canon A630. I did very little editing to it and the photo is a capture of the moment, with no trickery.

One of my favourite summer flowers, so vibrant and bold, just like a sunny summers day. Great capture and good DOF.

Well John, it seems we are doomed to become Hippies, so bring on the Flower Power!! This is what I call real Art, digital photos are the poor relative to paint and canvas.

I love the abstract rendition that first hits you, then the detail begins to merge. A fine piece of Art for which you should be justifiably proud. Well Done, no matter how long ago it was painted, Art doesn't age, it improves :)

Boy! That is one big beach, Deb. Where's the sea?? :) That oil drum captures the perfect atmosphere, but it is a bit disappointing to see clouds, that will keep the tourists away.
