    Yes, very colourful photos of things out of the ordinary.

    Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it. I'm uploading another version, a little less... intoxicated 😃

    Nice processing, you could get a similar effect with a slow shutter speed and movement, but I must say it won't look as good as this.

    Expensive, distinguished... and with a wonderfully decadent touch. Thank you for sharing.

    A nice place, you caught something valuable for street photography: The lady's hand echoes with the painting perfectly.

    Too close, not the best distance to do a panning, but I caught a couple of these...

    A Camera between Them

    Street photos normally tell the story in one image, but I needed two! Maybe the second would work on its own, but I think the pair are better.

    Yes, the composition is balanced and the colours good, but there are two other ingredients, which I enjoy much more.
    Firstly, the banners and signs are for a mass race, but she is alone with a statue, with not another soul in sight, and despite the call to physical activity, neither the statue nor the woman is thinking of running.
    Secondly, the event is to raise money for Cancer Reasearch and she is enjoying a cigarette! That is a delicious juxtaposition.

    Romeo e Giulietta!
    By the way, Romeo is... really "interested" 😂
    Good catch.

    😁
    Well, it took me a while to understand, but I'm sometimes a bit dense. I suppose you would have had a good laugh when you saw the images on your computer...

    The original version captures the vitality very well, but the swirl version brings this out even further and adds a dizziness, which is very appropriate. It is a good example of very invasive processing being used as a valuable tool and not just as a gimmick.

    Havanna Blues indeed, and they act as a great link between the elements in the photo. The blue car is an eye magnet and immediately triggers thoughts of Cuba and the blue wall leads to the old ornate and open architecture, which also echoes Cuba. On the way we discover one then two men, both dressed in blue, which give the image a bit of life, albeit slow-moving life. I like it.

    Yes, all the time, and finding something worthwhile is how I imagine a prospector feels when a glint of gold shines amongst the gravel in his pan.

    Very nicely panned and a great subject for it too. All that detail would immediately show up a second-rate pan, but as it is, it contrasts nicely with the blurred background.
