"There were rumors of anti-Castro pigeons drinking in bars the night before the assassination. Someone overheard them saying 'Coup, Coup'" - Bill Hicks.

Since I'm working hard to get threaded view going, it would be a shame if suddenly all the people that wanted it go.
But in the ned forums are open spaces, it's not up to the management to dictate what people do or don't do in them (within obvious limits) so you must do wht you think is best.
You'll likely get more traffic on DPReview, that's just a fact.
And there's nothing to stop it being hosted both sites, some photo threads that moved are doing that. One of the things that has evolved is that there is a fair number of people here that don't want to return to DPReview, so we're serving different communities. -
I like that sort of fun, accessible art. Certainly makes the last shot pop.

Fascinating. Not good for me, very allergic to pine / conifer pollen.

Hmm, not sure I personally like the tobacco hues, apart from on #6 and 7.
My choices are 4, 12, 13 and 14. -
Agree on all points. I like being able to edit something after it has received a reply too.

Very good. And one of those shots that can trick the brain into seeing the escalator coming down or coming up. The pictures are what gives the game away.

Love this shot but I'd lose the lead on the left.

First off, I hope you stay here, because I like a few others got banned in the dying hours of DPR, by a particularly vindictive Mod in a bout of score settling. I re-joined as usual with a new name, but I cannot be bothered with always having to be careful with what I write. I believe they have a threaded view in the works here. I also have doubts about the new owners, so I would say it might be best to see how the wind blows for a few months yet. The guys who got this site up and running deserve our support.
Now the serious stuff.
A huge derelict industrial site on the other side of Reggio is slowly being repurposed as a technological hub. The "Reggiana" was once Reggio's biggest employer. They made all sorts of things from railway rolling stock, cranes, and during the war, Italy's answer to the Spitfire. Years of mismanagement, mostly during the years when it was state owned, slowly ran the company into the ground. Much of our manufacturing industry was founded by ex employees of this colossus. The still derelict part of this site is the home to Reggio's drug dealers, another florid industry.
I had a wander around the new repurposing of the old industrial sheds. I am sure the old steel structures will outlive the sandwich panels and plasterboard ticky tacky boxes that look good right now because they are still new. Still I had fun with this different for me, Architectural subject.

Great shot, considering how small the bird is.

Capture #8 and the last one for me. You certainly had a great light.

-
Excellent view. Talk about tunnel vision...
-
Capture #2 for me. Wonderful shot.
-
Staying the course.
-
I like this shot. Leading lines and vanishing point.
I would like more contrast or a color version, something to draw the eye more because the leading lines kinda disappear into the even tones.
The image seems too still. I would love to see some movement.
What do you think? -
