*** This Week Through Your Eyes 2025.01.18 ***

Lovely to see some of your bird photos. The 'sundial' is a great catch.

I like the double cat start. And I like how in Italy, when one takes a picture of a building, there's often a little landscape lurking in the background as in the penultimate shot.
The last is my fav though, nicely lit.

I thought long and hard how to come up with something different. Wanted to capture the spiritual feel that statue casts over Rio. In the end it was to wait for the right weather and shoot from a distance.

More drama?! I'd have to raise Cecil B. DeMille from the dead. I thought this was already OTT :-)

I will.
But just testing something here...

Ooh! I like this!

No jungle, visiting some friends in Goiania and nearby. Then Rio.

Towers overs the rest of the set.

I use Firefox :-)
But images on Flickr always appear OK to me.
What profile would you suggest? sRGB?

The cloud formation is really nice, with just enough detail in the foreground. I like the last shot too, with all that scruffy detail.

I remember once flying over Canada on my way to Atlanta. I was amazed by the endless white landscape.

So, you finally had some decent snow. The natural sundial is the winner in this set for me.

Lots of life in this shot.

Great shot. I find my pictures always look dull when posted here, this is compared to how they look in C1P on the same calibrated monitor, so I was curious that you're finding a similar issue.

If you're working in AdobeRGB, that is a wider gamut than standard sRGB. I don't know if it's still the case, but it used to be recommended to export images in the sRGB colour space for sharing on the web, this avoids issues with software that ignores the embedded colour profile.

I'm pretty sure the effect that I'm seeing is a perceived darkening caused by the light theme of the website. As a test, I displayed one of the images I posted earlier using the website's viewer with the C1P window pulled up alongside it on the same screen and took a screen grab...

With most of the light surround cut off, the two images look exactly the same to my eyes (in terms of exposure at least), so I'd say any loss of impact is probably perceptual. Even switching to the dark theme doesn't help much, as it's not that dark, the post background colour is still quite light because the text is black and the viewing tool still has quite a bright background surrounding it.

I think a proper dark theme would be helpful (light text on dark backgrounds) as the generally bright background on this site does make a lot of posted images look dark.

Fantastic shot, quite unique!
Yes, lots of drama, ...somehow reminds me of Gandalf summoning up the monster down there in the firery pit below ;-)

Those clouds in the first are amazing! Good shot, you could possibly crop in a bit to make them look even bigger and more imposing.
The lonely tree shot with the lake is a masterpiece. Very well composed with brilliant light.
All those details in the sheep folds make for an ineteresting shot !

I just read that the Celts could have possibly killed their victims at the top of those grooves and let the blood run down. Possibly bringing good fortune to everyone else after a sacrifice or two. I wonder if that worked ;-)
