    Really great - I enjoy the color contrast. It's beautiful architecture and design, but also perfectly captured... a great combination for sure!

    Skyon. For shots like this shift lens could be really beneficial, this is heavily corrected and cropper version of "what could be".

    Love it. Unfortunately the person in photo has no chance to see this beauty...

    These are my favorites. Trees add nice contrast to shot.

    Two different panoramas, facing opposite directions. Both taken with a lens from a scanner... you heard that right, a giant scanner Agfa made many decades ago. It's cost was upwards of 20.000 $ (up to 40.000 $ with certain packages) so they likely didn't have to make many compromises, when it comes to lens quality. It's still surprising that it works more than decently from infinity up to 1:1 and beyond...

    I like the contrast of old and new here. Looks like the skyscrapers are creeping up on the old houses below, who are happily unaware. 😁 Maybe I'm anthropomorphising too much!!

    This is my pick here. Like a giant creme brulee. How are you feeling?

    Steadily getting better, I have my stitches out on Tuesday, so normality is in sight.

    Love the colour palette of the first.

    Wow! 2, 9 and 10 are highlights of a set featuring some stunning beauty.

    I actually prefer the last shot. Are you sure that 'laser' is not some hideous lens flare? 😀

    These two. The subtle light in the first is rather nice.

    Very nice shot. Especially with the reflection too.
    It's good how you can see that the entire area inside the arc is brighter, not just the coloured rim. It reminds you that all the rain drops inside that whole area are reflecting the sunlight back to us. Only at the edge of that area do we get some "chromatic aberration" forming the bow; as each colour in turn reaches the max angle where the rain drops can reflect the light back. Whereas inside the arc all the colours can add back up again to white ;-)

    Interesting structure. I wonder secrets are stashed away in there ?

    The set shows that eerie silence in a foggy forest quite well.
    This one is my fav.
    I tried to see what happened if you brighten the lower part that's closest to you, so that the green and red parts have more contrast and saturation, seemed to add a bit more depth to the image?
