Big and small I like them all. The most prominent in the middle is most appealing.

The Light Behind

The Light Behind by Linda Shorey, on Flickr

Walked passed this classic, such great condition.
Owner's daily commuter in Rhodes Greece

Had the opportunity to try some light trails.
Supported on the rail of a ship. IBIS paid off here I think.
What elements could have made this composition better?

So simple, but so effective. Tiny beam of light illuminating green Flora with smidgen of red stems. Excellent.

I like your blueberry shot. Suggestive and good subject separation.

Like that classic example of locomotion in the first. As to night shot - we all have our own vision of an image and to me it's fine as is. Others may add something or not ...

I think this pretty creative.
Is it a Composite or just exposed for the statue?
Did you intend for the sun to represent something here?

Is this an aquarium or through a dive case? Curious what causes the highlight around the stingray.

I like the colors and how the Stingray stands out from the rest. Depth and focus.

Thanks JS :-)
This is straight out of the camera, just a little tone mapping for brightness and contrast. I exposed so that the star didn't overexpose too much then brought up the shadows a bit.
By the way I just noticed that my high F number in this shot has bought out a load of small dust spots. I'll fix those on the original.

I wish I could explain a deeper meaning about what it represents, having a bright star there in that place, but the truth is, I just thought the sun poking through the gap under the statue's arm looked pretty cool ;-)
Could there be a deeper meaning to it ??

It looks cool. I thought maybe the statue had a connect with the sun or something.

Don't worry, I can't see the dust, I'm on my phone for two weeks more and everything is soo small.....

I like this, was it taken in an aquarium or were you diving with the piranhas ? ;-)
The big ray at the front is nicely lit, very sharp and caught in a perfect pose

Cool. An intriguing shot. The very dark background makes those bright green leaves stand out even more, they are positively glowing!

It has been taken in aquarium. Unfortunately I do not swim.

It works...

So realistic, so natural...
