    This one really grabbed me. I guess it's because of all those fairy tales I remember from my childhood. Where is the big bad wolf? Just off stage to the camera's left, I suspect.

    It’s not a matter of memory (god knows that would not work…). I have been keeping (for 15 years now) a dedicated gallery of all my submitted images to the Weekly Wed C&C, to which I add a copy of every week’s new image, with attached the link to the forum thread.

    A nice series showing how these kids are reacting to the antique devices. Certainly having fun!
    Looks like a good hands-on type of museum.
    Not sure most would laugh at everthing, maybe they just had the giggles that day :-)

    At least the light is warm here when everything else is at -20°C :-)
    The image could handle a bit of straightening.

    You've captured the atmosphere well. It certainly looks foggy, and very cold too.

    Well you found some good light here!
    Nice and bright and colourful too, with some good cloud patterns as a bonus

    HaHa! I know that feeling too, and the time in the "marinade" really does help :-)

    I'm glad you came back to this one.
    The panning effect shows the speed with the big "movement blur" in the background.
    It doesn't matter that some parts of the powerful animal are also a bit blurred, in fact it just adds to the feeling of its fluid running movement; his shoulder is moving faster than the rest of the body and its head. Nice that the whiskers are in good focus.

    I just noticed that there is sort of optical illusion effect going on (at least for me).
    It's coming from the pattern of the fur. The still image seems to be moving very slightly, almost like it's breathing
