Just abundance of Spring. Excellent.

Like the framing and interesting colours.

This bright green against existing background is really eye catching.

Those 2 hikers with a dog in tow are really miniscule in comparison to gigantic falls.
Great catch.

I really like the colours in this scene. The light is magical.

It's as if the work is being supervised from above.
Very well observed, I like it.

Excellent composition.
The eye wanders from the tree to the tower and back.

The moth, with its more vibrant color, immediately catches the eye.

The couple with the dog illustrates the scale of this landscape.
I find the composition fitting.
A very good photo.

For a photo taken on a bus, it's a good one.
It shows the behavior patterns of boys and girls of this age very well.

I had to look up when I saw this film.
A really long time ago...
Despite the difficult lighting conditions, it's a good photo.

It's clearly a student performance on an amateur stage. The title makes the point. The kids know each other. They are having a ball together on stage giving it everything. It all comes through. The small blurs only add to the energy. Definitely one to keep in the family records.
As is my predictable habit, I might crop in a bit tighter on the performers from the right but I'd keep some of the diagonal stage edge. It's contributing to the story.

Excellent use of ultra wide angle, to make the artwork and dome dominate the image in a way that would have been impossible otherwise. The more mundane story about maintaining the beautiful old structure lies beneath and supports the dome and its star character. The cleaning lady and the scaffolding for repairs take a secondary and quiet role beneath the dome but we are sure it would not survive without them. The whole composition is knit together with the circular motifs of the domes, arches, and walkway tiling. Very pleasing image.

A study in lavender. Nice flower images in lavish displays. The daisies might benefit from some intervention to mitigate the concentration of blackness in the upper left corner.

A lovely simplistic design with the gnarly tree and the polychrome brickwork of the tower. Beautifully composed with a combination of twisted and straight lines leading upward. It seems to have a color cast, but as I've said before I'm not good at diagnosing them, maybe magenta? Unless it is an old film capture or meant to look like one.

Magnificent landscape that overwhelms the viewer, in a good way, with its massive size. The layers of arched rock formations interspersed with waterfalls have a nice symmetry to them. The humans and their dog provide scale. Well caught.

A classic capture. A teen boy showing out for a group of teen girls, no doubt encouraged or dared by his own group of pals. Girls pretending not to notice. And architectural ornaments and local dress and social customs to fill out the story.

Photography from the bus is challenging but rewarding because it lets us grab little bits of culture that we might have been reluctant to walk into and capture. These children are obviously unaffected by your driveby shooting. Had you wandered amongst them they might have been too intimidated to reveal their interesting story.

Performances are meant to be memorialized. You caught this one in a decisive moment.
