Natural white coral pedestal container decorated with starfish seashells, scented plumeria candles, and natural looking silk floral stems. This is a simple arrangement I made, and just wanted to emphasize the three elements "Man, Earth, and Heaven".
While traveling to the Stokksnes peninsula located in Southern Iceland, we came upon this impressive mountain emphasized by steep slopes and a widest spectrum of natural colors.
Thank for your comments.

I spotted this beauty with a "For Sale" sign in the window on a well kept looking farmstead in Southeast Michigan. I could have cropped more tightly to emphasize the truck for Truck Thursday, but I rather like the look of the entire scene, and I think the truck stands out sufficiently to be the focal point.
HTT!
Happy serene weekend.

Approximately half of the country's population practice traditional religion,[12] which tends to emphasize links between the living and the razana (ancestors). The veneration of ancestors has led to the widespread tradition of tomb building, as well as the highlands practice of the famadihana, whereby a deceased family member's remains may be exhumed to be first carried in a procession with musicians and then rinsed and re-wrapped in fresh silk shrouds, also known as lambas, before being replaced in the tomb.
Almost half the Malagasy are Christian, with practitioners of Protestantism slightly outnumbering adherents to Roman Catholicism, and today, many Christians integrate their religious beliefs with traditional ones related to honoring the ancestors.
Consonance in photography refers to the repetition or similarity of visual elements within a photograph, such as color, shape, texture, or pattern. This repetition creates a sense of harmony and unity within the image, drawing the viewer's eye and creating a cohesive visual experience. Consonance can be used to create a sense of rhythm or movement within an image, and can also be used to emphasize certain elements or themes within a photograph.
Some time ago, when I was on the road in the Swabian Alb looking for photo motifs, I noticed the wind turbines and the atmosphere. Just at the moment I was taking pictures, several of the wind turbines were in sync.
Konsonanz in der Fotografie bezieht sich auf die Harmonie und Übereinstimmung von Elementen innerhalb eines Bildes. Dies kann durch die Verwendung von ähnlichen Farben, Formen oder Texturen erreicht werden, die die Aufmerksamkeit des Betrachters auf das Wesentliche des Bildes lenken und es visuell ansprechend machen. Konsonanz kann auch durch die Verwendung von Regelmäßigkeit und Symmetrie erreicht werden, die eine ruhige und ausgeglichene Atmosphäre schaffen. Als ich vor einiger Zeit auf der schwäbischen Alb unterwegs war um nach Fotomotiven zu suchen, fielen mir die Windräder und die Stimmung auf. Just in dem Moment, als ich fotografierte waren mehrere der Windräder synchron.
I must have looked ridiculous, lying flat on my belly to get the shot. Thankfully, there weren't many people about to have a laugh.
I cropped some repetitive sky and bridge off to emphasize the lines.
This was given the panoramic slice to emphasize the power of the horizontal planes in this photograph. There is a stronger sense of the clouds coming at you in this version than the earlier non-panoramic version.
Kinkaku-ji "Temple of the Golden Pavilion"), officially named Rokuon-ji, lit. "Deer Garden Temple"), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.
The garden complex is an excellent example of Muromachi period garden design. The Muromachi period is considered to be a classical age of Japanese garden design. The correlation between buildings and its settings were greatly emphasized during this period. It was a way to integrate the structure within the landscape in an artistic way. The garden designs were characterized by a reduction in scale, a more central purpose, and a distinct setting.
A minimalistic approach was brought to the garden design, by recreating larger landscapes in a smaller scale around a structure.
It is designated as a National Special Historic Site and a National Special Landscape, and it is one of 17 locations comprising the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto World Heritage Site. It is also one of the most popular buildings in Japan, attracting a large number of visitors annually.
Detail of the virgin Mary statue behind the high altar. A special design feature is the window behind the Madonna's head, the window acts as a halo, an effect emphasized by the golden rays emanating from the window.
St. Maria (St. Mary) is a Wallfahrtskirche (pilgrimage church) located in Thalkirchen, in the south of Munich. The church was built in Gothic style around 1390, replacing a Romanesque predecessor. The steeple still has some late Romanesque features. In 1693-1698 the church was converted to Baroque style, the appearance of the Madonna with the windew behind is a Rococo work by Ignaz Günther dating to 1759-1769.

It's been such a long time since we've had a genuine pea soup fog around here and on Sunday we were blanketed all day. I was finally persuaded to get my camera out of the bag after almost a year and it was the thick fog that did it.
I know many people like cemeteries for different reasons. I like them because they demonstrate an important and inevitable aspect of the life cycle. It's also because reading the inscriptions makes me wonder about what made up the life of the one who has shuffled off this mortal coil.
Graveyards are generally peaceful places and deliberately designed to be so. The fog seemed to emphasize that peace as well as a kind of timelessness, so there, in the quiet, I couldn't help but think while the people buried there may have finished with this life they are certainly busy in their next one--another part of the cycle.
Thus, the great hope: life goes on.

It's been several years since I was able to take advantage of a snow covered city for doing photography. The last few Winters have given us milder temperatures and've been almost completely snowless. This year we've been having a lot so I've made a commitment to get as many Winter shots in as I can as there just aren't that many in my portfolio.
We had a heavy snowfall and when I got up and when I saw that it was still happening, I jumped to it, got dressed quickly and dashed out the door, iPhone at the ready.
It's a wholly different beast shooting with a lot of snow around. The camera reads it as very bright and compensates for the tremendous amount of reflective "bounce" that's saturating the air with light. With muted, cloudy skies this tends to bleach out all the colour from the world and leave only basic earth tones and varying blacks and whites.
So in processing this I decided to keep that almost monochrome feeling but emphasizing how much this red brick house stands out on a muted, grayed-out, snowy day. I eliminated all the other colour except for red and added a hint of "ancient text" texturing for a softer touch.

According to ancient Christian stories, Viola is also the face of Christ, the Son of God. From hidden corners it stares at the faithful, the kneeling peasant, the gatherer and the shepherd. As Mary's plant, it emphasizes her humble existence in the shadow of the God who chose her, a timid little woman who cannot comprehend the salvific work of her motherhood. This especially concerns the March Violet, which, fragrant and adorned in blue, suits Mary as a desirable girl.

Used vignette to try and emphasize the open sky in the middle to make it look more centered to where the person is standing . Cant remember the camera settings on this one .
It is the presence of milky fog that allows me to control the scenography here and emphasize the depth of the scene.
For a separate the foreground and theatrical backdrop as much as possible.
With a closed aperture, which is necessary here, this can be done with only a few tricks.
For example, in cinema we used pyrotechnics - the effect of smoke and spotlights.
in general, I am satisfied with the result of the picture, given that it is from a boat that rocks and floats with the current, and the stream moves along the bridge. A kaleidoscope in one word, changing rhythms every second..
- just have time to compose your composition !
.. but if you look at the bw album?

Copán is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization located in the Copán Department of western Honduras, not far from the border with Guatemala. It was the capital city of a major Classic period kingdom from the 5th to 9th centuries AD. The city was located in the extreme southeast of the Mesoamerican cultural region, on the frontier with the Isthmo-Colombian cultural region, and was almost surrounded by non-Maya peoples. In this fertile valley now lies a city of about 3000, a small airport, and a winding road.
Copán was occupied for more than two thousand years, from the Early Preclassic period right through to the Postclassic. The city developed a distinctive sculptural style within the tradition of the lowland Maya, perhaps to emphasize the Maya ethnicity of the city's rulers.
The city has a historical record that spans the greater part of the Classic period and has been reconstructed in detail by archaeologists and epigraphers. Copán was a powerful city ruling a vast kingdom within the southern Maya area. The city suffered a major political disaster in AD 738 when Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil, one of the greatest kings in Copán's dynastic history, was captured and executed by his former vassal, the king of Quiriguá. This unexpected defeat resulted in a 17-year hiatus at the city, during which time Copán may have been subject to Quiriguá in a reversal of fortunes.
A significant portion of the eastern side of the acropolis has been eroded away by the Copán River, although the river has since been diverted in order to protect the site from further damage.
A more closer look of "Pattern" (see first comment box). The texture reminds me of stone, so I did some processing to emphasize that.
The paper I used is 'glassine', which is great photogenic paper because of its translucency.
A tree I have walked by a thousand times and never saw a motive in it. Before the sun came up, I took the first pictures. This shot was taken in portrait format to emphasize the foreground a bit more.
Because of some comments, I want to emphasize that this is not a wild snake. It is taken in Oslo Reptile Park in 2013.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.
With setting sun and cloud shadows emphasizing the “black” in Black Canyon, a Canadian National potash train rumbles along the Thompson River west of Ashcroft, British Columbia, on the afternoon of September 24, 2015. Five locomotives power the eastbound train that is about to cross the Thompson on a truss bridge and dive directly into a curved tunnel in the heart of this rugged canyon.
An allée is a walkway or path lined with trees of the same species, and is a formal design concept where the view is extended to a emphasize something in the distance, or extended to the horizon.
El Santuario de Montgarri, con una altura de 1640 msnm, se encuentra en un estado de buena conservación, fue construido en 1117 junto al río Noguera Pallaresa. Consta de varios cuerpos que forman una planta cuadrada, y destaca su alto campanario, de torre octagonal con ventanas en el cuerpo superior. Es una construcción que contaba con hostal, iglesia, rectoría y administración, y corral con pajares. Los tejados de pizarra tienen una fuerte inclinación apropiada a las condiciones climáticas.
Mantgarri Sanctuary, mit einer Höhe von 1640 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel, ist in einem guten Erhaltungszustand , wurde im Jahr 1117 neben dem Fluss Noguera Pallaresa gebaut. Es besteht aus mehreren Körpern, die ein Quadrat bilden, und unterstreicht seine hohe Glockenturm, achteckigen Turm mit Fenstern auf den Oberkörper . Es ist ein Gebäude, das Gästehaus hatte, Kirche, Pfarrhaus und Verwaltung und Corral mit Heuhaufen. Schieferdächer haben eine starke Neigung zu entsprechenden Wetterbedingungen .
The Sanctuary of Montgarri, with a height of 1640 msnm, is in a state of good conservation, was constructed in 1117 next to the river Noguera Pallaresa. It consists of several bodies that form a square plant, and it emphasizes its high bell tower, of octagonal tower with windows in the upper body. It is a construction that counted on hostel, church, rectory and administration, and corral with haystacks. Slate roofs have a strong slope appropriate to the weather conditions.
Facade decor of the Rukovishnikovs' museum-estate in Nizhny Novgorod. Russia.
The beginning of work can be roughly dated to 1875. Presumably, all work was completed in 1879 or early 1880. Researchers draw attention to the fact that the building was not erected from scratch, but was, in fact, a reconstruction of an old estate. The conclusion was confirmed by an analysis of the floor plans of the two buildings and research carried out during the restoration process. In the western part, the palace almost completely retains the planning structure of the old house.
The main house, built in the spirit of an Italian palazzo with stylized shapes and baroque details, occupies the eastern corner of the estate. Richly decorated with stucco and sculptural images, the three-story mansion faces the Upper Volzhskaya embankment with its main facade and acts as an accent in its development.
The design drawings of the existing building have not been found in the archives today. Researchers are aware of other projects for rebuilding the old mansion of S. Vezlomtsev. Dated in May 1875, the project envisaged the addition of an additional floor to the house at the mezzanine level. It was no coincidence that the eclectic style was chosen for the future construction, the success of which was explained by the rapid development of capitalism and the aesthetic tastes of large industrialists and merchants of the post-reform period. The merchants sought to "emphasize the dominance of money, their will and influence with loud cumbersomeness." The demand for eclecticism was explained by the desire of the bourgeoisie to assert itself in Russian society, which gave rise to a kind of cult of luxury. All this applied to the Rukavishnikovs.
This little lady landed on a sunflower in my garden. It's a good thing that I always have my camera nearby! I cropped this image a bit to emphasize the butterfly. Isn't she pretty!

In other policy areas we are quick to use the term 'crisis' - euro crisis or refugee crisis - but avoid it when we talk about the fundamental distortions of our planetary system. That says a lot about the political importance of the various policy areas.”

EUROPEAN BRAND - Crotchless bodystocking is made from a sheer black material makes your body slimmer. It gives you the look of stockings and a corset and yet is all in one. It wonderfully emphasizes woman’s body and makes your legs look slimmer. - Exclusively from Europe, this line is one of the most recognized luxury brand and erotic lingerie in Europe. This dynamic brand was created to distinguish a unique character; in fulfilling the imagination and dreams to inspire desire.
I constructed this pair composite from images I took in 2021. I usually don't make a big deal about emphasizing copyright protection and enforcement but this unfortunately needs to be emphasized especially for my composite work.
I picked this crop to emphasize all the salmon swimming past this bear. This was downriver a ways from camp and these bigger boars have the whole system fine tuned to get the most with the least expenditure of effort.
This guy found a spot to stop and let his belly digest the previous 20 salmon he'd probably recently eaten while the salmon you see (the red stripes in the water) get to move on and live another day. Or not.
Interesting how sometimes random choices made by others can affect us in different ways: In little ways, good or bad, sometimes in big ways, good or bad.

The missing exif data here isn't on purpose. I just forgot to reset one of my Lightroom settings while exporting images.

The Ford Thunderbird (colloquially called the T-Bird) is a personal luxury car manufactured and marketed by Ford from model years 1955-2005 (with a 1997-2002 hiatus), across 11 generations. Introduced as a two-seat convertible, the Thunderbird was offered variously as a four-seat hardtop coupe, four-seat convertible, five-seat convertible and hardtop, four-door pillared hardtop sedan, six-passenger hardtop coupe, and five-passenger pillared coupe, with the final generation designed again as a two-seat convertible.
Ford targeted the two-seat Thunderbird as an upscale model, but the 1958 model year design introduced a rear seat and arguably marked the expansion of a market segment eventually known as personal luxury cars, positioned to emphasize comfort and convenience over handling and high-speed performance.

I was holding this vehicle for Teresa, having pointed out its fine condition and options, including the breezy, natural, and environmentally friendly air conditioning, but she seems to have lost interest.
I just want to emphasize the freedom of the buyer to choose her or his own body colour and interior furnishings and finish.

**the first photo is full of morning sunlight, here I tried to suppress the sunlight a bit and emphasize more of the flowers by the house..
The sun rises over Cedar Creek in southwestern Ontario. Urban and agricultural sprawl has taken its toll on the natural environment of our area, so this emphasizes the importance of conservation areas like this.
A telephoto lens can be put to good use even in a slot canyon. Here I wanted to emphasize the texture of the foreground slice of sandstone and throw the background slightly out of focus. The 70-200 mm was well-suited.
"Said when you want to emphasize that both people involved in a difficult situation must accept the blame, or that an activity needs two people who are willing to take part for it to happen."

Veronica umbrosa ‘Georgia Blue’.
Tones are adjusted from the original edition. This image emphasizes the painting-like touch rendered optically by the lens.
The sculpture was constructed by the Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrázabal at an altitude of 1,100 meters above sea level. Its exaggerated size is said to emphasize human vulnerability and helplessness.
The sculpture also was meant to convey emotions related to injustice, loneliness, sadness and torture.
The work has a base of iron and concrete, and stands 11 metres (36 ft) tall. Funded by Corporación Pro Antofagasta, a local booster organization, the sculpture was inaugurated on 28 March 1992.
It has since become a point of interest for tourists traveling Route 5, which forms part of the Pan-American Highway.
I have no idea what this plant is but tucked into the bushes, the reddish leaves caught my attention. In this HSS edit, I've emphasized the shadowy branches I was shooting through and boosted a few sliders in LR to deepen the colors! Hope everyone has a Happy Sliders Sunday!
Sun beams breaking through the fog.
Mobile phone picture. I did emphasize the colours here because it was more a yellowish grey originally with only a hint of magenta.
I had a nice moody and foggy morning two weeks ago. The Albtrauf was covered in clouds and a first little snow helped to emphasize the contours of the trees.
In these hot days that we begin to suffer in Madrid, seeing this photo of these waterfalls on the Navacerrada River now refreshes me and makes me feel more relaxed.
