Personally, after studying both the mono and color - I finally decided on the color. Believe me, a difficult choice but the golden tones and warmer colors persuaded me.
For me, the mono provided an image of textures, light, contrasts and reflections. It has a cooler look and crisper textural detail, and I tend to favor mono when it there is a fit for it.
You can be your own judge!

Personally, I don't believe in luck, but I like the pic rusty old, lichen covered horseshoe.

Personally, I'm more of a cat person than a dog person, but this young pit bull male is just too cute...

Personally I've had a hard winter. Some excellent things have happened too, but I'm happy to move on from the dispute with our landlord and the worst period of insomnia of my life. Both isssues aren't completely resolved but moving in the right direction. On the other hand, I lost 32 pounds. The latest blood tests show my blood sugar and cholesterol have returned to normal from not so good in October 2021. On Monday my doctor called me a "rock star" In the diabetes category. I haven't felt much interest in walking until this week. My sleep and energy are gradually, hopefully improving. The sunshine and slightly above freezing temperatures don't hurt.
My favourite months are March, May, and August - March because of the fast growth of daylight, the inevitable thaw, the mud, no looking back, and all of spring ahead.

Personally I have never been up close and personal with an elephant before . His sharp intelligence took me by surprise. We hand fed him and as he towered far above us I connected with him for a brief moment shocked by the intensity of his intelligent gaze. He was aware of every move we made, evaluated us and patiently waited for us to give him carrots and apples. He is a former circus elephant and his bestie is a zebra with a bad attitude to other zebras.
Personally i prefer the older Twr Bach Beacon to the newer version on the island of Llanddwyn, Anglesey.
The old beacon was built in the 19th Century to help guide shipping boats, most loaded with slate from the many Snowdonia mines, into the Menai Straight. The larger more prominent lighthouse beacon was built in 1864 and had the advantage of illumination. In 1975 the newer lighthouse was superceded by a directional light placed on top of the Twr Bach beacon seen here.
A true case of newer is not always better !
Personally, I like Oporto, it is a relatively small city and which has about 250,000 inhabitants, although his metropolitan area, increases ten times its census.
The city itself is a broken leg, because there are no more than ten meter dash, everything else, are headlands, and constantly go up and down if you want to get an overview of the beauties that hides everywhere.
I have gone many times for work, but this time I did something I had long wanted to do.
Boating on the river and contemplate its beautiful rivera from the center of the Douro (Duero)
I made dozens of photos from a yacht to which I was invited by some friends and while they talked, ate and drank, I had absolute freedom to take pictures piecework.
This is one of the ones I like because I could portray the old part of the city that is slowly disappearing invaded by new and elegant buildings.
I was lucky because in the morning It had been raining cats and dogs and the river walk was in the air. At three o'clock abated and we could embark.
------------------------------------------------
Personalmente me gusta mucho Oporto, es una ciudad relativamente pequeña ya que cuenta con unos 250.000 habitantes, aunque lo podríamos llamar su área metropolitana, multiplica por diez su censo.
La ciudad en sí misma, es un rompe piernas, pues no hay más de diez metros llanos, todo lo demás, son promontorios que hay que subir y bajar constantemente si quieres tener una visión global de las bellezas que esconde por doquier. No es que esté muy cuidada pero últimamente se están esforzando mucho en mantenerla lo más arreglada posible.
He ido muchas veces por cuestiones de trabajo, pero esta vez, hice algo que hacía mucho tiempo que deseaba hacer.
Pasear en barco por el rio y poder contemplar su bella rivera desde el centro del Douro (Duero)
Hice decenas de fotos desde un yate al que fui invitado por unos amigos y mientras ellos conversaban, comían y bebían, yo tuve absoluta libertad para tomar fotos a destajo.
Esta es una de las que más me gustan ya que pude retratar la parte antigua de la ciudad que poco a poco va desapareciendo invadida por edificios nuevos y más elegantes.
Tuve suerte, ya que por la mañana había llovido a cantaros y este paseo fluvial estuvo en el aire a las tres que amainó y pudimos embarcar.
This shot of Rattray Head lighthouse has been commended in the UK Landscape Photographer of the Year, and will feature in LPOTY Collection 9 book, and also in the exhibition at London's Waterloo.
I very nearly didn't submit any images, but last minute decided 'why not' and put 7 in. I personally feel this is one of, if not my strongest image this year, and so to have it commended means a lot.
Happy days! :)
I personally believes images can help fill in the gap for people who are isolated right now from friends and family.
Stay strong and positive.

« Nous accélérons constamment et, nous manquons de prêter attention à toute la grandeur des détails qui nous entourent. Je veux permettre à mon spectateur de dépasser ses limites conscientes. Dans les détails résident les âmes des choses. La beauté du monde est renversante et, contrairement à l’accélération générale (que personnellement j’apprécie), j’examine tranquillement la chose qui m’arrête et me laisse abasourdi.»
"We are constantly accelerating and, we fail to pay attention to all the greatness of the details that surround us. I want to allow my viewer to go beyond his conscious limits. In the details reside the souls of things. The beauty of the world is stunning and, unlike the general acceleration (which I personally appreciate), I calmly examine the thing that stops me and leaves me stunned. "
Personally,i prefer not to edit.I like to get close for detail.I chase the challenge and when it pays off there is no better feeling.It's all in the preparation.
Personally, it reminds me a little of Lyon (on the Rhone, France)
made with stable diffusion,topaz and photoshop.
I personally have never dated a Cinnamon but research tells me it is a girls name. Of course I love it in all types of cooking. If single girls on Flickr have this name my number is ---------.
Personally, I think ET must has fallen off...but l'd have loved to have known where they were going too...Home probably.
Personally, I’m more biased towards the ‘69-70 Chargers, but the ‘71-72 models resonates with me just as much. I remember seeing these when I was little (these were manufactured before my time), and I was always infatuated with the muscle cars of the 60s and 70s, and the stories that owners of these vehicles have to tell are mesmerizing to say the very least. I was also more biased towards Plymouth in my younger days (my first two cars were from Plymouth), but the legacy the Charger has remains indescribable, at least to me. Again, I don’t know why, but these particular Chargers were just as drawn to me as their predecessors.
OK, what is a Winton? Personally, I never heard of them, but they do have an interesting, but somewhat brief history. And one, near identical to the one posted above performed quite an accomplishment that the article below will reveal and describe...so, read on!
The Winton Motor Carriage Company was a pioneer United States automobile manufacturer based in Cleveland, Ohio. Winton was one of the first American companies to sell a motor car. In 1912, Winton became one of the first American manufacturers of diesel engines.
In 1896, Scottish immigrant Alexander Winton, owner of the Winton Bicycle Company, turned from bicycle production to an experimental single-cylinder automobile before starting his car company.
The company was incorporated on March 15, 1897. Its first automobiles were built by hand. Each vehicle had painted sides, padded seats, a leather roof, and gas lamps. B.F. Goodrich made the tires.
In 1903, Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson made the first successful automobile drive across the United States. On a $50 bet (equal to $1,750 today), he purchased a slightly used two-cylinder, 20 hp (15 kW) Winton touring car and hired a mechanic, Sewall K. Crocker (April 7, 1883 – April 22, 1913), to accompany him. Starting in San Francisco, California, ending in Manhattan, New York City, New York. The trip lasted 63 days, 12 hours, and 30 minutes, including breakdowns and delays while waiting for parts to arrive (especially in Cleveland.) The two men often drove miles out of the way to find a passable road, repeatedly hoisted the Winton up and over rocky terrain and mud holes with a block and tackle, or were pulled out of soft sand by horse teams. In 1903, there were only 150 miles of paved road in the entire country, all inside city limits. There were no road signs or maps. They once paid the exorbitant price of $5 for five gallons of gasoline ($178 in 2024 dollars). Jackson and Crocker followed rivers and streams, transcontinental railroad tracks, sheep trails, and dirt back roads. The car is now part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History after Jackson himself donated the vehicle to the museum where it can still be seen on display.
The 1904 Winton was a five-passenger tonneau-equipped tourer which sold for US$2,500.
Winton's flat-mounted water-cooled straight-twin engine, situated amidships of the car, produced 20 hp (15 kW). The channel and angle steel-framed car weighed 2,300 lb (1,000 kg).Winton continued to successfully market automobiles to upscale consumers through the 1910s, but sales began to fall in the early 1920s. This was due to the very conservative nature of the company, both in terms of technical development and styling. Only one sporting model was offered — the Sport Touring, with the majority of Wintons featuring tourer, sedan, limousine and town car styling. The Winton Motor Carriage Company ceased automobile production on February 11, 1924.
The Brass Headlights by Gray & Davis Manufacturing Company.
Gray & Davis, Inc. was a pioneer manufacturer of automobile electrical equipment with over 1000 employees across three manufacturing plants. The company’s main location was on the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but other plants were located in Amesbury, Massachusetts, and Detroit, Michigan. The company was founded in the late 19th century by president William Gray. It closed in 1926 after it was purchased by American Bosch (now the Ambac International Corporation), a company that manufactures diesel fuel injection systems. Gray and Davis auto parts, especially head lamps, have become a collectible on their own.
Personally I love this man made organic composition, it is an architecton with the dominant, it is the urban model abstract worked by nature. What do you think?
Another shot of a water drop, this time with a bit of colour in the background. Personally, I prefer my first attempt!
Personally, I think these buoys are a cool color sharp contrast in the landscape.

Achter het Brugwachtershuisje aan de Wijnhaven zien we een enorme reclame uiting van Chanel, het is er al jaren.
Zelf vind ik het brugwachtershuisje het interessants. Daarom hier wat toelichting hierover:
Midden in de Wijnhaven staat een markant leegstaand brugwachtershuisje dat niet over land te bereiken is. Dit huisje hoorde bij de afgebroken draaispoorbrug uit 1877, onderdeel van het Luchtspoor. Het Luchtspoor was een 2,2 kilometer lang spoorviaduct in de spoorlijn Rotterdam-Breda, dwars door het centrum van Rotterdam.
Behind the Bridge Keeper's House on the Wijnhaven we see a huge advertisement for Chanel, it has been there for years.
I personally find the bridge keeper's house the most interesting. Therefore, here is some explanation
There is a striking vacant bridge keeper's house in the middle of Wijnhaven that cannot be reached by land. This house belonged to the demolished swing railway bridge from 1877, part of the Luchtspoor. The Luchtspoor was a 2.2 kilometer long railway viaduct on the Rotterdam-Breda railway line, straight through the center of Rotterdam.
Those who know me personally will know I have a little van and like to travel around the UK for my photography. I recently spent some time in Brecon and West Wales for just under two weeks. And I really loved spending time focusing on photography again. Just getting through some of the pictures now and so I have lots of wildlife and landscapes stories to come. :)
This Image is from the first night where I walked up Pen Y Fan. I set off at 1am and only reached the peak at 6am as I was too distracted taking pictures of the stars on the way up! But I was just in time for a beautiful sunrise. :) It was seriously an amazing walk in the night and would highly recommend to anyone.
Having some problems with photoshop at the moment and it seems to not work or crash when I'm using it anyone else having problems?
This shot is dedicated to my lovely Turkish friends.
I personally like the view of Galata Tower here - tightly placed in these day's modern, busy, & crowded Istanbul. I also like this picture because of variety of colors here, the clarity, & mood of the shot.
Friends' comments are awaited.
Best regards from Pakistan.
personally, i like blimp...it's fun word
but a serious job, detecting illegal flights into the usa, drug related mostly, from mexico, south america and the caribbean
this one was grounded by strong winds in king of arizona national wildlife refuge and may be grounded permanently by now, due to budget cuts and emerging new detection technology
a couple of links for those
say it again with me...blimp

...I personally think, for various reasons, that the saying 'the camera never lies' is a bit suspect ...
...certainly if you were to take this collage at face value you would have a false impression of our back garden/yard...
...having shot these little flowers here and there, I paired them with spiders' webs to create the collage...
...but the general look of our plot is the same as all the neighbours' gardens - winter brown and gloomy green!
heartfelt thanks, as ever, for all your visits
A year in perspective - 2016 was a big one for me personally and professionally.
It has been a year with many high points – I won the award of Tasmanian Professional Engineer of the Year, which is a huge honour. I also returned to playing underwater hockey again after a long break, and my team won the A-grade pennant series this year. My business has also been very successful this year as well.
But the year was not without its lows, which included the death of my father and the death of an old friend of mine.
Photographically it hasn’t been one of my best years, I simply haven’t had the time to get to take anything amazing this year, mostly because of the pressures of running my business. Much of my photostream this year has been the result of editing images from the past few years, along with occasional business trips where I’ve taken my camera with me.
This image of Silver Falls above and below the water at the foothills of Mt Wellington was taken from a cheap Panasonic underwater camera that I got for Christmas - i've got plans of some underwater photography, as underwater is an environment i've always been at home in. Watch this space I guess.
What has been amazing for me is watching all of my children get into photography in a big way. Christmas saw two of them get new cameras, so I can’t wait to teach them as much as I can and watch their photographic creativity evolve. My eldest son opened his Flickr account in January 2016 when he turned 13 (the minimum age for Flickr), so expect some amazing things from him in 2017 - he's here: www.flickr.com/photos/139706324@N04
In January I set a Flickr goal to reach 7 million views by the end of the year. I had to re-evaluate that when I passed that figure around the middle of the year. I reset that target to 10 million views and it looks like I’ll fall just short of that with around 9.8 million total views. My last Explored image was in September, so if there were just one or two more images showcased in Explore since then I would have made that target relatively easily. Still an amazing thought that I’ve had nearly 10 million views when it feels like yesterday I was excited about having 10 thousand total views, which I often achieve in a single day now.
So thank you everyone for your support and encouragement along the way. I wish all of you a happy and safe new year - I look forward to seeing your amazing work through 2017.
Personally I would not have trusted the ice last weekend but a few determined fishermen were out in the harbor. This is the most ice I have seen in the harbor this past season.
Personally, I'm a little bored by aurora photos now, but when you're there in person, it's hard not to get a bit excited. An incredible display tonight - the northern lights clearly visible with the naked eye. With not a cloud in the sky (a rarity in these parts) and drama in every direction, it was hard to know where to point the camera!

personally, i believe there is more spirit outside church walls. but i still appreciate the beauty of these inner sanctums!
For me personally, the title I chose for this image not only applies to my significant other but is also how I feel in the company of my few close friends, my 3 wonderfully entertaining cats - well, ALL animals really, and especially when I'm horse riding. Similarly there are places that make me feel more alive - France in particular, in fact most of Europe really. Mountains, meadows, misty-mornings, thunderstorms, countryside, lakes and open oceanfront all make me feel this way.
And it's how I feel spending time out & about with my trusty camera :-)
Personally I like a "super zoom" for the flexibility.
I don't want to carry a lot of gear in the street and you normally don't have time to change lenses if a good shot just happens.

Like three years ago, starting the new season with a wonderful and enchanting Hubble's Variable Nebula (NGC 2261)
Previous approach: www.flickr.com/photos/olegbr/8552071862/in/dateposted/
I wanted to personally check whether it still variable ...
It was found that this is so :)
Here animation L-channel 200%: olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Of course, 3 years - a very large interval for observing the changes in the nebula. Everything is much faster: www.umanitoba.ca/science/astronomy/cbrown/imaging/hvn/ana...
In 2013-2016 animation, I drew attention to the star just above the nebula, which is for 3 years significantly shifted to the right.
To heighten the effect, combined with the current picture image DSS., For about 60 years, the offset is already pretty decent. olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Here www.astrosurf.com/mcianci/ngc2261.html Italian colleague calculated that the proper motion (proper motion) of the star 0.2" per year. The name is NLTT 16798 and is listed as High Proper Motion Star: simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=NLTT+16798
Explanation: What causes Hubble's Variable Nebula to vary? The unusual nebula pictured above changes its appearance noticeably in just a few weeks. Discovered over 200 years ago and subsequently cataloged as NGC 2661, the remarkable nebula is named for Edwin Hubble, who studied it earlier this century. Hubble's Variable Nebula is a reflection nebula made of gas and fine dust fanning out from the star R Monocerotis. The faint nebula is about one light-year across and lies about 2500 light-years away towards the constellation of Monocerotis. A leading variability explanation for Hubble's Variable Nebula holds that dense knots of opaque dust pass close to R Mon and cast moving shadows onto the reflecting dust seen in the rest of the nebula.

Another quandary over mono versus colour lol. I think both of these photos would look much better if they were HDR processed but I don't have the necessary skills. As York is a city steeped in history, I personally think I prefer the B&W. Please give me your thoughts :-)
This is another shot from our ride up Route 11 last Saturday. When I took this shot, the Meems Bottom Covered Bridge was right behind me. I've never personally found the bridge to be all that photogenic, but I really liked the tree lined road and the sunrays.
We saw this scene on our way to meet my parents for a morning hike to Big Schloss. You can see photos and read about that hike on our blog.
La beauté des arbres en cette saison, personnellement, j'aime découvrir leur forme magnifique.
The beauty of trees in this season, personally, I love to discover their magnificent shape.
I found lots of photos of buildings in my archives for the Gursky prompt, but I always seem to shoot buildings on a slant...I really like this one from Boston. :o)))

OK, what is a Winton? Personally, I never heard of them, but they do have an interesting, but somewhat brief history. And one, near identical to the one posted above performed quite an accomplishment that the article below will reveal and describe...so, read on!
The Winton Motor Carriage Company was a pioneer United States automobile manufacturer based in Cleveland, Ohio. Winton was one of the first American companies to sell a motor car. In 1912, Winton became one of the first American manufacturers of diesel engines.
In 1896, Scottish immigrant Alexander Winton, owner of the Winton Bicycle Company, turned from bicycle production to an experimental single-cylinder automobile before starting his car company.
The company was incorporated on March 15, 1897. Its first automobiles were built by hand. Each vehicle had painted sides, padded seats, a leather roof, and gas lamps. B.F. Goodrich made the tires.
In 1903, Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson made the first successful automobile drive across the United States. On a $50 bet (equal to $1,750 today), he purchased a slightly used two-cylinder, 20 hp (15 kW) Winton touring car and hired a mechanic, Sewall K. Crocker (April 7, 1883 – April 22, 1913), to accompany him. Starting in San Francisco, California, ending in Manhattan, New York City, New York. The trip lasted 63 days, 12 hours, and 30 minutes, including breakdowns and delays while waiting for parts to arrive (especially in Cleveland.) The two men often drove miles out of the way to find a passable road, repeatedly hoisted the Winton up and over rocky terrain and mud holes with a block and tackle, or were pulled out of soft sand by horse teams. In 1903, there were only 150 miles of paved road in the entire country, all inside city limits. There were no road signs or maps. They once paid the exorbitant price of $5 for five gallons of gasoline ($178 in 2024 dollars). Jackson and Crocker followed rivers and streams, transcontinental railroad tracks, sheep trails, and dirt back roads. The car is now part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History after Jackson himself donated the vehicle to the museum where it can still be seen on display.
