Hiking through this forest usually results in great fall color shots, but on this cloudy, wet day the pattern of trees stood out.
The shadow of Mauna Kea is projected by the rising sun over Hualalai, the third major volcano of Hawaii's Big Island (after Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa). I waited for the full moon so that it would set near the shadow of Mauna Kea at sunrise.
No major Photoshoppery or compositing is involved here.
captured in palmanova, this image vividly illustrates the silent stories of two couples seated by the beach, their contrasting body language revealing the dynamics of their relationships. on the right, a couple sits closely with their legs angled towards each other, symbolizing a connection that has endured over time. their bodies lean slightly inward, indicating mutual interest and affection. in contrast, the couple on the left displays a different story; they sit apart with their bodies and legs turned away from each other, suggesting lives that have grown separate. each person seems lost in their own world, embodying a sense of isolation despite their physical proximity. the serene backdrop of sunbathers and gentle waves adds a layer of irony, as the beach's tranquility contrasts with the subtle emotional distance on the bench, showcasing how love can both thrive and wane over the years.

This is looking straight up the inside of a ladder. This is actually an honest to goodness shot. As far as post processing, there is not hardly anything done to this shot. I removed a minor smudge, and that's about it.
This photo has won quite a few awards and has actually been on display in museum exhibits too :)
Here it is with a black background

A Winner of Theme of the Week for minimalism.
This was taken an hour or so after " Frosted frame ". I haven't altered it in any way , the different hue is caused by the sun trying to break through the mist but not making it.

Oltrepo Pavese, 45th parallel north. Very harsh light, I recommend a walk from Pietra de' giorgi to Lirio during the sunset.
The 45th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 45 degrees north of Earth's equator. It crosses Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America, and the Atlantic Ocean. The 45th parallel north is often called the halfway point between the equator and the North Pole, but the true halfway point is 16.0 km (9.9 mi) north of it (approximately between 45°08'36" and 45°08'37") because Earth is an oblate spheroid; that is, it bulges at the equator and is flattened at the poles.
At this latitude, the sun is visible for 15 hours 37 minutes during the summer solstice, and 8 hours 46 minutes during the winter solstice. The midday Sun stands 21.6° above the southern horizon at the December solstice, 68.4° at the June solstice, and exactly 45.0° at either equinox.
