This is a rose glowing in the evening sun. I processed the image in Snapseed. The original image wasn’t perfectly sharp. I hope I’ve disguised that by enhancing the glorious colour. One from the archives but new to Flickr.
I am a relatively new convert to roses. I love the colours, the scents, the robustness. Not too keen on the thorns. Can anybody in the U.K. recommend gloves / gauntlets without leather?

When I opened this RAW file it was a black blob with a blue wing and red eye. My goal was to build a work flow that would get more detail and never planned to post it due to the background. Any critique you have, I would love to here it.
Quando ho aperto questo file RAW era un blob nero con un'ala blu e un occhio rosso. Il mio obiettivo era quello di creare un flusso di lavoro che avrebbe ottenuto maggiori dettagli e mai pianificato di postarlo a causa dello sfondo. Qualsiasi critica hai, mi piacerebbe qui.

This shot will help one understand why the bird is named 'Bronzed'. The bird is a daily visitor to the backyard and it loves to announce its arrival with a harsh grating call. Also they choose prominent perches from where to scan the surroundings for prey and so it makes it easy for us to get good shots of them. They are great flyers and are a joy to watch. They actively forage for insects under the forest canopy by making acrobatic aerial sallies, often returning to their favourite perches.
They are very similar to the other drongos of the region but are somewhat smaller and compact with differences in the fork depth and the patterns of gloss on their feathers.

At low tide the ripples in the sand were reflecting the colours of the morning sunrise.
Post processed to bring out the definition of shapes and colour palette.

And now for something different... a couple of days ago I was out at Confluence State Park-- the point where the Mississippi and Missouri rivers come together. Right at the tip where the rivers meet, there were quite a few of these beetles in the sand. They are a bit drab from a distance, but the patterns and colors become apparent when you look closely. Very cool little beetles!
Since I had the wing-tip shoes I graduated college in, and was married in, I got them bronzed at Nieman-Marcus in Chicago. II decided to try it with the weather. Heee

Unfortunately I couldn't find the plaque with the name of this striking sculpture author - neither on site no on the Internet. My French is probably not good enough for that. But I'd like to know... what are these offerings, what is the story?
Mark Swan's bronze sculpture "Diva" at the Royal Horticultural Society Wisley Gardens in Surrey. There are plenty of sculptures in this vast area, and this one in particular, facing a pond and surrounded by benches where people can sit down and relax, produces an element of playfulness. Playfulness is important for horticulture which, at the RHS Wisley, people are a dead serious about.
These bronze whaler sharks inhabit subtropical waters, and they feed on smaller sharks, rays, and bony fish. Unfortunately, bronze sharks are prime targets for both commercial and sports fishermen.

A bronze piece depicting a man reclining in attendance to a banquet. It was once part of the support for a bronze bowl. From Dodona, Greece and probably a Laconian work, dating to circa 530-500 B.C.
Now on display at British Museum.
This is by far the most beautifully metallic green individual I've ever found! Absolutely stunning!!

British Museum photo, cropped and with very minor level adjustments. An admirably clear institutional photo! And an unusual one, of a local fish. I think this is an African snakehead, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachanna_africana
The Benin "bronzes" have been much in the news in the art world of late. Nigeria has been seeking their return for decades, to little avail. But the French Musee de Quai Branly has agreed in principle to return their substantial holdings, which they purchased from the British Admiralty, which auctioned off much of their war booty from the conquest of the Kingdom of Benin in 1897. Details are here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benin_Bronzes
-- which includes a link to the BM holdings, by far the largest in the world.
