Hi Tatiana,
The one that jumps out at me and that I think fits the challenge best is #10. I love how it turned out, it reminds me of an impressionist painting.
The only thing I'd do is crop out that pole, it's a little tilted and distracting. I like the muted colors as well.

I blv I read an earlier post that if you use the smugmug cropping tool it doesn't change the modified date and that it was ok to use. I'd try it out on a non contender to make sure though (if you decide to crop that is).
Great image.

"The only thing I'd do is crop out that pole" - I think that is a seam between 2 stones on the face of a building.

I really like that effect!

I also really like the reflections in 15 through 19 and 11 and 13.

Of the reflections, I like 17 best.

Thank you for the comments.

Liz, yes I know about the cropping tool, thank you

#17 is one of my favorites. I'll have to think about...

Thank you again.

Unfortunately I don't see them as hitting the theme. But I have to say, I can't stop looking at 6, 8, 9 and 10. Wow! Beautifully seen and so well captured. What great exposures! Nice!!!

Paintguy · April 15, 2010

I agree there is something about #10. Nice work.

silversx80 · April 15, 2010

Personally, I like #4 and #12. #17 is pretty neat as well; too bad for that pillar :cry .

kdotaylor · April 15, 2010

I like #10 a LOT. But I, too, would crop the pole out of it.

travelways · April 15, 2010

Thank you very much for your comments.

I cropped #10 and this is how it looks like:

I may be able to take some more shots like this, these days

This was my favorite one, too Tatiana! And, the crop is perfect.

Wow, thank you Linda

I may go with this then.

However, I was so glad to come back from Mexico right on this challenge time, because
I was thinking of my favorite shots - in the rain

Fortunately there will be some days of rain starting maybe this afternoon :ivar

I'll still wait a few days to see what I can get with the rain - unfortunately
the spring colors are not here yet (Ottawa, Canada), but I may be able
to find some colors somehow...

kdotaylor · April 16, 2010

Yes, I really like that with the new crop. Very, very nice indeed

Oh, thank you Virginia - this really encourages me a lot now

- I'll be out in the rain for the rest of the day(s) - even if only just for fun

travelways · April 16, 2010

Well, today it rained only in the morning, and by the time I could go out it stopped

I got this one yesterday evening though... May I ask how do you find it?

Thank you,

travelways · April 16, 2010

OK, no comments on the VW...

But what do you think about this China Town shot?

Thank you,

TLVoDra · April 16, 2010

I like the image you cropped and entered. The texture is nice. The man could be the same guy I snapped walking in a park for the green contest a few weeks back. Similar hat, coat...made me look twice. (THAT would be a wierd coincidence...)

ic4u · April 16, 2010

I still prefer your current entry

mr peas · April 17, 2010

I really wish you could have cropped closer on #3 to purposely weigh the image on the people walking with the Rolex to accent it as a bg, but I'd pick that from your entire set.
