Toni, This one perhaps is a better example of Punctum of than the previous image for me. I am beginning to see what you mean. This old dog is still can learn new tricks. :lol: While I haven't ment my pictures to be examples of punctum (I'd be great if I could pulled it off just like that), I'm plea...

Nice shot Toni, though I was not able to relate to the concept of Punctum. I assure you, it is me and not the image or the concept. :) Sury, I assure you it's the French intellectualism where they a habit of making things more complex with theory rather than explaining them. It's a kind of science ...

Interesting subject, Toni. After seeing the train station, car and the street, I can certainly identify you with this shot. :) Thanks for the kind comment regarding my style. Not sure if it's style of manner, really.. :lol: -- Toni Ahvenainen (1976) Year of the Alpha - 52 Weeks of Sony Alpha Photog...

Clear view. Seeing couple of buildings and antenna there adds to the image.

You don't mention what kind of aperture you have used, but usually you want to shoot with relatively small aperture (f/10 - f/16) when working with macro images. This will give you a better depth of field. The flower itself is nice, but could use a bit more pop - you could also try vivid mode (or wh...

Interesting Toni, blue seems to be a dominating these of late. Not that anything is wrong with it. :lol: It's my favorite color too. :) Found something that might interest you: " If Your Favorite Color is Blue - If this is your favorite color you are conservative, reliable and trustworthy - yo...

Love the last two. Sury is spot on with the element in the train shot. My daughter loves 'drinking the rain' too :) Thanks for the kind words, Birma. How old is your daughter?

To be honest, I know that I'm not very good with the technical aspects of photography. In fact I rarely like a photograph just because it is technically good or even perfect. I have found personally, that photographs that I enjoy always pull at my emotions, but many times I'm unable to really artic...

To me this is an excellent collection of random elements nicely put together. Even the gap between the carriages with a tad light on top added to the image. Sury, this is an awesome comment!! 8) You know, I often find others to understand better my photography (and sometimes feel a bit stupid becau...
