That's great! I had no idea geckos could be living earrings... How did you catch it? they're so shy...

I like the frame of this shot, it seems we peep in from outside. Well done!

... pyromaniac???

In fact I was stressing out that your shot only has many, many, many acute angles so it is more on topic than any other...

Nice image of old age... I would try a bit more contrast.

Well done!
What are those? Chinese restaurant sticks?

with so many acute angles, I wonder if someone will say that the whole makes a more than 90 angle... hahaha! well done author!

... I think waters are too tranquil....

well, I know who the winner would have been if the contest asked for the greatest number of angles... and not even one right angle... wow!

you're an artist!

what a shiny top!

haha! hydrant + natural hydrant... very funny!

... it's a bracelet, kyricom! a bracelet! keep your eyes on the bracelet!!!

... it looks like a crown!

Nice shot.Maybe a dark background would havegiven more impact to the delicate colours.

wow, jeani, you're right! Great image! At the beginning I was not so sure about the choice of the background but finally I think it's perfect and the result is very refined.

In my opinion, the shot is on topic as watches are (also) sold in jewelry shops.
Very nice image and feelings. Bravo!

Very nice image. Yet I wonder if the preciousness of the rings would not have been better underlined with a neutral background.

Nice composition. HR would be welcome.

Don't ask mods to remove it, it is on theme!
You know, you can ask to make no comment, but comments will come from the vote itself so...
The bad shots in this contest will simply get low votes....

I like the shadows and also the crumbs of coloured light just near the necklace!

karaflazz and/or author, please explain better: does that mean that a macro of a crystal will never be perfectly on focus? That's very interesting (for those who do not know too much on photography). Thanks!
I'am asking this as I had tried to take this kind of shots and I gave up, the result was far from being perfect.

Very clear colours, clean image

It probably helps put the fire down quicker...

haha! you must have catched the image of the result of the Nova explosion... (see "Splat"
Great shot!

A very rare image of a Nova explosion!!!

yes, roxy, the author thought it was fireworks but he/she actually managed to take a picture of Star Trek Enterprise!!!

REMARKABLE!!! What is the vertical part? A tree or another fire? Very nice effect!

It's very interesting how this dark shot turns full of light in Higgh Resolution! Great effect!

Lovely!!! It looks like a chrysanthemum

Oooooh, a jellyfish in the sky!!!!
Great movement and delicate colours!

Great!!! It's absolutely perfect to illustrate Gulliver's travel in Brobdingnag!

You're right karaflazz but you have to admit it's a very unusual shot and the less than 90 angles represent the very heart of it.
I think creativity should be rewarded. Sometimes there are shots which are technically perfect but they do not transmit anything, they have no life in them. This quietly mad shot does.

Lovely!

I think it is suspended but... the other way round....
Very funny kite! I particularly like the effect of the white thread, it looks like the trace left by an airplane.

WELCOME to pxleyes!
p.s. Comments are meant to be a friendly help!

It definitely is on topic. May I yet suggest you try to compose it a little better: maybe take the shot of the green lamp with the water background only. I think it would have more impact. It would have been a curious photo.

They're so shiny that they might seem out of focus. HR reveals the cleanliness of the shot and also the very delicate play of reflections.

Great shot (and courage!). I would try to put a bit more contrast to it to make it more dramatic.

Great image of the snowflake, yet I would prefer it did not fall on my head...

YES! I agree, she looks suspended...

ooops, sorry WYSIWIG, I only now see that I repeated what you said... well, maybe we're right?...

I think for all of us there has been a moment of "I give up" either due to criticism or for having shots eliminated even when you think they are on topic.
I think one of the main (and most interesting) characteristics of this site is that they put together people from different places with very different personalities. The common denominator is the hobby or passion of taking photos. We all have something in common so.... we cannot be that bad...
You'll see, many will help, I have learned many tricks and techniques. Yet it's only a game. If I may suggest, just take the fun part of it.

Delicate... Refined choice of colours. Was this used as Christmas card?

we'll all email you to know how you did it...

ooops... maybe I was wrong about the author

I like these little guys... I think I've already seen them in some other contest. Nice to see them again...

Great shot! I love it. Have you tried to crop out the building? Perhaps it would give more the idea of a hydrant in a desterted place. Maybe it would look even more unusual.

I'm really puzzled by the location of some of the hydrants...

Incredible! I've never seen such a thing! Is it real?
