I feel this image would be better in the 'brick' contest, the lock is too small to be of significance here.

I think I'm going to run out and rent that.

Very appropriate

and still available for rent

great find, so much going on.

The smoke drifting by lends this photo a nice touch. Good job.

Agree with Kyricom and Friiskiwi in regard to showing the reflection in this photo. How about shooting in HDR to make the refection more pronounce? Or making the red colour a little bit more darker? Anyway, well done

I like those reflections... the style of architecture kind of fits the shot... Lots nicer than the usual reflection of a photographer

lovely, I really like the reflection of the buildings showing on the bonnet.

I've always wanted to see the reminders of the Roman empire. I'll get there someday. Thanks for the shot

Interresting picture.
It's not your fault but I imagine that with a more cloudy sky it would have been more powerful.

beautiful sky

great, that shoe is laughing at you.

Hahahaha, love it. Especially since for all the rubber bands and string, the sole is still not back near the shoe...Very fun entry!

Beautiful colors...

Very different type, I've never seen any like that before!

Love the contrasting colours.

wow..! are such butterfly found in nature...! have not seen in NGC or Discovery channel even lol awesome if its living !

wonderful !

Great capture, you can see the translucence of the wings, with the leaves showing through. I've never seen a butterfly with a sexy, lacy, set of wings before. Very interesting!

What a fascinating looking creature! Between the eye patterns and the "legs," it seems to have an edge on not getting eaten by birds. Beautiful focus, the details are nice and clear!

pretty..

Nice find and well shot, GL author

So good to see your back in action Author!

Aren't they all, lol!

Amazing combination of colours and textures. There's a certain vintage feel to this shot. Really like it!

I like that they kept the old bells.

Beautiful!

pearl-- good

Hello! Great to see you! Are you going to invite me in your kiwi garden, or not? ha ha
Good luck!

Top shot...well done author

Nice composition and colours. Lighting I think could have been better, though if this is a public place, you probably couldn't control that.

Love it!

Very interesting, thanks for sharing and good luck.

Nice!

Just use selective colour and adjust the cyan and blue. Great entry btw.

You changed something? Did you try auto color? I had the same issue with my entry but the auto color reversed it. My entry looked more purple than blue but auto color corrected it.

You might want to up the saturation levels. It looks more gray than blue.

Very nice. The soft focus helps imply the painting. Good job

Is the scarf blue..?

Hey can I come to Rome to your garden too? Sounds wonderful!!! Great photo too and nice to see you!

Superb high res here..
