Great lights and b&w. as lincemiope said, in Italy there are plenty of it, of all the shapes and colors. Good luck author

First time I see it, and it looks strange to me. Great lighting and color tones.

This is very pretty. GL

the photo is beautiful, but the machine is normal in Italy

That's so cute and nice lol surely an unique model.

great photo, not sure I would call it strange, they make great coffee

great photo!

Great Lighting!

nice photo and great clarity

lovely light, DOF and colours

I like the droplets on the flower.

well composed

very fine, bravo.

Nice Congrats! :0

Love the focus! And the black and white really accents the man

Agree w/ friiskiwi here...lovely tones and great clarity, but, perhaps I might have chosen to remove some of the distortion by straightening the towers a bit...al-in-all a good entry though author

great shot

Lots of character in this. Love the deep blacks.

Good capture, mood is really nice.

like the tones, but not crazy about the distortion

wonderful, I'd crop it a little closer so people who don't bother looking at the High res, can get the full impact.

beautiful

Congrats!

pretty colors

Exquisite lighting, it looks very soft and romantic. Great capture.

Nice shot, but not a lot of green.

Very eye-catching! Well done!

Very pretty. I'd like my footprints in that sand

Very nice bokeh on the background...

Lovely!!!

bravo,

very good, water and colour

Nicely done

The transition from brown sand to blue sky with the almost straight white surf acting as boundary markers really make this wonderful shot taken just at the right moment when the tide receded.

oh my gosh I love this!

Can't tilt the other way or the bike would be lost. I normally have a problem with tilted angles, but somehow this suits the shot. looks great.

That's a really cool shot!

we need the recipe too, do read the goal.

I love the colors/exposure etc. Can't decide if I like the tilt or not. Maybe, if there is a tilt, do it the other way so the front wheel is tilted "up." I dunno

That's pretty cute

congrats on 2nd place! I think your's personally was better. (one of my favs)

These night shots are always so intriguing. very nice.

Nice composition but too over processed.

Nice one,author..

lol - cute

I like it but I think the HDR is just a little over cooked leaving a halo effect around the main building. It lloks like Geelong, Vic?

Nice exposure

Nice... but it'd be nice to have the top of the building in the center included

Nice, but a little over saturated

beautiful
