@gnd, just amazing colours again.
Phrasikleia said:A great example of a photo that breaks the 'rules' successfully. Ordinarily it's advisable to avoid a centered subject because centered subjects tend to result in static compositions. In this case, the angle of the moving bishop injects some nice dynamism and gets the eye moving around. The many echos of tone and form really help to tie together the two sides of the photo, so it doesn't break apart, either (another common consequence of centered subjects). I even think the harsh bokeh works here, since it echoes the glassy, reflective chess pieces (instead of merely being a foreign, distinct element that is competing for attention). Really nice photo!
+1 for me... I love the way the light plays on - and through - the translucent chess pieces. A perfect shot for a 50mm lens. I see a lot of pictures, with 50mm lenses, wide open, where the point of focus has been nothing in particular. This shot demonstrates how to control narrow depth-of-field for a purpose.
Compelling action shot. I have always been a fan of your surfer shots. A little more fill light in post would pull this one up a bit. Is that alge that turns the crest of the surf green?![]()
1/2000 sec - f/8.0 - ISO800 - 300mm (450mm equiv)
I like this one better than the previous shot from this area. Something about the detail in the surrounding land appeals to me. Great use of beautiful light.Thanks! It's easy when the nature cooperates

Thanks, but I think you may have me confused with srf4real regarding any previous shotsCompelling action shot. I have always been a fan of your surfer shots. A little more fill light in post would pull this one up a bit. Is that alge that turns the crest of the surf green?
I really quite like this photo. It's got a wonderful feel to it.
Great shot, Sonor.
Hmmm... a difficult choice of beards: high-maintenance or low-maintenance?
