Spectacular shots... Love the fisheye shots, makes me hanker after such a lens!

Nice shots Pri!

For a moment I thought the harbour was Travemuende, but the Trave is much wider than that....isn't it?

Thanks all!

Fabulous, as usual Ralf You'd better watch out though, I'm hot on your heels, approaching 40 now!

Having said that I still get quite depressed when I look at your PPG collection and see 80 masterpieces. I look at mine and see a few decent shots, a whole bunch of mediocre shots, and some that I think were accepted by mistake

PS Fabulous fisheye shot. Looks like Hong Kong - is it?

Tim,

I know the feeling as I exactly feel the same when I look at other people's collections. So either both of us got lucky with some shots or it is just normal that you are overly critical with your own shots. I even considered deleting some of them...

The fisheye shot was taken in Singapore (so you're not that far off looking from where we are).

Oh well if it's Singapore then I hate it (spoken like a true Hong Kong boy )

Description from one of the PPG candidates I just voted on:

"An architecture building structure"

Very helpful.

Hi Prieni I had a look through your PPG gallery last night, and what a collection of shots! The fisheye shot here of the buildings and sky is absolutely stunning! As is the harbour, the snowflakes, the pebbles.....The quality of your shots almost makes me think I should give up photography, but I will keep plugging on, just it's such a long way to go........
