It is indeed a nice cloud - why is the ISO so high?

It must say something about your humour or your relationship with vases :). Some lovely deep, rich colours in there. and a nice composition too. The Pentacon 30mm is a rebadged Meyer Optik Lydith. Depending on the name on it you can pay much more for a Lydith and it's exactly the same animal. You can use it for pseudo macro shots too because its resolution allows huge crops.

I think it likes you.

That's interestingly separated out.

I think the French name suits this one better?

Very well deserved award !

Lovely shot. The mixture of bronze and blue on its body is most effective. You would think a top designer was responsible.

You could imagine this on the wall of a very high class gallery. Magnificent.

I wonder where the other one is? Nice photo of it, however bizarre. Nice beach there too.

I'm guessing it was hand held too so well done!
