Lovely, I really like the framing with trees / bushes silhouettes. And so nice, warm colours of the sky and the clouds.

A message is a form of content but it does not need to be.
The simplest way is to think about the content of a book, it does not need to have a message per se.
Joe had a good link which describe it better, let me quote a bit out of that.

Oh dear I really goofed up then It seems we agree in principles, although may describe it differently. But then even more - it seems that both content and form are important, however the balance between them may vary.Hopefully that explains it better then I did

You're all right.
@Michal, message or beauty isn't what content or form means so please don't try to degrade it so with my example.
I would certainly hang some photos on my wall even if the form of it is bad if the content is strong. I do not mean the photo I post here but there are others that you can't describe beautiful but would fit well on a wall.
Stefan, I see you misunderstood me - I did not mean offence at all. I just think that some photos don't need to carry a message - or now I don't understand what you mean by content?You're all right.

Sounds like a nice offer, Michal. Next year I may have some business with a barge builder in Gdansk. Where are you from?misiek_knm wrote:

The best vodka comes from Poland, but it's difficult to get in the UK.[quote:3496ace15f="bforbes"]There must be something up when, behind the bars of Scotland, they have 2 bottles of Vodka to a bottle of whiskey

G[/quote]In Poland: recently (read couple of years ago) from Szczecin (big city close to German border, North-West). For last 5 years I've been living in Grantham, UK. Each summer I go for my (2-week) summer holiday to my parents - halfway between Gdansk and Szczecin and my wife's parents in Szczecin.

Inspired by Fiona couple of months ago I decided to try some long exposures by a bonfire. I used K20D on a beanbag, 10s delay. Me and my brother used sticks set afire in the bonfire and started waving them. I think I could achieve better results using stronger (or few slaves) flash - but didn't have any then. So people are rather blurry. They are first attempts, I'll continue next year, let me know what do you think:

Please, advice on settings I should use - what apertures, times, anything which might be useful. I hope I'll take at least few good pictures
