What is SEP2? I love the theatrically rich colours of this processing.

I love the old time feel of this photo. The B/W conversion is beautifully smooth, very real, very believable. Great smiles. The border treatment is the perfect complement. Well done.

Haha, a photo that brings a big grin to my face. It has this funny quality of whacky storytelling, and a curious combination of explosive motion yet almost cement static feel. Very weird. I like it!

Lovely picture. So warm and friendly, it makes me dream of pizza and a glass of red, with my loved ones. I really like this picture, and this kind of picture.

Thank you all.

@nam, thank you very much for the suggestions. I had tried it in BW, but for me it does not work that way. As to lighten the shadows, thank you again for the suggestion, I will try it, however, I am rather satisfied with the look as it is. But thank you anyway. BTW, I have been emphasizing shadows/blacks in my colour pictures in the last few months, because of listening to Moose Peterson and looking at his work. He intensifies the blacks, and also the whites, for more contrast, to make the images pop. I've discovered that this approach really works, not always, but often. I do it in RAW conversion, which then allows me to do little editing to finish the image. I quite like that. I am talking about colour photography, not BW photography. As a friend of mine likes to say, "to have good light you have to have good shadows". Anyway :)

I thought it was some sort of bottle or vase, the top part of it. And it is a ball! Wow. I love this one. It has good energy, and looks beautiful.

I love your birds in their environment. The grasses here look lovely, and the birds are beautiful and colourful.

Really good control of DOF, to get the ball this sharp and everything else out of focus!
