* Wednesday C&C "No Theme" Thread #811 / Revived #031 on 2023 11 01 *

Still working through last month's trip images.

Also, this one I just find funny.

In ACR, raised exposure and vibrance. Left in all the noise from under-exposure. In main workspace: adjusted brightness and added a texture called craquelure (from PSE's filter section). Cropped a bit.

The view is from in front of my apartment, where I could see the moon rise over the ridgeline (the red at base). However, most of the "view" is obstructed by evergreen branches or the tops of the trees shown, which have mostly lost their leaves to the season. There are also 10 power/utility wires in my way most of the time. I've not yet figured out how to use them successfully in a composition 😁

Here is one with evergreen branches:
Moonrise by Linda Shorey, on Flickr

I like this one.
Curious that the two busts are blindfolded while the technicians do the conservation work. Maybe it'll hurt less this way 😀

Sunset

At my first glance I was wondering what the Indian guy with a fully loaded bike truck was doing in Pisa :-)
Your text made it clear.

Nice image for a calendar.
I think the mountainside in the foreground is a bit dark (considering that it takes up half the frame).

It is indeed delightful! I see that the sign in the window on left says you must call a phone number for medical assistance. Guess they don't want walk-ins from all those procedures-gone-wrong at the tattoo parlor 😁

Somehow I'm thinking of Michelangelo's painting "The creation of Adam" with those two outstretched fingers almost touching. Perhaps the man is installing that spark of life into this new artificial being. Is this the start of AI ?

That blue eyed bird looks quite fancy, especially in the lavender coloured blossom. Lovely springtime in Australia.

Nice.
Looking closer it seems like this one represents a canoe in a pond? I guess that means something in the context of this artwalk?
The different angled surfaces certainly make for some nice contrasting reflections. I'm sure it's an interesting Artwalk to make

great classic foggy shot.
Nice and bright autumn colours with lots of contrast in the foreground, all gradually fading away in the distance.

Good !
Not sure how you did this or what the original looked like but the result is good !
I think I can see a windmill, a crane and perhaps even a hot air baloon in there somewhere?

cool
Yes, I can imagine Puff the Magic Dragon flying by here :-)

The second one has a really nice texture. It's a nicely composed shot too

I think the leaning tower reminds the viewer the boxes on the bike are precarious and in turn the life of recycler is also precarious. It is all day by day and moment by moment.

I like the second image here as well.
Instinct tells me I need to know why they are pointing. Maybe if I stare at it a little longer...
Except I will always be blind at this angle from seeing what they see, similar to the busts.

Thanks for the feedback Manuel.
I left the foreground quite dark to let that bright mountain hut and the trees in the sunshine really shine out from the shadows. Like a bright light glowing at the end of a tunnel long hike ;-)

I see this one as, if you are a tourist, get drunk, visit tattoo parlor and all that ails you is fixed.
or
You got a bad tattoo on vacation, they can fix it!

Just so many ways to interpret this.

Maybe, fell off jet ski, broke leg, get a cast, pain killers and a tattoo to remember the time you broke your leg on vacation!
