Costa del Sol / Andalucia
In my series * Places and Faces * I today like to send some vitamines to TL friends in SouthAfrica .. Archi in TL : ajnviper and Annette .. in Tl cleocat
Many off you may know these two charming persons.. they always are positive in there presence in TL
by postings and constructive critiques to others
Thanks my friends !!
So I photographed my today's symbolic gift for Archie and Annette in my Hotel * Aloha Puerto *
in Torremolinos .. where I go 2x a year for the last 7-8 years. A Hotel I really can reccommend ! Breakfast and dinner in buffet - style on a VERY good standerd (a 4 Star Hotel) .
After dinner there is also a wide range of deserts .. and fresh strawberries is one of them.
When careless the first few days with sunshine .. my face might turn red in the color like these strawberries.. so that's my link to my today's posting (^_~)
Click here for the
Sol Aloha Puerto Hotel

Answering your critiques this weekend might be a little hard for me due to little housse-alterations .. so sorry about it; but I will look at your work and 'critique' along!!

Thanks for popping in Folks ...
(and thank you Annette and Archi .. you are such wonderful (TL) friends !)
Signed
John Tulip

PS
Tomorrow might be shocking:
Some in TL asked my 'self portait' to see the man
behind the lens... ok..I will post an 'unsharp' one (*_-)

Hola John,
Très belle photo pleine de détails.
Magnifique éclairage.

I think this is my all time favorite John. I LOVE strawberries - always have. This looks like I could reach right up there and take a bite. Beautiful color and lovely detail. MMMM, I'm hungry.

This does remind me of a story that my mother told me about myself as a wee gal. She said she had a strawberry plant that had all of these green strawberries, tons. My mother was so excited and couldn't wait for the strawberries to start ripening. Well, the days came and went, and she noticed that her strawberries vanished before they ever got ripe. Then one day, she caught me outside very deliberately picking the bright red ripe strawberries right off the vine and eating them!!! I was caught red handed quite literally!!

heel knappe close up foto ze zijn rijp voor consumptie, moeten nog wat taartjes beleggen dus stuur ze maar op:-)
mooi bijpassend frame, kan zo als illustratie dienen;)

Very, very nice shot John. Great sharpness and great red colour. Well captured.

I love strawberries super macro!
Tyanne

They look juicy!
With that frame I would easily see it hung in my kitchen!

and this is simply GREAT, looks like the "teNeues" agenda's and note books!
beautifull fresh!

Wow John, this is such a beautiful photo so the first thing I had to do when looking at it was to add it to my list of favourites. I like the sharpness, the composition and the choice of frame is excellent.

Just returned from a wonderful holiday and was very careful with the sun, honest:)) Again, lovely shot!!

Shelly:)

Om zo in te bijten.
Perfect John!
Groet
Rob
ps..
Heb dat nieuwe programma
psp 9 wat je vertelde,
kom gauw een avond met Jolan ok ?
Hulp nodig :-)

Double yummy!

I just love strawberries and fresh cream and as a South African it is in my blood.

The image is well composed and the colours are vibrant. The large strawberry in the centre is well lit and enhanced even more by the darker strawberries behind it, drawing the viewer's attention to the main focal point. Fine details are crisp and clear. Overall a great image.

The frame also accentuates the main subject - colours were chosen well and the size emphasises the boldness in the image. Very well done.
