Superb contribution, Vandana -- I was inspired by John Tulip as well in my posting of the day.
I like this image for the mood it gives, also for the memories of your Christmas holiday trip
superb details (though I think I might have straightened it just a little)

Hello Vand
Good post. All we can do is sending a 'shoulder' for them to put there heads on. You know what makes it so real for me?
It is like Silke said.. maybe a little straightened , but knowing you and how precise you are, you did not care, you wanted the photo online. Am I right? And that makes it even more vcaluable.

Hello Vandana

Wonderful image here, extreemly thought provoking.. an empty bench.. so we can empty our minds and fill with thoughts of others.

Superb sharpness and detail in this image and I also love the colour tones

Hello Vandana.
Good picture to overthink the Fieldfire situation in Greek.
It gives the idea that everybody is helping the victims down there.
Well choosen.

Hi Vandana!
The lonely bench is invaiting for the rest on it but around he has nobody.For me is a sad a bit.But who said the photography was supposed to entertain?
Cheers.

ciao vandana.. i agree
as this shot with an empty bench.. we feel a sense of empty when someone leaves us forever.. or something serious happens..
i love this shot full of deeply mood.. i love this citation of J.de La Fontaine.. it's a great symbol of hope when everything seems lost...

Hello Vandana,

A nice perspective shot here Vandana.

The depth of field is excellent and very appropriate I think. Maybe the frame is very slightly tilted but that doesn't bother me. The detail is excellent as well and I like the composition very much and I agree with your sentiment.
Congratulations!
Best wishes

Nice sentimental note. It's a tragedy, wherever such occurs! There are fires everywhere, but the Greek fires are by far the worse!

A wonderful tilt to this, but I REALLY love the teeny bit of the foot of the bench over the edge of the frame! Nice curves of the bricks leading the eye around! Very nice Vandana!

in half top part of the pic the tilted vertical lines don't works for me
but in the same time the half bottom part is very good
i tried a rotation of your pic just to see
finaly you made the right choice of framing
for the symbolic part of the post, i agree that an empty bench could evoke sadness, and the dramatic events are really sad

Hi Vandana
Tragic event well remembered - like your bench and it's simplicity. Not sure about the lines of the buildings in the backgrouds - need some straightening. Would do a WS but I haven't tried one with a frame. Not sure how that would work.
On a different note - I have my 18-200 and will post an image tomorrow.

Let's be quiet for a moment Vandana, like in your beautiful picture, sharp details as always, nice colours - but still natural and soothing and then that one leg of the bench just standing on the frame... Lovely composition.
See you soon-:)

Hi Vandana,
This unfortunate worlwide problem transforms and destroys our planet and the "good man" is practically impotent in avoiding it while the "bad man" deliberately provokes it in many cases.
Thank you for sharing your concern and let's all hope for the best given the circumstances.

Hello Vandana,

I agree that in the aftermath of the destruction we can only wait and see if Greece will rise once more from its ashes. Most Greeks are getting resources together and the effort will be immediate.
Lovely image to depict your feelings. Looking forward seeing you in Holland.

Hello Vandana, this image is a very nice thought for our greek friends and their community. I wrote to Vassilis my worries.

Nice details in the architecture and I like the soft colours.
But I would have straightened the image.
Nice low pov. I like that.
Tfs.

Well done! Yan :)

Hi Vandana,
this is a good shot, I like the textures (cobbled stones) on the ground and the nice lead-in characteristics therein.
Personally I have 2 main nit-picks here:
1. Perhaps a tad bit more saturation/contrast
2. Perhaps slight anti-clockwise rotation, or perhaps a result of barrel distortion.

Anyway these are all easy to sort out.

Good effort.
Best regards, Daniel

It is bad what happened in Greece. Most of us were watching the news trying to cope with the situation there. The empty bench is very symbolic in this image. Solitude and even despair is something that come to my mind. An excellent composition conveying strong human emotions. Thanks for sharing this beautiful image Vandana.
