Photographer's Note
Nice to see you again, my friends! :-))
I have a few days free between the two semesters and decided to upload this bright piece of red rope: to remind you I am still alive...;-D and to tell you that maybe after a few more pictures I will take another long vacation from TE as I will be pretty busy again, till summer time.
I suppose you are not surprised to see at background three neatly placed fishing boats, lying calmly on the shore and enjoying the warm late afternoon sun in Balchik.
Actually what you see is a macro shot, as this red rope was no bigger than half of my palm and I found it hard to compose the picture from a distance bigger than 10-15 cm...After I uploaded it on my PC I was delighted to discover the boats in background.
We had a very nasty winter days here recently, with a lot of snow and heartbreakingly low temperatures. That's why I decided to stake on the red colour - symbol of the warmth ...even in a very cold winter...:-)
Hope you will enjoy it too!
PP: sharpened and clarified once, cropped a tiny strip from right and bottom.
All comments for improvement are warmly welcomed as always!

Hello Maria, nice to see you back with a picture, and such a beautiful red rope to fill the frame with! I really would not have guessed that it was that small.
The background with th well known Varna boats is vey nice.
I like the symbolism of warmth in your note, Maria, welcome back.

Hi Maria, welcome back. Been a long rest you've had. NIce to see you return with the king of shot that caused me to notice your photos in the first place. Also a bit like some of George's, maybe a bit of his style rubbed off.

Very delightful red color "mass" of rope. It itself forms very nice graphical touch in this beautifully composed shot. Could have been cropped even closer - but you mentioned those boats on left upper corner - so no guestion of more croppings. Sunshine increases a lot that red color tone, of course. Well considered this shot, Maria.

A macro? This rope seems to us so big and of a really lively red. The image is clear and consisted well. Very happy of your presence in TE.

Hi Maria - Yes I know the feeling - perhaps must I take a break from TE soon - theres to much to be done elsewhere.
I like the mix of colours and shiny metal - truly warm image on a cold day perhaps - thanks Maria

Hi Maria. Great to see you back after your long break. An interesting pattern shot you are showing here with the red rope making a cheerfully colored main interest for your compo. And it's really nice to see the three boats in the back - together with the light you captured, I would say this is a distinctive sunny photo ;-)

It's so nice to "see" you again Maria. I'am sorry to know that this is a short visit, but I am glad that you took time to say hello to us. I hope that school is going well for you.
Very nice photo with great strong colors. I like it.

Bonsoir Maria,
Cadrage trθs serrι sur ce cordage rouge effilochι. Prise de vue audacieuse, mais parfaitement mise en valeur.
La couleur rιveille les coeurs endormis.
Trθs bien fait Maria.
Bien amicalement.

Hi Maria,
Nice to have you "onboard" again (I guess this word is very much appropriate for you ;)) ), I wish you to be successful in your activities.
Very nice close up view you upload today, the level of detail of this rope structure is excellent, the light falls nicely onto it and the red color variations are outstanding !
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

You're so busy......
A nice picture with this little piece of rope, it looks like a huge heavy one and that's, what's make this a good shot. The light falling on the rope, the beautiful red and of course, "your" boats in the background. It's really nice to see you "Sun", however from time to time...

The cold chrome reflecting a bright light contrast nicely with the fraying red rope.
To have such a depth with a macro shot is quite nice indeed.

Your note explains it all, Maria, you made an excellent work! The red is in fact a warm colour and we can feel and see its texture because of your good and strong composition!
