Wonderful EOD Katarina! #8557814Usman M. Bajwa May 12, 2010
Of all your April entries, this one is tops for me. The wonderful colors, distorted reflections and elements of design, the lines and overall composition is just out-of-this-world. The other that I specially liked are 'levels' for fantastic tones and pov, 'the beauty of old age' for exquisite colors and details, 'shy' for fabulous presentation, 'music for my ears' for perfect conceptual execution in an image and 'superior' again for the splendid pov and EOD. I see some more gold coming your way. Good Luck!UB. #8605685

Your ability to see the perfect juxtaposition of different elements in the environment around you is unequaled and the resulting images are always intriguing. I love the bold colors against the crisp white. This is my favorite of your June entries and I'm so glad to see it re-entered.Nikki McDonald July 12, 2010
