    Didn't get a lot of time for pics this trip, mostly while walking around a couple of gardens...one or two from Kuala Lumpur for variety. Absolutely itching to justify every single one of them, but I'll refrain and see what you guys think...

    Leaves


    Curls


    Touch


    Carving


    Light


    Bamboo


    Cacti


    Texture


    Reflection


    Ivy


    Shadow


    Grid


    Oh, and I fiddled a wee bit with the contrast on most of them...

    Wow, not a photo expert by any means - but they all look awesome to an untrained eye!

    Especially "Light" and "Grid"

    Good Job!

    the first one isn't leading for me

    not sure about 'touch', and 'curls' looks weird, not sure why. They are really nice photos though, colours are great. I like 'ivy' the most.

    I eventually figured out that you meant 'loading'. Right you are, link was bad.

    Touch is out of focus, but I liked it enough to post it, and Curls is completely unbalanced, and looks better a little larger, but I think the bokeh (which is just gorgeous, I'm sure you agree - thank you very much 85mm 1.8) swayed it for me.

    Ivy is alright, but I think I only put it in 'cause of the balance theme seen in Shadows. I wish I could have taken it at sunrise, when the angle of the sun would have given much better deffinition to each of the leaves.

    I like Reflection and Shadow, nice compo and colour/contrast. Btw the Bamboo is actually not bamboo. Just my opinion but I dont really like the contrast of Ivy and Texture. Cacti is a bit underexposed and undercontrast. Curl is too suble and lastly I woud re-crop Leaves so the green is bit more towards the centre, it's a bit distracting where it is.

    Primary kit:
    Fuji S5 Pro - Nikkor AF 50/1.8 - Nikkor AF 85/1.8
    Epson RD-1

    Film Kit:
    Leica M3 - Summicron 50/2 DR - Zeiss ZM 25/2.8 - M-Rokkor 40/2

    Olympus OM2n - Zuiko 50/2 Macro - Zuiko 50/1.4 - Zuiko 35/2.8

    Touch and Bamboo are very 'National Geographic'!. I like Shadow, but ditto Hans, I'd certainly crop Ivy. Cacti I'd tweak the levels just a tad.

    Texture, Shadow, Grid, Light, all very nicely done. I am a fan of symmetry in photography, and more than a couple of these really appeal. Keep it up.
