Oh definitely no seriousness intended, just a nod towards his Halo affinity esp at whale.

I was wondering about the bokeh on this one. A macro lens isn't in my toolkit but it makes me wonder what it'd look like with a sunlight type of background and those rather distinct shapes? At f/4 it looks like it fit in more detail than I'd expect, even at 43mm. Thanks for sharing. Here's an early attempt at a "drip" shot without a macro lens and some frozen fingers. A bit odd on composition perhaps?

I like it. For some reason the composition with the newspaper in the foreground, non-staged coloring on the body/lens, and the bokeh.. it tells a story like all good photos should. Khufu (Great) and Khafre Pyramids, Giza, Egypt. Re-edit from Summer 2017

Frankly, this photo could be better. It's out of focus, underexposed, grainy, and the only thing even slightly going for it is mediocre bokeh. The composition centers it instead of any "rule of thirds" or "Fibonacci" technique. Very uninteresting.

I have to like anyone who rocks a Pentax, but that aside I have some positive and constructive comments. The constructive are that the blacks seem a bit at the extreme end, perhaps obfuscating some detail that might otherwise add to the photo. Overall, it seems a bit underexposed - though if you were going for a moody/bleak kind of look it would certainly fit. What I like is the composition where the broken tree is in front of the straight one. It's almost like if one path becomes unavailable, there's another way. Thanks for sharing! My photo below is of Western Norway shot with a Canon 6D and 16-35 f/2.8L lens. The goal was to try to capture the look of multiple seasons in one shot while anchoring with a foreground shot of the curious shed and blue door.
