This monthly topic serves as a place for forum members to share recent work with our Leica cameras. It's OK for Leica owners to dazzle us with images made with other cameras, but the idea is to allow owners with similar cameras to compare notes, chops, and sensibilities.Using Threaded View helps to keep each person's contribution and responses linked in a tree-like structure so replies/discussions are easier to follow.To begin:If you especially want C&C (criticism/critique) or technique feedback, say so. It’s assumed one does want such feedback, but direct requests may garner a more studied analysis/response. If you don't want such feedback, say so, and others will respect your wishes.If you feel you've been ignored, select your post, reply to it with a brief note to the effect of "Can I get some feedback?". Not getting feedback on a post isn't uncommon, so don't feel offended - no one is charged to ensure all posts get attention (we're not organized enough for that). If you want particular feedback (composition, exposure choice, etc.), saying so can be helpful for the potential respondents as to what your needs may be.It is courteous and advisable that, should you post images for feedback, you also make comment on at least one other contribution. Respectful acknowledgment of everyone is the goal, and it’s requested that all participants assume some responsibility to that end.Sometimes people illustrate suggestions by re-editing images that you post here and reposting them in this thread. If you don't want that done, please say so. Otherwise, we'll all assume that's OK with you. Of course, it is never OK for anyone to take your images, edited or not, and repost them elsewhere.

I don't normally take landscapes. It doesn't come easily for me. This is a pond behind a condo development near my house.

I'll try again and position myself more to the right.And, I've looked at your images - I think your signature is wrong; you have already taken many wonderful images!!!Thank you. Thats very kind. My signature is a little "tongue in cheek".

It has been a dreary winter, bright sun after a snow was lovely.CL 23 Summicron

Absolutely adore your composition for suavely juxtaposed beautiful morning light.(one of my dream hopefuls albeit limited skill & East Coast NSW).I am wondering whether the motor-boat had been allowed intentionally here?

Among other bigger things, I admire the black intersection point from masts' shadows spot on the last speckle of light - howzat?! - guessing that's what them call pure magic..I'd love to print this picture if it's okay with you..

The Big Bend area is the home of all sorts of fishing from Cedar Key around West to Mexico Beach for commercial oysters, clams, red fish, to recreational fishing.  This was at the dock where botas are showing up in mass to get into the water and take their customers out or commercial clammers showing up to get their boats in.The boat was one of the fishing boats that had just put in and was headed out.  I waited  until he crossed the line to the anchored sailboat and was lucky enough to catch the bird in the water in the lower right corner.Thanks for looking.

Awesome pictures!

I will periodically take a walk around my neighborhood for my health. I always take a camera with me. There are a number of different tree stumps along the route I take. Here is one from today.

A grey day but that's what the Q2M's for!

Amazing

Thanks!
