Wow, how interesting, I love it all I would also enjoy seeing it in b&w, I think ;)

@Lorraine: I agree. B/W might work well too. Just playing around with colors here. It reminded me of a super realistic painting I once saw. Thanks, Lorraine.

Luis A. De Jesus R. from Mexico City, Mexico
Very nice work. Vivacious color, yet I am tempted to visualize it in bw. I guess it's the feeling of a timeless moment.

@Luis A. De Jesus R.: Yes, b/w could also be effective. Many thanks, Luis.
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Il faut souvent de la patience pour les voir, mais le spectacle est à la hauteur (j'ai eu cet immense plaisir au large de Ténériffe) mais c'est difficile de les photographier... as-tu réussi ?

@Evelyne Dubos: Non. Les animaux étaient trop lointains. merci, Evelyne.
