When a kitten joins the family it's important they socialize with all kind of exotic lenses  :)

I guess this is a 'No'

Cute - and an old saying: "curiosity killed the cat".

Somehow I don't think that cat slobber/saliva is an ideal lens cleaner, but your mileage may differ.   ;D

Light layers.

Wow. That is a visionary picture IMO. I cannot even say exactly what it is, it makes it even more interesting....

The "local" river at my new location has a lot of photo opportunities to offer. There are several run-of-river hydroelectric power stations nearby, and of course a visit there is deemed mandatory for a newcomer to the district.
This is Rånåsfoss, once upon a time believed sufficient for the electricity supply for the city of Oslo. Now it probably just generates sufficient power to charge all the computers and mobile devices found there :)

This extreme edit has some 1970ies postcard flair to it. strong emotional.

irD5300, afs18-140mm f/3.5~5.6vr

disturbingly surreal. The Porsche types seem quite generic / stereotypical to me, the whole scene like another planet after a nuclear war. I was sick in bed for a while...

Franks been making a point to ignore contributions, not that we care but it is bit numsy minded considering the big picture what NG  is about ;D

In the beginnig I was not shy to say "shitty picture" if I thought so. Then admins told me to stop that because "it was not what NG is about".

We are not against criticism on NG, not at all. However, negative comment carry most weight if the reasoning behind them is elaborated. A comment like "shitty picture" is equally worthless as "good picture" -- the information content is zero.
