Not exactly "recent", but, since this whole forum is new, I'd like to start a thread to gather my past works under similar concepts.

Thank, Jakov.  I love #2, too, probably one of the best I shot with Panny G1.  :)

I like these, especially #10 ... but I might boost the contrast just a ted in #10... give it a little more pop. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice series, I especially like no 7 and no 10. I hope there will be more to come?
