A university building shot from back. I wonder all the time why newly-weds make shots of themselves at this building on the wedding day. Will never do it myself :)

Food? You are fooling me!
My Lord forgive me! I transgressed. I was fooling this beautiful creature to make a shot of him nothing giving him back. Promise to feed these guys with nuts next time I meet them.
Autumn forest
The Carpathians, December 2008. An old photograph I decided to process in PS. Strengthen colors and added an aura from the sky to make it look overexposed.
Lonely bride
A bride had a photo session on a horse while her bridegroom was walking with a bike. She was galloping along the beach back and force so many times so I did not stand it and made a couple of shots. :)
The sky was empty. A complete nothing. So I replaced it with someones' :) Noise reduction, removed junk, more contrast, levels, curves, burn and dodge...

Freeze!
I really like this shot (among the others), but unfortunately I was too careless of zoom so the dolphin cut from top, like the men' heads :(
House-Wall
This house makes an impression that it is just a front wall and there is nothing behind it. The effect is just a visual illusion caused by an empty space to the left from the house and left side wall which goes 45 degrees, not 90 as usual. You can trust me - the house is inhabited :) The old lady to the right was watching me all the time while I was making shots (despite it took me 15 minutes or so, to get as many as possible to choose the best one) but said nothing eventually :)
Orange which saved Odessa
The monument to Orange was opened in Odessa September 2, 2004 in the City Day. The orange has skin removed from one half and stretched out a few slices.
Russian Emperor Pavel status I is inserted in place of the removed segments.
Orange installed on the wheel of the cart symbolizes the transportation of oranges from Odessa to St. Petersburg.
Historical information:
After the accession of Emperor Pavel I in 1725 funding of the Odessa port construction has been suspended. The expedition was abandoned, Vice admiral de Ribas revoked for "carpet" to St. Petersburg, the engineer de Volan dismissed. The port was not completed, trade, able to feed Odessa, did not arise, By 1800, the city was in depression. Realizing that all the misfortunes the city is rooted in an unfinished port, members of the city magistrate gathered January 9th, 1800 to the meeting, where they decided to ask the Emperor for 25 year loan for the city of 250 000 rubles, to complete construction of the port. Magistrate without hopes to favor the emperor, turned for help to the director of the Odessa Customs Kiryanov M.M who spent the winter in St. Petersburg. And perhaps, on his advice the Magistrate at its meeting decides to prevent local merchants accessing orange fruits when they arrive in the port. Instead the best 3000 items should be selected and sent to the Imperial court. Fresh fruits were delivered to the capital at an extraordinary speed - February 8 carts came from Odessa, and February 26 the Emperor Pavel I signed a rescript saying that he appreciates signs of efforts of the Odessa Mayor and people, and starting from this point a new period of Odessa's life and growth began.
The monument was cast in Kiev. It took on about a ton of bronze.
