Your 7-super-shots are amazing. I can’t decide which I like best because they are all beautifully photographed. I am humbled that you have selected me to participate. I will try and choose my seven shots, none though compared to yours. Thanks again.

Amazing. Fantastic collection and though there are a couple of contenders, I think on balance, the tall ships deserves to be number one. My lasting impression though, is of the light you’ve captured – particularly on the ship’s sail, and that glorious liquid air in the Venice shot. Bravo!

I was admiring you seven super shots, all enticing for a travel blog. My jaw dropped a little when I saw my blog listed. Your shots are the “around the world in 80 days” photos that I see in Afar mag or Rick Steeves Europe. But, I’ll try–umm. Favorites are the fairy tale castle in Germany, the ochre-colored buildings along the canal in Italy and the stark beauty of Santorini.

“frizztext” = that’s a team: my wife Barbara, a professional photographer (she shot no. 4, the green liquid street in Venice) and me, frizz, blogger: I shot the six other pictures.
P.S.:
the problem of this theme is: if “hostelbookers” (see above) focus on 7 super shots, the topic is infected by glamour and travelling. For me “super shots” are anti-glamorous, let me introduce some examples, this time from other photographers:
~
1 – Thomas Lieser, Vienna
~
2 – Valery Titievsky, Novosibirsk
~
3 – Marc Lamote, Brussels
~
4 – Michael Hawley, Vancouver

5 РH̩l̬ne Desplechin, Madrid

6 – Vittorio Pandolfi, Naples

7 – Christine Lebrasseur, Bordeaux

They always say that what the camera can capture is unique to that moment only..as a team you both have been able to give us the chance in your blog to witness such beauty.

for example: we stood side by side on a small bridge in Venice; my wife Barbara with her LUMIX avoided too much light and composed the green version
me, standing 1 meter beside her with my canon pocket camera, I was too much electrified by the light vs. the camera lense and made the silver-version in the same moment:

This is a cool “award”. I haven’t been much into awards, but for this one I’ll make an exception.
Thanks for the nomination, and yes: I do accept this award!
I’ll carefully consider some photos to post for this 7-super shots.
Of these photos, the ones I like best is 1, 4, 5 and 6 – in the same order as you’ve presented them, but I think you should have added your photo of a woman walking down the stairs.
