    Caladina two good images, the first is an accurate vision of the subject and the second, despite the cover, is very clear.

    Thumbnail, good images; the first thanks to the color highlights the main theme, and the second forms an interesting diagonal, the structure and the seats.

    Ohm, nice photo of the robin and the second image is impressive, as it leads us to the center with the pineapples.

    CPS2023, Welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoy. The image of the Magnolio flower is very nice and well resolved, and thanks to Ohm's explanation, we find out that they are those little sticks similar to mini-matches.

    Before close of play in this months challenge here is my image that is typical of the all-pervading evidence of 'Signs of Life' on this planet.
