Jarvo from Southend, United Kingdom

Fantastic pictures Mariana. This one especailly because it looks so wide and open. Love the sky, you always were brilliant at capturing that. I loved the dragonfly too. That was a nice surprise, buecause I don't normally think of you as a macro person and here you are showing us another side to your skills. I'm impressed with the new blog. The size of your images really makes your work shine. All the best, J.
