I prefer this one. Would make a good caption competition!Another view of the gecko.

Hello what's going on over there then?
under the bridge again ... fun with 14mm
GEICO Insurance uses a little green gecko with a great British voice done by Jake Wood. Their adverts are everywhere here in the US.
Lunchtime today with the godson. The B&W JEPGS are pretty nice from the M9.

'Scuse me for appearing rude, but there's a strange green blob on the sand
Sunset by the sea.
Did you mean to leave it in the photo?
Cheers

I'm guessing that green spot is a lens flare? I'd clone it out and brighten up the image a tad.

How's the trip going? Did you get snow?

see below 
, I know you know that we both know what that blob is. 
I just kept it to make it look a bit natural. You think removing it will look better?
The trip was awesome. I’m back to London now. Yeah got some snow on 2 days. Some of the beautiful views were only for the eyes because I was on the A1. ♂️
I'd take it out personally.see below

Great scenery whilst driving? That's pretty standard! You can't pull over in the hard shoulder and set up a tripod!

I don't normally do this and will take it down if it offends you, but here is my take. I think you tried to pull the highlights back a bit too much so the white point is missing. Could do more with a RAW file and if I had better skills!

awesome 
loving it 
Glad I didn't offend.Wowawesome
loving it
The only other thing I tried to fix was the fact that the horizon is pretty central. But I couldn't with the placement of the sun. Just something to think about for next time. Rule of thirds and all that.
Not at all. I don’t get offended for tiny things like that. Always happy to learn and improve.
When I look at some of my early stuff, it's shocking. I'm not sure how long you've been doing photography, but we all have stuff to learn.
I mostly need to learn to get out more!
Another hour and a half later. The Dragonflies body has its full colours now, and the legs are nearly all black. The wings on the left have separated, but the pair on the right have stuck together again. The Dragonfly is repeatedly testing out its new wings with rapid flaps quite frequently. It's about 80mm long now, which is quite the transformation considering it was only 30mm long when it first emerged a couple of hours ago!

Meet my new friend Joske, living in a countryside farm.
They are lovely. Best served in a sesame seed bun!

Where is Santa? by Lance Randall, on Flickr
The excitement of the kids (and more than a few adults) was real when Santa flew in on an helicopter and landed on the beach. The fact that he gave out real gifts just added to the excitement level.

Another awesome sunset.
Nice. Like AFB mentioned earlier - watch your horizons. Try to ensure that you keep them level or fix them in post.
Hey photog pals! It's been a minute. I have been crazy w/ work (as usual). Anyway, am on holiday in Barcelona and wanted to share. This was #ShotOniPhone, haha. A little Snapseed post work as well. A little more than I usually do, if I'm being honest. I still like the framing but may scale it back a bit on the sharpening.
