Bravo olivier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Il est bizarre de voir sont noms dans une liste alors que l'on ne fais pas de photos  :question: :question: :question:  :-\ :-\

T'es trop fort Sam !

[color=red]J'édite : Erreur de nos amis bulgares, Laurent avait envoyé des photos en ayant indiqué la provenance des poissons. Il y a donc eu un petit malentendu sur l'auteur de certaines photos lors de leur enregistrement.

Erreur corrigée par Hristo.[/color]

Bravo en tout cas, très jolies photos

Pas mal ces photos ! Bravo à olivier !

J'aime bien la 2e photo en action.

Encore de très belles choses ! Bravo Olivier.
Je sais pas qui t'a fournit les poissons, mais ils sont très beaux  :angel:


je veux surtout pas critiquer alors que je serai pas capable de faire la moitié de ça, mais y'aurait pas quelques couleurs un peu trop flashy pour être honnête dans certaines photos ? La retouche ne me gêne pas, mais là c'est fluo  ???

Si tu parles du chroma, je suis d'accord avec toi. Toutes les autres méritent leur place en tout cas.

Pour le Chroma, c'est clair que son propriétaire a quelque peu abusé, et mal, de son logiciel de retouche  :D

Pareil que toi Sam, je n'ai pas envoyé de photos non plus que je me retrouve dans la liste des participant  ???

Sinon, un grand bravo à Olivier :)
