Complimenti per le tue foto di fiori. Hai saputo rendere anche la loro fragilità; mi sembrava di sentirne persino il profumo in una vera esplosione di primavera! Sono le tue foto che preferisco. Ciao da Simonetta, Roma.

Hi Ruggero,your recent visit to my albums on flowers(of course) had me looking at your "Spring is Here" album again and I found how similar some of our photos are. The pink lily close-up-#73-is close to mine in "Flower Visions-My way" #5 called Fresh Opening! I guess nature lovers will try many different angles until they find one that pleases them! *Have a nice day and keep on smiling!***Angele***

Anche se il momento è triste e poco propenso ai festeggiamenti mi congratulo e sono contento che finalmente si siano accorti delle tue immagini da maestro. Trovo assolutamente appropriato il tuo invito alla visita all'album del caro Maurizio... Congratulazioni! non commento le immagini perchè farei torto alla loro grande bellezza e fragranza...

Ciao Ruggero! Thank you for your nice words in my garden album - they mean very much to me. I tried to copy your cover photo, but my primroses were not as nice as Gianna's, and my macro was not as sharp as yours, so that one went into the bit bucket! I still have much to learn from the macro expertise of people like you and Kathy, but I am trying. With great affection, Beth

said bvillanyi 2005.03.29 at 08:29:23 PST

Caro Ruggero, di ritorno appena adesso dopo una settimana di viaggio, sono in ritardo a farti i più sinceri complimenti e a condividere con te la gioia per la tua feature. Come sempre riesci a sorprendere tutta la Webshots Family con una collezione assolutamente eccezionale. Questa è una delle piu belle serie di fiori che abbia mai visto. Mi metti la voglia di provare a fare qualcosa del genere ma vedendo cosa sei riuscito a fare tu non oso neanche... e poi qui da noi di fiori non ce ne sono quasi ancora. Scegliere le foto preferite è stato difficilissimo - e mi sembra quasi offendere tutte le altre. Mi permetto comunque di citarne alcune: 21 / 35 / 38 / 39 / 40 / 47 / 59. Delle pure meraviglie! Con tutta la WS community attendo impazientemente la tua prossima collezione. Per ora Buona Pasqua e tanti saluti! Cordialmenet, Mike

Anch'io ho la passione del vino, ma il Passito di Pantelleria non si vende in Olanda; e poi: bevo anche una birra qualche volta, quando sei seduto nel sole da solo en molto rinfrescante. Non sapevo che sei sommelier. Un mestiere molto rinfrescante anche questo. Vado 'riparare' i miei peccati vinosi dopo giovedi prossima, quando partiremo col camper direzione Sicilia, per un mese... E perche che sto leggendo le 'Opere' di Sciascia. Sono anche tifoso di Andrea Camilleri e del commissario Montalbano, pirsonalmente di pirsona...

GRANDE RUGGERO! Il tuo tempismo nel pubblicare questo fantastico album e' stato tempestivamente riconosciuto da WS, che stavolta ha pescato un jolly dal mazzo. Ben venga la feature sulla gioiosa esplosione di colori con i quali hai piacevolmente colpito l'intera community. I miei tempi di reazione nel commentare i tuoi album sono sovente molto lunghi, ma stavolta sono "costretto&q uot; dalla circostanza a scriverti ora qualche mio appunto. Le foto sono tutte perfette, con il massimo risultato possibile, ottenuto in condizioni di luce spesso appena sufficienti. Lo si vede dagli sfondi scuri, le zone ombrose intorno ai fiori e la mancanza di contrasti tra luce e ombra, presenti solo in poche immagini come l'eccezionale 005. Le macro estreme sono ancora piu' difficili per l'inevitabile zona scura creata dalla vicinanza dell'obiettivo. Quindi il tuo lavoro e' superlativo, sia nella accurata composizione dello scatto che in tempi successivi (opportuni ritocchi software). Mai come stavolta trovo difficile selezionare gli scatti che preferisco, ma mi piace individuarne alcuni abbastanza simili a certe mie foto (vedi mio album Framed Natural Colors): 066 e 067 sono all'interno della calla, mentre 046, 048, 050 sono macro esasperate del cuore di un tulipano: idee comuni che abbiamo prima pensate e poi realizzate (ovviamente con risultati differenti a tuo favore). Ma la foto indiscutibilmente super e' la 055 per varieta' di sfumature e colori, l'apparente trasparenza dei petali che fa risaltare la zona centrale perfettamente a fuoco. Ti rivolgo i miei complimenti per questo successo che sicuramente ti e' gradito, come credo sia grande la tua gioia nel poter condividere nel modo più largo possibile i tuoi mirabili lavori, frutto di grande passione e immutato impegno. Con amicizia ed AMMIRAZIONE, Luca.

WOWIIIIIII!!!!!! Hurray! I knew this one was destined for greatness from the start. Is it true? Your birthday is Friday? How perfect! A whole week to celecbrate is my minimum and this is a great way to start it off. Some features are puzzling and difficult to understand why they were chosen. This one only makes me ask - why did they wait so long? It's been out there adorning our screens for 2 whole days already - were they sleeping yesterday??!! Complimenti e tante auguri, amico mio, E buonissimo compleanno a te. Con l'affetto, Beth

Ciao Maestro, I should like to speak Italian to express with appropriate words my total dazzling; My God, what a treasure! I could perhaps say that my chosen master pieces, not for the technical performance which is present in the whole album, but for my artistic taste should be 22, 25, 33, 55, 62 but 2, 3, 6, 11, 16, 26, 42, 51 & 66 are also exquisite pictures; What new wonder are you preparing now??? It will be always welcomed, Jacques

Ciao Ruggero. Che stupendo album hai realizzato! Finalmente un po’ di colori di primavera. Accantoniamo la tristezza dell’inverno e rituffiamoci nei caldi colori delle belle stagioni. Le tue fotografie mi hanno veramente impressionato, dei colori stupendi, delle inquadrature perfette. Bravo, anzi bravissimo. Un caro e amichevole saluto. Renato

Hi Ruggero! Stunning album filled with such beauty! The colors are just beautiful. Your macros are so crystal clear! My favorite is #65..fantastic shot with such delicate, beautiful colors! You have captured the essence of spring through your lense! Thanks for sharing Gianna's beautiful garden with us all..take care..Darlene

said briansbabe2 2005.03.21 at 05:46:12 PST

Non avendo l'occasione di fotografare i fiori "wild" delle tue montagne, non hai saputo resistere allo sbocciare della primavera e sei andato a fotografare quelli della Gianna. I migliori complimenti a tutti e due! Lei ha dei fiori spettacolari. Le tue foto non sono da meno. Ovviamente i commenti piu' appropriati li faranno le signore per le quali tutti i fiori sono ideale omaggio. Per gusto personale preferisco i tulipani. Mi piaciono molto i colori della unidici e dell'ultima. Ale :-) Ciao!

said carioni 2005.03.21 at 04:53:09 PST

Ruggero, una cosa molto differente del tuo lavoro fino adesso. Ma sono convinto che non vuol dire che hai fotografato tutto questo nell'ultima settimana! Perche prima c'era solo neve, penso... Tuttavia, sono belli.

said sante1 2005.03.21 at 03:30:54 PST

Ruggero, maestro del colore e la purissima belleza ( sorry for my wrong Italian) meanwhile Caterina was writing in your guest book I was going through your album several times in slide show and was marking the most beautiful shots for me, but it is impossible there are so many wonders ...I must say that # 38 and then 43 are unbelievable, then 57, 60, 63,8,15,16, should I write down the whole album ? My friend I salute you as always this is a glorious celebration of spring and you are the author of my purest joy and happiness today.Thank you/kathy

Wow, amico mio, you are quick this time. Only 2 days ago you said it was still winter and now you come up with this spring album! (Now I understand why you don't have any time to reply to emails!! ;-)) Your album is a GRAND job! Once again your photos all manage to amaze in their irresistible beauty. Even though some of the flowers are familar, it looks like a secret world revealed here, because you have managed to capture beauty that it beyond what most of us usually see. I enjoyed all photos tremendously. My favorites are the macros looking inside a tulip. Irresistible, have I said already? Keep enjoying the spring, and you are allowed to publish your albums more frequently, you are not boring anyone. Un grand abbraccio!!
