Couple photos that were a lot of fun to take.
'Sweet Sound'. Was vacuuming up 100s & 1000s for weeks after that one.

This local former bank has been turned into a KFC and is nearly ready to open. While I don't eat fast food anymore, I think it's one of the most inique and cool looking KFCs around!
Definitely unique. Been awhile since I’ve had KFC.
This is one of my personal favorites...

The church above the Mediterranean Sea, in SPAIN...
Long time ago, 500+ years, there was a village around the church, there are remains of the houses all around.
people year after year stole the stones, same in France... what a shame !

Did my best for this portrait:
Gear:
Olympus OM-D EM-5 Mark III
M. Zuiko 75mm/F1.8 Prime lens
Olympus Fl-700 WR flash
Cheap UV filter Hama
I used to be a reporter so i carry 2kg of gear max. No studio gear, main lenses and flash have to be water, freeze, dust and riotproof. UV filter is to protect lenses from dust, or idiots with markers, eggs, whatever you throw at reporters.
Setup:
ISO 64, 1/2000s, F1.8, fill flash in FP TTL mode.
The goal was to add reflections to her eyes and hair, while make the foreground/background separation with both bokeh and darkened background by approximately 1 EV step.
Post process:
-0,2EV
Vivid picture mode
Aside from making a nice portrait, I just wanted to put to a test the claim that M43 system cannot make nice creamy bokeh.
Is there anything that could be done better in terms of technique? I am running out of ideas how to improve my work

To me that needs to be brighter. Not exposure increase because that will blow out the sunlit highlights. But I’d be turning up the mid tones or brightness slider.

My favourite and extremely strong camera, after rolling off a quad bike in the jungle in Bali. It's quite popular with journo's. The case has a metal plate, useful as the crash ripped through the leather. I was quite badly hurt, all the camera needed was a new lens cap. Fabulous 28/f1.7 lens and brilliant electronics from Panasonic. It was only a few months old at the time, but I had it 5 years until succumbing to upgrading to a 50mp dust-proof and water-resistant version, although this one went all over the place and never suffered from either. Depreciation over 5 years was £900 (cost £2,900, sod for £2,000).
This would look right at home on a OSX desktop. One very strikingly nice photo. Something I would expect to be in National Geographic.
Could be a cover of some novel. This photo seems to want to tell a story. Kind of draws me in.
I really like Leicas, but one camera with one lens for around 3000 dollars... My set of body, two zooms, one backup/portrait 25mm prime and flash costs 4100... It would probably not survive a carcrash. But... my 25mm prime is Lumix DG Summilux, and second backup zoom is Lumix DG Vario-Elmarit. Both manufactured by Panasonic, but under supervision of Leica management. Later i found out that M43 format was designed by Leica...

In the Loathecliff garden.
Leica has very low cost of ownership. Most of mine is worth more than I paid for them. My stock lens is a 50/f1.4 Lux, cost me £2,000 about 8 or 10 years ago, they sell now for about £2,400. But the Q, and now the Q2, are just fabulous for image quality, software/practicality, low weight and very low depreciation.
Two common desktop locations - Antelope Canyon in Arizona and Deadvlei in Namibia. They turn up all the time.
Iceland turns up on loads of screensavers, here's one of my favourites, but there are so many amazing places I lose count.

The bokeh is done by the lens, and the 75/1.8 Oly is not only the sharpest MFT lens but also has a very nice bokeh.
I second @tonycollinet's answer. And I would cut of the white stuff on the left side.Is there anything that could be done better in terms of technique? I am running out of ideas how to improve my work
I've used mainly 50mm for the last 35 odd years. The lenses used below cost between $100 and $3,000 on the used market. I think everyone has their favourites for how they image, sharpness, broken, vignetting etc.. The older Zuiko weren't that sharp, but the OM cameras were very good. The Nikon below was on an FM2N, popular with reporters, especially war reporters, as it was indestructible, but incredibly noisy.
This Zeiss Biogon 50/f2 has particularly nice bokeh. If you want sharp for Sony or Leica at a good price, these are the ones, especially the 21/f2.8.
On film:
1985 Olympus Zuiko 50/1.8.
A 1980 Nikon AIS 50/f1.8. One of their best ever lenses.
A 1935 Leica 50/f3.5
On digital :
A 1957 Leica 50/f2 Rigid - possibly my favourite lens.
Current version of Leica 50/f1.4
