Mamiya C330! Such a great camera...I love mine! It has been a long time since I have actual taken the thing out of my camera bag, this makes me want to bust it out and shoot some film. Beautiful light and I really like the warm color range/tones. Really nice.

I guess there was no more bird food to be had? : ) They're such the little piglets but I do love watching them!

Escher's Apple

Super duper creative! This is just fantastic! What I love about this image is that it DEMANDS a closer look, it absolutely requires it...and those who do not want to give the image some time will simply miss out. The B & W is very effective, makes the image more "challenging"...wouldn't be the same in color...the light is also nice... dim, ( in a good way ) simple and also very effective... very well done. 10

Red and Black

This is just so juicy...no pun intended, or maybe it was. The light is so ethereal and the shine on the apples is divine. I would have loved to have seen this with more black above the sea of apples, a more squarish, "normal" canvas size with the apples in the bottom 1/3 or so...I just find this sort of long, squat cropping somewhat disconcerting and un-natural. I think maybe more black "breathing room" above would have made the apples "pop" even more than they do now...they are absolutely gorgeous.

imperfect beauty

A beautiful lush image...distracting title...what here is imperfect? The wall behind the still life? For me that wall just adds character and interest..."perfection" is boring at times...what is perfection anyway? Sometimes I think "perfection" is in the eye of the beholder just as "beauty" is. For me, this is perfectly beautiful. : )

Looks like strawberry but still an apple
by cimarron98

Comment:
The apple looks like it's made of black patent leather...really cool! The title is odd for me...doesn't look like a strawberry at all, esp. with the label stating Red Delicious. There also seems to be alot of sharpening/compression noise going on? This image did catch my eye...it's that deep beautiful shiny black that did it.

Hi Gurry,

I just love this picture, I feel as though I can just reach out and touch that lovely soft fur...and such an intense stare! I have 2 black cats and a new little pretty gray one who looks as though she went stepping through some white paint with her 2 back feet...cat's are such a joy aren't they? : }

Smoky Mountains

They're so pretty when you can actually see them... they start "disappearing" right around this time of year and only pop back when you get a nice windy cool front to clean all the haze away... I often feel bad for the people who come to the mountains during the warm season, many think that's how the mountains look all year, they never get to see them how they are the other times of year...beautiful colors.

Scent of a Lily

I'm not usually a huge fan of flower pictures, mainly because I have a ton of them outside to look at...but you've hit my sweet spot with this one! I am a total Oriental Lily freak! I feel like I can smell it myself...I wish they would hurry up and bloom outside already! Beautiful light and texture, I really do feel like I can reach out and touch that gorgeous lily.
