Love the depth you captured in that magnificent cloud formation.

It's interesting - sure looks like you got a kick out of it (good for you). It is a vase...I actually picked it up at TJMaxx believe it or not. Sometimes they get some really cool stuff. I did get a kick out of this for sure.

Bet it looks 'unique' full of flowers. And ah, that is the tv (was trying to work it out).. going to look at the 'giffy' now.

Amazing color intensity - the angle makes it appear like luminescent green chimney smoke (minus the chimney). Curious about the 'sparkling' somethings in the foreground snow(?).

The Way Home

Didn't get to this one during voting, but it is amazing, as are all the shots I see on DPC of the Aurora Borealis, especially yours. I really like that dead straight line you've included in this and the way the aurora is fanning across that incredible starry night sky. Thank you for sharing these images and good to hear you never tire of them. An image of this is one thing but to see this in person, especially the first time, must be literally breathtaking. In imagining being there, I wonder --- just how cold is it out there in the middle of the night?

Excellent clarity. What a good use for a tripod - perfect fit.

I gave this a 6. Colors are beautiful - I see you dropped the saturation - bet you were amazed you had to do that. From what I recall, I think the shallow dof wasn't 'working' as much I envisioned in this Challenge (hence the score).

"I got exactly one group shot of the dogs. You did well then. Almost got them all looking at the camera. That's a challenge.

I didn't vote on this Challenge, but just wanted to acknowledge and say 'thank you' (albeit a little late) for using my 'name'. Nice view of this cactus flower - some of them have a glorious perfume. Beautiful and intricate flowers.

Interesting image. Never seen a farmhouse situated right in the middle of a fully irrigated crop. The green is rich. I'm sure there is a scientific explanation for the halo, but I can't explain it without 'research'.
