roz, you have such a wonderful way of bringing your subjects out. Elle and Katee just pop out of this like nothing else is on the page, and yet there's a whole world behind them telling the story of their lives. Great 'slice of life' shot.

Boy, you have found a gold mine in that wall, and you are using it to your best advantage. I like how you've framed this with half a window on each side, the light/shadow above and that ubiquitous red line below. The three walkers are perfectly posed as one object, but the detail on each allows us to see them as individuals. There's a story here. Well done.

This would be a perfect entry for the Panning challenge if you can make it work in basic. The detail on the egret is astounding. Wonderful color and contrast, and he really stands out against that background.

This is a great shot of the canyon, Ashley. You did a good job remembering the rule thirds, and your sky has some nice drama going on. Beautiful colors front to back, and you caught the light just right. The closest foreground isn't quite in focus, though. Were you using a tripod? Or perhaps you needed a higher f stop. Otherwise, a classic shot.

Doesn't that make you just want to spit! Or, you think your backup battery is charged, so you head out without checking and when you get an hour away from home and start your pictures...guessssss whaaat!

Love these pictures of Lucy. How'd you get her to snarl on command? And, I've never seen a dog look so apologetic. Great job.

Day 07 - Amaryllis

Very nice lighting on this, and, yes, still a beautiful flower. It seems to pop off the page against that black background.

Wonderful leading lines. Makes me want to walk right into that picture and off into the woods.

That's really admirable that you work with kids like this. My wife and I are seriously considering the Peace Corp when we retire. It's a way of giving back for all the wonderful life we have recieved. I suspect you are feeling the same way. It's inspriring that you are touching lives.
