Love the design and texture of the leaf. I might have cropped just a bit more from the bottom, but that's my taste. Wonderful shades.

I think I like this view the best - just a little simpler than the others. The colors are beautiful, Shez.

I'm starting to get really jealous that you have such amazing skies day after day and such incredible landscapes. I'm moving to England! Well, you still have to do this great job of photographing them day after day, too. It must be such a chore!

She looks like she is having so much fun. My eye is drawn right to her face because of your great processing, and her expression is contagious.

Day 9 - Baby Pine Cones

This works so well on so many levels! Wonderful contrast and tonality. The soft focus from the slight motion of the branch is quite appealing - especially when combined with the background bokeh which is even softer. And, even with the softness, the detail is amazing. The diagonal flow from left to right keeps my eye moving through the frame. Very well seen and photographed, Amanda.

The detail and the lighting make this work so well. You filled the frame nicely with your subject.

Nice capture, Sandy. Majestic is certainly the word for this. They are incredible animals.

Very inventive shot that really works well. Without the background it would be just another chain link fence, but having the shadows so close creates great interest. Good contrast and tonality.

That eye! It's aglow. Wonderful close up with great detail and focus. Love the crop, though might have taken another inch off the bottom.

Are those pelicans? Big birds, anyway. They look so serene and unconcerned.
