What a great image and I am glad you persevered till you got our attention

OK not only do you have the obvious contrast between the live trees and the decaying wood of the building, but you also have the wonderful framing of the trees

I guess the thing that really appeals though is that because the window is so dirty it has a real matt look to it which makes it almost appear as if the trees are painted on. I looks like an extract of a very old oil painting which has been revelaed during renovation

Well I can see a dichotomy there, and more importantly I can also see a very nice shot

Sub 5???? I dont think so

Another great shot of one of your children (I cant believe your scrapbook is not up to date!!!)

A wonderful story, and I have the feeling that when Kristi is 20 you are still going to always use the word washmelons to her when talking about marshmallows

Great story super image

How strange that we both went for the 'eyes wide shut' baseball children

A shot that you must adore (the tongue coming out in concentration and effort is sublime)

Cool image

Innocent Beauty -- In Her Harsh Grungy World

Another fantastic portrait Sandy, my only possible 'complaint' was that this looked so perfect I had assumed that it had been set up with props in a studio

Very haunting expression on the girls face (almost a dichotomy in itself)

Great job, as ever

Ahhhh the beauty of aliteration!!!

Many congratulations on the top 20 finish and also on a lovely shot. Given that you finished where you did and I finished where I did it seems a bit odd to be making comments on how this (excellent) image might have been improved but I wonder it you had cropped the boat out whether it would have been even more impactful

Glorious colours and image

day 15 - birds

Yo-Yo, the blackbirds are in the 'hood...Although if they were really that tough then they would surely come out in the dark rather than go home!

I have to say I am a massive fan of negative space shots and this is a classic, especially since you have got so many blackbirds on the line which contrasts wonderfully

Very cool and slightly eerie

Absolutely stunning shot, I thought it would have been hard to improve on the fantastic original, but you have, but remember...

The sun never sets on Chuck Norris, he just pulls the horizon up

I can tell you that Hunter was bang on going to hide in the field...I'm 44 but still couldnt have resisted it

Lovely abstract and slightly weird shot. I like it a lot
