Ha ha ha and Ha! Good show by the animal, and perfect capture! Tech is fine. Thanks for a smile.
My impulse thought was " Photog was great, but that darn Canon/Nikon (take your pick) was crunchy"

A saturated speck. Artsy, not too complex, and nice.

Congrats on another of your usual "Ooh and Ahh" type images! It was very fortunate that the air and water were still for this shot.
My first thought when it came up was "rocket's red glare," but that's the wrong holiday.

Woodland Friendship

The moment of trust. Beautiful with the horse all damp, and the flowers in the background. Light was just right. Focus is right on. The only way I see to improve the original capture would be to open up a stop and have a little less DOF to soften up the trees in the back. Looks good just as it is to me.
Good title too.

Very close up looking and clear shot. Too bad the others left. The pole is not good, but the rest of the image is fine with me. Good light for this. I guess you were quite excited to get this. I would be.
Does he have "buck teeth" or is that something he was eating?

This image has good composition in the foreground with the curve and matching shadow in the portal. Depth of field is great on this also, with good detail in the foreground as well as to the horizon. Classic travel pic. There must be a lot of history in the structures here.

This is nice the way the water picks up the colors from the sky. The person walking on the pier helps to add a sense of scale. Take a few extra seconds when you shoot this kind of scene and try to get the horizon level and it will look a lot better. If you get a photo edit program, you will be able to fix the unlevel shots, but it will lose some at each corner when you do that, so it's best to shoot it level to begin with.
Good luck with your travels, and keep your camera with you.

Early morning tree along hway

Shots like this where you stop and capture the moment add a lot to your portfolio. I seem to get most of my photos that way.
The tree fits nicely into the frame, and the fog completes the connection with the earth at the ends of the limbs. I like this kind of light which happens early and late in the day.
Sharpness is not quite up to your usual tack sharp photos. For this one it did not need to be that sharp.

Great idea, and carried out to a well deserved ribbon! I enjoy your images of places in Florida.
