Morning Frost on the Boardwalk

The board lines and the shadows crossing don't seem to work for me.

Now I'm hungry. Good to fit the theme, but no one subject stands out for attention.

The reflection of the side strobe is distracting to me. Good timing for the capture.

I see you have your DSLR back! And and new computer to use it with as well. Killer images to begin with, and PP is your own brand of digital delight. Big congrats on the red.

Fountain Abbey

An attractive image of a place connected to a time long past. It must have been magnificent in it's glory days. It's nice that they mow the lawn to keep the weeds from taking over. I like old structures, but there are not many in Florida more than 100 years old. I noticed that in London, there is an interesting combo of new and old, side by side all over town.

What a pair!

I had no trouble at all connecting the dots to make this diagonal. Like J.P. said, see if you can scrub out the bright spots, at least the ones under his ear. The leaves are ok with me. I like the border idea too. Best wishes to the couple.

It's a Wonderful Life

Killer pic. I smile every time I see it.
I sometimes get this low angle by using a monopod and self timer or remote, and just put the camera on top of my boot or shoe, then turn the image 180 later. I have a bit of back problem when I get this low and try to see thru the viewfinder.
Congrats on the ribbon!

Gee, I was pretty close about the "dirt filter". I actually was wondering how you got that effect, thanks for telling.

Exellent image for a P&S. I know the feeling with my SLR in the shop too. That explains the DOF thing that seemed not quite right to me during voting. That dirt looks like plants would love it.
Maybe "Alien Compost" would be an alternate title?

Easy there Pineapple. To me, the nice candle holder indicates that this miner was at home . Still, I understand about the safety lamps thing.
