Good composition. Excellent coordination of sign and expression along with hand gestures stresses the message. Excellent title. Not to judge that the hands aren't from two other people I won't DNMC this. 6

Oct 09 - Train

Was the blur done PP? How did you do it? At first I thought it was a panning shot, but then saw the ground and poles by the train are frozen and it gets more blurred horizontally the further from the end of the train you go. It's not a zooming shot or it would be blurred radially from center.

I miss the fall colors in San Diego, but I don't miss raking them up after they fall! Nice DOF and bright colors. Good angle up at the sky with treetop bokeh.

The PP really gave this a soft focus almost like a painting. It's more interesting than the one original, but almost looks like it was taken while you were on your run. I like the color combination. I have never tried HDR and wouldn't know where to start.

Beautiful day

Congratulations on top 10! I like the mirror lake here much better than your Rule of Thirds entry of the same scene. Snow in April and in September. Does it ever go away? I'm glad to live in San Diego with our great year-round weather, but I would love to have some of the scenery and skies you have in Iceland.

Mesa Arch

Congratulations on top 10! I think we have seen this arch a lot, but this is one of the best shots of it. I love the sun and starburst along with the excited figure on it. The flare is unfortunate, but is difficult to control and doesn't hurt it so much. Unfortunately I didn't even get a chance to look at this challenge during voting.

A Touch of Autumn

This is such a beautiful autumn shot. I'm afraid I only had a chance today to look at thumbnails and this one stood out the most. It looks like a painting or a jigsaw puzzle picture. I hope you're doing OK. Hospitals are unhealthy places to go to.

So what were they, grunion? We have "grunion runs" (google it) in Southern California where the grunion jump out of the sea at high tide certain nights that can be forecasted long in advance and lay their eggs in the sand and then try to get back into the water.
