New year New country Old moon

PAW (for my 2009 goal counting purposes) - Great capture of the crescent moon over a new vs old building scene. I think more perfect timing would be if the walking person was back about 2 to 3 meters so he wasn't up against the pole but was more going into the picture and not out of it, but you can't rewind time.

PAW (for my 2009 goal counting purposes) - I love the heavy, fresh, untouched snowfall on this rustic building. It does well in B&W. I haven't seen snow close up in not nearly enough time. ;-) I saw it in the mountains a week ago and that was close enough for me.

Creature From The Deep?

PAW (for my 2009 goal counting purposes) - I was thinking fiber optics. Nice macro. It's difficult getting any DOF at all with this distance, and you got good DOF. Did you have a high f-stop? It's maybe a little too bright at the end of the brush. I like the blue light coming from the back, but I didn't see anything about blue in the description. Is that the brush handle color?

Seeking One's Muse

PAW (for my 2009 goal counting purposes) - That's a camera? I couldn't figure it out but thanks for pointing it out. I love the contrasting colors, the seemingly out of place woman on her knees and the perspective on the storefront, first making me think it's unlevel one direction, then the other. It adds an element of chaos emphasizing the title. It looks like the muse is available immediately. Nicely done post-processing.
(ETA) Oops! I'm in the wrong PAW thread, but I hope my comment was helpful.

Excellent work Johnna, and coming back to give you a Member of Week comment. I gave you a 7 on this. I love the tilted head pose. I didn't realize it was a separate mask and paint at first due to the precise alignment and coloring. I also really like how the feathering of the mask matches the flow of the hair so well, and it's good it's a different color so it doesn't blend in.

Can you see?

Very interesting transparent can. Is it a reflection or was it pulled away during a time exposure?

Rainbows at the Icy Edge

Good capture, though I'd like to see it with an adjusted CPF to get some of the surface reflection out of it. Is this a trout hatchery or farm or is it in the wild, where getting three grown trout together would be improbable?

I'm glad you added title because you can't see the water. Of course this is a tidepool image for those that recognize it.

Lovely glass ball photo. It looks like a wonderful tropical island, which I'm a real softy for 8.

Really nice but scary perspective. I hope the transparency is the glass between you and the alligator/crocodile for you safety, and because the water isn't at all transparent, so I'll vote with that assumption. If you used a CPF it would have helped make the water transparent. Overall I think it's got too much of a green tint to it.
