LOL -- thanks for the tip! I like the tone range -- really focus on their faces.

Thanks! -- for a change it seems a lot of people felt disposed towards humor : )

I'd actually had this idea in mind for a long time (months) but, as usual, had to scramble at the last minute to find the scale and get the shot in. (Lack of) focus on the scale I think is due to DOF issues, as I was most concerned with the light/focus on the garlic itself (pretty good, I thought); plus, the scale is pretty ugly in color.

And I have this other idea for the next time we have a "Light" -related challenge ... of course I forgot to use it this time : )

I like seeing the texture in the water; really clear lighting for a night shot.

Oooh ... not many pictures of cloud-to-cloud lightning around -- great capture. I'm sure your local NOAA gallery would be happy to see this.

Good angle/composition make this a postcard-like shot. I think it might improve just a little if you whiten-up the clouds on the horizon.

What a great sculpture -- I hope there's some additional info on this to read later.

I'd prefer an even narrower angle so that there's only the specular reflection from one "crater." I really like the idea!
