Like looking at a ghost at the end of a tunnel.

If the rules allowed it something like this would have been good for the current Abstract Motion challenge -- great swirling effect and colors.

A fine example of the diversity all around us ... I like the variety of perspectives and the square crop works well.

On a second third look I would probably have switched positions between the top corner photos in the composite, so that the main characters would be looking "in" rather than out, although I know that's just the "standard" approach ...

A charming look at a bit of "small town America" not 20 miles from downtown San Francisco.

Sometime around 1970 my dad and I took a class at SF State where we excavated a former Native American habitation site on one of the nearby ranches ... on the very last day we found a burial site.

Someplace I have a topographic map I made after we learned how to survey the site ...

Reminds me a little of the invaders from War of the Worlds ... :-)

Very nice stitching job. Personally, I'd have probably bumped the contrast and saturation a little, but that's just my style -- colors are great.

Both the photo and the explanation are well-done!

At The Crucible they teach people to make/work with inert-gas lights — at an Open House I've seen a display where they have a sample piece of light using each of the gasses to show the different colors they produce.

Tilt of the head adds "personality" to this candid portrait; high-key look works for me ...

Like the photo of Bianca, I like the soft look and relaxed, winning smile.
