Lovely reflections and this works well in a square crop, which seems to hold everything in place!

Lovely light and capture of the detail and textures. I'm left pondering what size this sculpture is.

Originally posted by GeneralE: Thanksgiving at the beach ... it doesn't "look" that cold (windy though). :-) Did you post-process the color or is that a camera-phone feature?

I processed with Nik Analog Efex Pro 2, which has far more options/settings than I previously realized. There has been something liberating for me about this side challenge that has led me to experiment with alternative ways of processing my entries and in the course of doing that I've discovered several new settings :-)

Thanks, and I'd have love to have seen your witty comment. I decided on further reflection that my initial title "Thanksgiving leftover" was just too obscure. But these HAVE been left (over) in this spot for at least two summers!

Glad to hear the toothache is gone. Wonderful "essence of kitten".

Wonderful. Well seen.

I love the contrails. They suggest there is some zinc in the staples, which when it washes down the wall prevents mold!

Beautiful. I love how the plant and flowers frame the right side and bottom of the image for us, with beguiling curves and textures, and even a bit of back-lighting. The bee is surrounded by bokeh but manages not to interfere with our enjoyment of it.

In the thumbnail, it almost looked as if Clooney was evaporating in a cloud of steam. Magnificent capture of his eyes.

Love this, squares within squares, with a medley of textures and colors. Well seen.

Wait a minute ... that's unreal (the something else you mentioned, that is). How much of it is due to the hand of man? Fascinating capture. Love the tones.

ETA: Congratulations. I got so carried away by what I was seeing that I forgot to say that !!
