The Backhoe

I guess we might as well make the most of documenting what's happening around us since what Robert didn't tell you is that we are about to experience simultaneously a house being built directly across the street (this photo shows that process underway), a cottage being demolished and replaced by a 2-story house right next to us with the closest wall of that building being 25 feet from our bedroom windows (and we are not usually early risers) and our road being torn up to replace an aging gas line (for which we should be thankful as we heard it was in poor condition when it had to be repaired outside our house due to a leak 18 months ago). I work from home.. I think I better invest in some "noise cancelling" headphones. Robert's experience of course will be somewhat different..

I've done a search and can't find any image of Mt Shuksan that won a ribbon, but I'll keep looking. Not voting yet.

Open Cup Mushroom / e301

Interesting textures here but the stalk dominates the image far more than it did in the original to its detriment IMO. I do like the ridge and patterns in the lower left corner.

I have to echo what Mark said, I love the lines/perspective, reflections, and posture. Congratulations on the top ten finish.

Great image. Interesting light that picks up the textures in his face and sweater. I never vote on Robert's images, and this got my highest score in this challenge. Congratulations on the well deserved ribbon.

Energy now — No crash later!

Lovely image and processing, sweetie.

I don't know about the juxtaposition of the no crash later display (which I think is shorthand for "no sugar/carbs crash") within inches of an extensive display of candy bars.

Thanks for the updated comment! Now you know why Robert bear_music and I usually make a point of not entering similar pictures. In this instance Robert suggested we do, in part to determine which image seemed more "silent" to DPC voters.
