So glad you found a vulcan for this. A lot of time must have gone into this and it is reflected in the shot. Not a fan of borders in challenges [8]

Hope........for a home!

Congratulations Sue :)

I think the SPCA (as well as the animals)will benefit from a series of pictures from you, you seem to have the nack for capturing animal emotions, as for the series - go do it now!

Sea of tranquillity

Gordon, this was one of the first challenges I saw when I joined as a full member and it almost made me ask for my money back! Its been in my favourites for a while, I must have forgotten to comment.

Rather than being daunted by it, I now aspire to similar greatness but not sure I'll live long enough. Whilst I doubt getting the image like this was simple, thats what it conveys and makes it a stronger image.

The Connection

Of your recent cruise pics (all gr8) this is my favourite. would love to know how you captured the red whilst keeping the background so vibrant. My only thought (after some time viewing) would be to shift the horizon a degree or two to the left?

Neon Wine
by smartypants

Comment:
I didn't vote in Neon but would probably have given it a 5 or 6. Now, don't get me wrong but if I'd have known it was taken by a 12 year old it would probably have scored a 7 or 8 from me. Not only do you have talent behind the lens (composition etc) but you already have a fine grasp on post editing. I look forward to more of your pictures Andrea.

Very nice shot Julia but doubt peeps would have seen 'hope' in this shot.

Shrimp Boats

Love the colour and dof, the rust really sets the picture off well, maybe if you cropped the lower quarter off it would have more impact?

Love the antlers on this Moose, great hot but on my monitor the body seems a little too dark.
