Beautiful shell. Congrats on the HM and new hardware. They say it is not about the equipment, but it can be a factor. A faster, more responsive machine means you can more easily explore your creativity in processing.

Nicely found and captured. I love the way you have handled the colors -- lovely muted blues, greens and red. You have made it sing while showing restraint by not pushing it too far.

I get what you are saying about titles. I agree an option to leave it blank would be nice. Part of me thinks a good image should be able to stand on its own. Yet for some strong images a good title can add context or strengthen an emotional connection. I do envy some folks here that seem to be able to generate creative, thought provoking titles with ease. At times, the best I can musters is "The ________".

A simple phone shot of an ordinary subject transformed. Entries like this remind me how much I have to learn and how narrowly I tend to look at things. Thanks.

The tilt works well to add impact. The obsessive in me automatically squares up everything in post processing. I suspect I might not have thought to try entering the tilt. Well played. For the EFS challenges I am always combing my shots for the month looking for images that might merge well together. You have chosen very well.

You've got to love the Wrigley Building. I'm guessing a hotel a few blocks west of Michigan Avenue.

The overseas relative of my Bokeh entry. I like your background bokeh better and you get extra points for a bit of foreground bokeh.

The frog whisperer strikes again. Nicely done, Lydia.
