I like this too - but I think I like the color version better. The tones are too rich and pretty to take them out in my opinion.

Ohhhh how I want to visit your town! It looks so quaint. So interesting. So much character. It makes me want to order up a latte and sit outside and soak up the ambiance. Thanks for sharing :)

I agree with citymars. I go out to our Botanical Garden to try to get photos looking up into those great big greenhouses, and I never get the light "under control". It always look way overblown, and the structure's silhouette doesn't look clean and defined like this -- just black and under lit :( This is a fabulous abstract.

Wow, Brian! This is beautiful. I am really disappointed that it didn't score better. I read thru some of the comments and totally disagree with most of the criticisms. Because pattern is all about busy -- and this photo is MUCH better centered than if you had put the mast off to one side (in my opinion). I think people get way wayyyyyyyy to hung up on thinking you can't ever have a good photo without that often boring rule of thirds in play.

Sorry. This deserves to have finished much better than it did!

This is so good. So much activity in the branches, but a beautiful clear shot of the bird. He looks to be just soaking up spring :)

Awwww. ..poor little honey bee. My photo for today can be a tribute to the poor fellow who lost his life to the robber fly.

Man. . .you are so good at macros too! You can see every little creepy fuzzy hair. Amazing!

What a FABULOUS photo! Thank you so much for sharing the story too. It makes it even more interesting. That is so amazing. I sure hope there weren't any kinks in the electrical current. That cute little fellow would have a RUDE awakening, wouldn't he.

How SWEET! Congratulations on 8th place! Oh. . .and I think wearing the pants that way is pretty much universal. I sure see lots of teenage undies poking out over jeans in America too. :)
