Ok. Inquiring minds (mine) want to know how you ended up taking this photo when you live in Florida. ??? I grew up in that area. :-)

Couple shots here from a winter visit.

Very nice isolation on the portrait.

Vintage is the right word for this photo. Looks like something that you'd pull out of the family album, maybe a photo of that special bouquet from a wedding, prom, etc... Nice job with this aged look and feel.

Looks like you're practicing for the tilt/shift challenge. :-) The colors on this are really popping like crazy (especially the blues). Great control of the sweet spot to isolate the center of this comp.

The colors in this are crazy cool! Lot's of atmosphere - almost makes you feel like you're there. Nice catch!

This is unique and unusual. Don't see this colortone used that frequently. In this case I think it works quite well to tell a story of a damp and chilly early morning walk. Makes me want to put on a jacket. :-)

Don't know if you touched this up in photoshop or not to get the darker edges, but however it was achieved I like the way the focal point is certainly the standout object in this photo. The color and brightness in the ball is in such contrast to the surrounding area that it works very well - and it's fun too! :-)

From the thumbnail it looked kinda like a mini tornado. :-) Your macro work with the LB is taking on a unique abstract feel. Kinda cool.

Now here's something quite unique indeed! IR with a LB. Toss one of these in a challenge and let it get chewed on a bit - I dare ya. :-P Quite honestly, I'm not a fan of IR in most cases. Just seems so "fake". However, I know there are many out there that do like that look...putting it together with the LB could be a new category all your own. Food for thought. Smile and keep having fun! :-)

Oh, BTW, I do like the foreground grass in this coming up in front of the building. I think it's an element that adds substantially to the story here.
