Ah, this is beautiful; a bit underrated, if you ask me.... Nice work! The bird adds the perfect grace note.

Cape May, Cape Cod; lovely places, aren't they? I was just checking out your portfolio, you'd been under my radar. Some very nice work there. If you ever get up this way, let's see if we can connect? I got all sorts of deja vu from this one :-)

This is powerful and serene at the same time Judi. Now for heaven's sake, give us some INFORMATION, willya?

You Called ??

Comment:
Who knew turtles had teeth? LOL... Great shot, as usual. Frankly, I don't see any "bokeh" here at all by my standards, just silky-smooth OOF areas, so you made the right choice IMO.

You're getting rather good at this HDRI stuff, slipmeister! Congrats!

Nugget Point Lighthouse

Comment:
This is a beauty, though I remember thinking when I first viewed it that the lighthouse was held back too much, that it shouldn't be quite that white. A quibble on a fine shot.

Ah, GREAT to see this finish so well! Congrats! Such an intensely human image, and such a startling one.

Nice to see the astrophotography coming into its own amongst the voters, rather than being an obsession of a relative few afficionados. Congrats on the top-5 finish!

I knew this had to be you! One of my high scores, and I figured it would ribbon. From my years in Yosemite, this lovely vantage has special meaning for me (I may have had a view camera set up exactly where you were more than once), and your conditions, the conditions in which you shot, are perfect the scene. I'm glad you made the drive and congrats on the ribbon!
