Thank you very much for you compliment. Unfortunately, I don't have the rest of the tree but I thought about faking the top of it by cloning in some sky. Thanks again!

I saw that my favorites tally increased and it took a long time to find this one that you added - Thank You!

Hi Paul. My moss looks a lot like yours. The difference is I cropped it tightly. In fact, so tightly that the image is too small to offer as a print (it got rejected). It looks great as a smally 4 x 5 print but really bad any larger. Moss facinates me since I came from a very arid climate - Utah - where this scene would never be found.

Sonja, I want you to come visit me! I want to visit your neck of the woods too. Thanks for the compliment. I'll write you.

David! I LOVE it! I recognize the mountain but not the water. I loved the way the photo first took me to the dock and then my eyes moved upward to a wonderful surprise - snow covered mountains! Beautiful!

David, I love it! The last time I was there the brine flies were killing me. I thought I was a die-hard photographer! LOL. Actually, in my mind, this doesn't represent any religion, just a complete humbling before God. Very, very nice.

This is a beautiful photograph! The lighting is exceptional and the child\'s expression is beautiful. His eyes are my favorite part of the photo, they are so bright and clear, Absolutely one of the best portraits I have seen on this site. I envy you your model :) PS: The hand placement is wonderful. 10!

Andre, this is absolutely gorgeous. I was browsing prints and saw this. I love the flower, the colors, and your composition, well, it's a goosebump maker!
