a faster shutter speed.
the little girl or edge of her body.
eliminating the pticher in the foreground...or mostly eliminated

superb detail and dof. I like the cropping, although I might have given it just a smidge more room at the bottom.

the texture is intriguing. at first it put me off, but the longer I looked at it, the more I liked it. The gritty yet smooth summarizes the subject matter nicely. I'm amazed that these feet look so much like my son's!

ok so how's the vise suspended? It's obviously NOT being held by the hand...and Photoshop manipulations are against the rules.

Summer Heat

Comment:
It certainly relays the idea of extreme heat. I'd be interested in knowing how you blocked the red filter just for the sun and it's halo, and the few highlights, if you're comfortable sharing the information (crisa58@yahoo.com) There's a large-ish object intruding on the upper left to left middle. I wish it weren't there, that the palms were visible. But all in all a wonderful shot!

what an eye you have to have seen this which so many surely passby daily.
Architecturally, it reminds me of the library at Illinois State University which has a similiar motif lending itself to foreshortening and pattern repetition in photography.

the daisy in the background is perfect...even if you'd missed the bee! I'd like to see it cropped with the purple flower a bit more off center instead of as a dividing line down the middle
