Shooting while driving - one of my favorite things to do!

Love your story, Roz, and all the insight about Australian motor vehicle issues.

Outstanding photo - love all the smooth gray/black interior and the speed limit sign with the blue sky. Frame and filter take the cake - awesome!!!

Can't get over the fact that the car is turned around and everything is on the other side. If I ever come to Australia and have to drive, that's really going to mess with my head. Especially shifting with the left hand and in the other direction - aaaah! I can barely tell my left from my right as it is.

Pickles looks like he(?) is two dogs in one. The halved face is really amazing. Cute pup portrait.

This is so sweet, and sad - as if the pup were dreaming of better days. Very beautifully captured. (and I'm sure Petey has plenty of wonderful days all the time... just my imagination at play here)

So cute! I love squirrels. I suppose s/he is storing some fat to get through the winter - and the neighbor seems to be helping.

Day 12 - Snow Advisery - Slow Down - Do Not Tailgate

Ha! My first thought upon opening this image was - driving on an icy freeway with warning signs flashing overhead and taking photos... that's something I would do!

Ok - so now I've read your notes and your sorry disclaimer - hahaha! (just kidding)

Love the blur in this photo - it really conveys the exact situation you're talking about. And I have to say, I'm glad it's you and not me. I don't even know if I could drive in snow anymore - it's been so long.

Day 13 - Soft

She is a real trip, isn't she. This is just too cute. I can hear her say it - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The softness is very sweet and girly.

I'm commenting on the other one here - it's a riot, Ken. It's like her inner little-girl-beast has become visible for us all to see. Wonder if you could do something with layers to show the transition.

Day 13 - St. Mary Roman Catholic Church

I love this, Amanda. Your photo really does the architecture of the church justice. The crisp lines and the tones in the image are wonderful. I would perhaps try lightening it a bit with a levels adjustment layer to help it pop more; seems just a tad subdued.

ETA - I wouldn't have even thought to make a suggestion if you hadn't mentioned that you're not completely happy with the photo. :o)

This is definitely the beach for me. I'm not into the waves. Beautiful colors running through the photo - I agree with Germaine that it would be awesome in large.

This is utterly lovely. All those little girls with their pretty head dresses - the processing is fantastic and the whole image has a beautiful flow to it.

Very nice winding road - the black and white is awesome for this photo. I'm enjoying the view through the gate, too.
