YES! My place! :o) Great composite - describes exactly what it looks like when I go through the drivethrough. Awesome. Good colors.

Yes, Bill looks like the proverbial caged bird. But the gray cage wire works well with his plumage. I suppose they are not hand tame? Other than you putting the camera into the cage or taking the bird out of the cage I wouldn't have any wise ideas how to avoid getting the wires in the photo.

But that aside - love the photo and the story. Probably the more you talk to them, the more Ben will come around.

You did a great job. This is an intriguing photo - the different light sources and the strange beverage in the glass, and the guy, of course. Very cool perspective, too.

The detail is - wow. Love the colors here, too - like in the creature photo. I'm usually not into bug shots, but you make them look so fairy-tale-like and it's easy on the eyes and the gag reflex. That bush I keep on photographing... it's full of bees. They are very very busy, though. Not a one would hold still long enough for me to focus on it to take a shot. Too bad - I've tried. Bees don't gross me out so much and I'm not afraid of them. In fact, a few times a year I'll get a small swarm coming into my apartment. The buzz around all confused. Then they fly up to the skylight - to the light! To the light! There they bang themselves silly against the glass and die. Afterwards I have bee corpses all over my carpet. I really didn't intend to write such a tome, but I seem to be on a roll... :oD

Sweet. Love the colors and the shimmer on the creature. I think it's a type of fly... like I'm a big Australian Insectologist... In any case, the photo is lovely. Totally good for Macro - hope you have something like that to submit. My Flora is bombing so badly that I think I'm possibly never going to submit anything again.

Fun fun photo! Love the diagonal line from the tongue to the ear. Fabulous detail - and Katee is just the sweetest looking dog. She does look like she's laughing.

I hope all is ok with her throat. If she's eating, pooping, peeing, playing and her nose is wet, she should be fine. Maybe, like Sandy said, it's a stain from something she ate.

Keep us updated. OXO Alicia

Nice catch with that single footprint. Looks like the Thing from the Lagoon coming to getcha! Love the BW and darkness of this photo.

What a land - just gorgeous. Perhaps a little darkening with levels? Would make the colors and contours pop more.
