I'm a sucker for tuxedo kitties... and that little black spot on the nose is adorable! She looks so cozy in her spotted blanket! :)

Great job... I love how the 'restaurant' neon sign in the background isn't lit up. That would have been a major distraction to the shot. Nicely done!

I didn't vote on this challenge, but this is just fantastic! Even better is that you took the time to share the background on how the shot was done. I think I see that nighttime desert squirrel running around back there in the background! :P Great job, and congrats on a well deserved blue!

I'll second that! I always enjoy reading your photographers comments, even on something as simple and as this photo. Your daughter has really grown up over the last 2 years compared to your first 7+ photo... we'll keep an eye out in 2008 for the same chair to see how much more she's grown! Congrats on the ribbon... well deserved! :)

This is like one of those optical illusions... if you let your eye wander around, it seems to move in and out. Interesting!

Beautiful.. love the combination of the calm landscape with the one balloon. The sky colors and the light finish off a wonderful combination. Well done!!

The Drive Home

It's interesting the things the eye finds to focus in on with a shot like this. For example, it's good to see that you decided NOT to put on the sunglasses while you were driving down the dark street at 59 mph while holding up a camera to take a long exposure shot. That just seems dangerous :P That is quite a lot of colored lights though surrounding you!

This looks like Olana... it has to be, there can't be that many buildings with that unique architecture. Beautiful, vibrant colors, though perhaps a bit too bright (they look almost neon?). A nice capture of the autumn color though with the building.
