Very nice, Daisy. I think the best part of this photo is the composition -- it really does give the impression of two photos combined. Hazy skies are a drag, but often unavoidable. Clever shot!

Day 23 - Yellow rose with raindrops

Well, congratulations to Polly! Many people never get this detail, and the colors are superb. I don't mind the crop, though it does seem a tad overexposed on the top. Nevertheless, quite impressive!

:-) Yes, in other words, I did not want to appear to be some pervert with a camera. People can be sensitive about having their picture taken, and doubly so when showing some skin!

Stunning array of colors for such a simple subject. Really beautiful.

Day 21a - Spin

Really neat -- beautiful colors. I've always wanted to try to get a photo like this. I'm driving through the midwest in late August, unfortunately just after the state fairs are over. Looks like you caught this at the perfect time of day.

Excellent concept for a composite, though at full-sized view the jaggies on the circle are distracting. I'd definitely like to borrow your idea for use at another time.

day 6 - computer chaos

Funny how different photos grab me on different days. I overlooked this before but today it strongly appeals to me. The touch of green is especially nice. Nice blur!

day 5 - my new best friend
by GinaRothfels

Comment:
I like the sepia-like tones of this very much. Funny, from the thumbnail I thought it was a cigarette lighter, and imagined it was your new best friend because you were a heavy smoker!

day 21 - exclusion

I love the contrasting colors of the padlock, and the other shades of metal, too. The way you've cropped the gate makes it seem like a cross. Nice deep blacks in the background.

Day 12 - "Off to see the Wizard"
by Bud

Comment:
What a beautiful child (I love the wide-open pupils). The grain & b&W work really well. 1600 ISO? The room must have been dim, with most of the light coming from the TV.

The Wizard of Oz scared me at that age. I used to hide behind my dad's easy chair whenever the witch appeared. I also remember seeing it in color for the first time at a neighbor's, back before everyone had a color TV. Quite an experience.
