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.

July 11 - Cruzeiro do Sul (The Southern Cross)
by Bud

Comment:
I overlooked this before, but it really appeals to me now. What an interesting little boat -- I've never seen one like it. Good colors, well exposed, and of course I like all the water "above" the boat, which accentuates the boat's small size in a big body of water.

Day 20

I was in Tiburon once, back in 1988 or so. Hard to believe it was so long ago now. I still recall sitting in an outdoor cafe late one afternoon. I was amazed at the size of the seagulls. And then the fog came down out of the hills in what seemed to me a very menacing way!

What I like about this photo is the lone woman. She is grainy and in shadow yet she is a strong presence. Her face blends with the rock, but then the way the light hits her legs is very strong.

Hey, this is really terrific. I love the colors, it is like seeing a bit of life in an otherwise dry world. The wall is high key without being blinding. The bit of grunge at the top helps ground this in reality.
