Be sure to let them know that those are *very* cool shades.

My nephews can't stand still for a photo without going into some boy-band pose (or whatever that is). I just roll my eyes and worry for the future. ;-)

Good conversion to b&w -- it works well with the subject.

S'mores! :-)

Nice story and a really nice photo to go with it. This brings back many sweet memories. Your daughter is such a pretty little girl, I remember when my little sister was this age, a pretty child also and her hair was just as blonde and fine.

PS: Germaine's comment prompts me to add, in our family we also still call it pssghetti. The funniest came from my brother, who asked for more "Present Day" jelly. A big puzzler until we ID'd the jar of "Currant" jelly in the refrigerator. :-)

Good industrial image, and I like that you show the natural setting, too. You're probably right about the DNMC for the paper challenge as it would rely too much on the caption to make the connection.

Speaking of challenges, congrats on making the top 30 for dichotomy, but I think you should have been in the top 10 for that VERY creative image. I'll make sure I drop by and comment on it, too. :-)

Really nice personal photo. I can see the family resemblance. I'm curious as to why you blurred out some of the t-shirts. The troop number? Sometimes I think we worry too much about stuff like that. I mean, someone could maybe use it to identify your you or your town, but why would they? I don't mean to offend, quite the opposite -- just saying put your mind at ease about familial safety. Caution is good, but I think the news likes to scare us about dangers lurking out there to the point that they create fear where none is needed. OK, end of rant. :-)

Perfect blue sky, and I love the weathervane. Nice use of rule of thirds in the composition.

Great photo, especially with the personal connection. And thanks for the "bonus" photos, too.

That made me laugh!

Really nice composition, even though you had to lose some of the birds. I love the silhouettes.

Day 16 - Boats

You've really composed this nicely. Good job on the crop. Nice colors, especially on the forward boat. I also like the "rings" of water showing signs of life in the water.

I can see why this got your attention -- terrific colors. I need to start getting up earlier to catch such magic light.
