ode to the artichoke

I really think some of Neruda's odes are his best work. This is one of them. And your photo is an ode in itself.

Wonder, wonder-fall. Raises the bar for pooch shots. (Found this in JulietNN's faves).

Beauty. Great palette, and the pearls ... Full of reference.

Good Morning, Fine Spring Day
by SandyP

Comment:
Actually a rare instance of me preferring the colour, so understated, which settles the subject so nicely in context, and shows the eye better, but that might be my monitor. Perhaps the black and white brings out more the drama of your DOF, and increases the sense of space, though I think the thick black border over emphasizes the black in the subject which doesn't need it. In any case, a delightful shot, the zoom did good and so did you in the composing. That smile certainly does no harm!

Nice matching indeed, but wonderful how you make man-eater really pop out.

Elk in the mist

This is beautiful. Not sure beefed up colour/contrast would improve the feel of this. Sorry you're not longer a member or active, because your two viewable photos are excellent, and stand very well on their own.

Great composition and treatment of light and tones.

Chiaroscuro Cumulo

Yes, this puts many scapes to shame. (Checking out your camera, what a wonder to find this. Like the mystery detail at the bottom).

In My Time of Dying

Wizard use of the fence. e301's comment sort of cracks me up and I do see a poor dead peasant in a shroud all trussed up in the fence, which at first was sort of by the way, but I think maybe is on the way..... Admire your BW; thanks for details.
