Yes, this is a standout, especially the drake who seems to pop out of the picture.

Flying Light

(Similar but totally different!) Here, the drama is on the egret catching the sun, and the eye is also drawn to the two lines of rice stalks in focus. (Would build my composition around these features; at this resolution the reflection does not add much).

19 - Trees

Comment:
Popping colours; love the ripple effect and nice touch of the leaves at the bottom.

Super cloud trail.

Erik is right in that the stairs and wave action are beguiling, but then we would lose the main feature, Aqua Plus. Very cool.

Rock Creek Power Station
by cogerox

Comment:
Very complex photo. POV and delivery of detail make it almost surreal; station stands out in a dark natural scape - dark trees, dark green blue river, slatey blue rocks on either side, all great elements. And so strong and sufficient in themselves that I would crop that bit of sky and sunlit treetops, or subdue them, although I know they provide context.

Celestial mirage.

Day 32a - Leave Me Alone!
by colorcarnival

Comment:
Dear. (In some ways this will be harder for Chloe, though I still remember the last days of our 16 yr old, and me and mine separately silently and simultaneously making the decision and then the moment... Five years ago).
You are good to respond to our responses!

17 - Dinner
by ErikV

Comment:
Like the way the kibble colours echo the tones of the fallen leaves. (You did it again, Erik - that could be my leaf bestrewn lawn, and that is one clean dog, in honour of the occasion).

Security

Comment:
Is it dead?
Edit: I know this is a rude and crude comment; also that every care was taken with the infant, and that slings have been the carrier of choice ever since the stork. Perhaps it is a tribute to your skill that I was so viscerally affected, and also a recognition, I believe, of the power of an image. It was the bunching towards being closed at the top that reminded me of the way turkeys are packaged, and all at once the baby became a thing, and then, for me, a line was crossed.
