What an interesting mix of stuff. This image certainly has an energy related theme. The pipeline in the foreground, all the power wires, the greenhouse, the solar water heater, the little energy efficient car and the Texaco sign are all connected with energy.

At first, I wondered about the "straight on" POV, then realized that it was the best angle for the theme. It's a nice take on something that is a universal kids thing that we never seem to make much fuss over.

It's cool how shooting macro can make ordinary objects look so different from what we would normally see.
Strong side light to get shadows might give this little scene more bite. The even lighting tends to "flatten out" the subject. The shadows from side lighting could boost the perception of depth and texture.

Sunset at Buchanna

I shoot a lot of sunset scenes like this one, and have found that the sky will often reward you with a magic color burst if you can stay and keep shooting until the light is almost completely gone. The light along the horizon gets redder and the sky gets bluer until about 20 minutes after the actual "sunset" moment.
I like the layers in this. It's dock, water, dock, land, sky.

Osprey's Evening part II

This is a marvelous outdoor scene. It has four of my favorite subjects, bird, water, tree, and sunset sky. Everything came together for this one, and you were ready with the right lens and settings. It's a thrill to me to watch through the viewfinder and anticipate "the moment" when a scene like this is developing.

This looks like a very nice street for a walk. In the photo, if the girls had been closer, they would dominate the image, and further away, they would not be significant in the image. They add a lot of life to an otherwise ordinary scene without overwhelming the image.

I understand this shot, and two thumbs up to you for posting it. I'm happy to see that you got a posthumous comment on it.

You nailed this one. Exposure, composition, square crop, and subject are all A+.
The only nit that I could pick would be to do something with the little bright spot on top of the girl on the left side.

You captured a great moment with this image. The solid white BG is very good in putting the important subject right out front in this. This image connects.

Photos like this one are what make family albums great to have. They are little adults before you even notice, then one more eye blink, and you are making albums of the grandkids.
