It looks like you have been island hopping. I hope to get out to the Abacos again soon. Thanks for the nice thought for the day.

Wow, what an exceptional job of bringing out the best of the original image! Your model is a knockout as well. It's a great talent you have, to be able to see this in the shot that you started with, and to be able to bring it to this level of quality as a finished image.

This looks like my kind of tradition! The activity and the POV puts the viewer right into the scene.
Now I'm hungry.

NIce crop to get the POV for this, and the HDR is just enough without being too overpowering for the scene. It's an inviting looking place, esp in the finished image that makes it look like the cabin could be miles from the nearest neighbor.

Old Grump

Old Grump looks pretty content about you pointing your camera at him. The light in this shot is cool with the one eye lit well, and the other just a couple of highlights. My attention goes right to the eye on the bright side.

Jays are pretty smart birds. I like the curve of the plant hanger, the bokeh and the "head on" point of view in this shot.

Arches and Filigree

Congrats on the POTD! This is a very intriguing perspective shot, with the way the arches carry your attention from right to left back and forth into the distance.
DPC score would have been much higher if you had been able to use a tripod and stop down to f11 or so to get the distant arches in better focus. The uniform existing light helps a lot with this shot too.

Superb detail in this shot. You don't see these guys resting in the mowed grass very often. They usually seek out a place well above the ground to light for a break. The DOF looks like this was shot at f11 or f16.

The Good Times

This just looks like somewhere around the western Everglades, maybe the Turner River or Bear Island area. It's a beautiful shot, and it made me look more than twice when I was looking through the challenge entries. I notice that it did not get any 1, 2, or 3 votes. What a wonderful shot.
Congrats on the huge score too!

This is an interesting street shot. The people in the background seem to be in their own little world, and paying no attention to anything going on.
