I sort of like the shallow DOF because it puts attention on the center of the flower.

Ristras in Old Town

That's a cool shot, the way the subject IS the subject, and there is no question about it. Abq is a wonderful city to tour around in.
I wonder if they still fly the huge ristras balloon at the balloon fest?

Good subject, and they look great against that nice sky due to the low POV. I like the way the nearest one is looking right into the camera.

I like your choice of things to add to the shot with the birds. You've become a storyteller with images. It's a good thing that it's winter there now, or Greg would be overheated from the ax work.

Nice effect with the blur. It gives the shot a sort of surreal feel.

This is a beautiful location, and you have captured the right combination of elements to create a sort of "happy sailing vacation dream snapshot" showing the color change in the water as it gets deeper, with the old volcanic mountain in the background. Nicely presented, and you deserve a thumbs up for sharing the good vibe. : )

This deserved a much better score. It's not easy to get a big score in any "Advanced Editing" challenge, even with a tack sharp shot. Thumbs up to you for entering a shot that is different from the "DPC norm" for this sort of challenge. I like it.

Funny cool : )
Good combo. They actually did build 2 holers, though I doubt that they were used that way often.
