This subject has a very engaging look in this image. You did well to time and frame the shot so perfectly. The bokeh BG is perfect for this subject.

There was a lot of potential at this location. Too bad the farmer was not so pleasant. I feel that you would have gotten a few excellent images from this scene if you had been able to study it a little, and shoot carefully. For the circumstances, you did get this one good shot. A re-edit, and burn and dodge a little to lighten it up the barn would make it pop to the front of the image.

This is a very nice view of a single flower in the making. If you had put it in the "Bokeh" challenge, I think that the little light area just left of the bloom would have caused a problem with voters. I like it a lot for the softness of bokeh, and the two color contrast with the very white petals and the dark green all around.

Day 17 : Retina

Comment:
The unusual angle allows this to be an inviting shot in a rather candid shot sort of way. The iris stands out nicely, and the normal reaction to look away from an eye looking directly at you is averted. Good stuff.

Macro Day 19

It's difficult to keep stable with everything when you are shooting this close in. The subject is definitely suited for macro shooting.

You should try a macro with that lens. The old manual focus Sigma 15mm fisheye that I have will focus to about 4 inches if I stop it down to around f 8, which gives a nice view into little worlds of flowers and similar colorful things.

Turtle dinner

Great name for a pet turtle. I looks like Soup gets pampered. The textures and colors in this work well with the white vignette border.

Day 18 - Brush

You're right. It looks just like a broom. Good tech with this shot, and the brush made a good subject with lots of tiny texture.

Snow on pine

Too cold looking for me. I hope that you had a much better winter this year than you did last year. This reminds me of melting snow that I saw on a mountain in Nov 06 in New Mexico.

Day 20 - Flash

I'm not sure what to think of this. My first impression was that it was a much larger item. That's a great 3D effect due to the way the light is working thru the plastic.
