Great "power sky"! It makes the vertical in the trees just jump from the page in this one.

Day 27: By the canal
by Valdo

It looks like a vehicle came by while the shutter was open. The blur moves my vision to the rest of the photo, which is good. You did a very nice job of getting the lights in all the buildings and reflections in the canal to look so good and sharp. The area at the bridge, with the stairway and the posts by the canal looks vaguely familiar, as if I have seen it in another photo. Maybe it was the "blur" challenge.

Day 28 - Baby Bunnies

That's just too sweet. I had a rabbit pet one time named "silly" after the one in the "Trix are for kids" commercials. They are so soft and gentle.
I like the POV and the one with the mustache is a cutie.

This is a very good image, even with the things that you mention about "quality issues". Most of us know the techniques to get the great shot, but it just isn't always easy as time never stands still with animals or people.
Capturing a hundred one time, exceptional moments like this is worth a lot more to me than missing most of life and it's great images while trying to get that one technically perfect shot.

Day 27b - Beauty When You Look For It
by MaryO

Comment:
I have a very similar shot of sugar cane tassels, so don't feel odd about seeing the beauty in this scene. You have done a good job of getting the effect that you were looking for. You're right about the traffic. I would have never guessed.

Good image. It made me look for a while and think about all the things in it. Like the processing too.

Day 28.5: Birds, Birds Everywhere

That is a happy looking snowy egret. I see by the barnacles that it's salt water there, and low tide. You selected good settings to not blow out the bird, and to still keep the detail in the darker areas in the shot.

Episcopal Church, Mission SD

Grand architecture in this old place, and the solid blue sky makes it stand out nicely. Too bad about the fence. I use my monopod for that kind of problem , and put the camera above the fence, if the fence is back far enough, but in this case I don't think that it would work because of the fence being close to the building.
