Very nice capture, and good angle. You must have been lying down to shoot this. Good shutter speed, wide aperture, and fast trigger finger helped with this image. Well done Julie Boc! Thanks for posting it.
I would have been sneezing from the ragweed.

I like several things in this image. The textures in the wall are great, the colors with the green and yellow, then the brick and stone colors are complex, but very interesting. The perspective is very prominent as well, another thing that I like. It must have been a huge task to build this wall.

I could not tell in the contest entry, but I guessed correctly that this was in S Georgia as soon as the image popped up on screen. I lived in Adel for a few months. Good work on your part to see that this would make a good candidate for the "Entrance" challenge with some simple but effective tinkering.

Oddly enough, I really enjoy Gary Larson's humor, and I also live at 1108.
Funny idea, and technically well done.
Congrats on the "Entrance" finish.

I get an interesting perception of very cold, with something not quite right, because of the very alive looking green in the frosty looking background. The green seems to add to the perception of cold for some reason. Good PP to make this what it is. You were probably right about not putting it into the "Shallow" challenge.

The bit of rock in the left corner gives a good sense of depth to this image. It's an awesome place, and the image looks like it should be a post card.

This is a snowy egret, once called a "plume bird" and hunted for its feathers for ladies hats. They are still not very common in Florida today.
Good capture. It is not easy to get the black and white both to show up right in digital images of white birds like this one because of the huge difference in reflectivity.

Expressions say it. I would not be too sure about diving into a hole like this myself unless I knew what was down there.

Butterflycaledic! These were everywhere in the late 60's and early 70's. Beautiful butterfly, and very nice capture the way the light from above reflects up under the wings. The background is fun, but seems to distract from the subject. Very colorful image.

This is a very dynamic looking place, and it looks like a dangerous one for boating. It makes a good photo subject.
