This appears to be printed on cloth. It's a very good effect, and thanks for posting how you got that.

It's interesting the way you lighted this shot. Seeing the camera settings of f35? and 8 sec @ iso400. My guess is flash from above right, and evening ambient light just after sunset?
The overall impression that I get viewing this seems to make me aware of the thorny stems of the plants as well as the beauty of the simple white roses. I don't know if it's the lighting or the low angle POV that provides that impression for me.

I like the bottom half of this one a lot. Those ducks move along when they are flying, so I know that this was not an easy one to get.

This is one kind of surprise that you never forget if it's really close when the buzzer goes off. Having a resident black snake or gopher snakes will keep these critters away from your yard.
That's a nice tight shot of the snake. I think that even if the rattler was in focus, it would not be sharp due to motion blur.

Well done! It's an excellent fit for the challenge as well, as shown by your new ribbon! The B&W gives it a connection to the old movies where they used this sort of shot for a dramatic scene.

I'm not sure how you did this, but I do like the effect. The subject and perspective are a very good match for the processing effect.

Grand! Perfect for impressionism.

The colors in this look very much like a film shot. The amount of blur is just right for the effect of diminishing the details without making it too abstract.

You did a spectacular processing job to get this from the three that you started with. It's a place that I would like to photograph someday. Fortunate you, got to go there and see the sunrise as it was happening for this shoot. : )

Walking on Water

These little snowy egrets are really fun to watch when they are fishing. If the water is deeper, they swoop along dragging their feet in the water to bring up the fish. In shallower water, they jump and run along like this with their wings out when feeding. I don't know if they are looking for the fish to run because of their wings being out, or if they are shading the water so that they can see better. In any case, it's a show to see. You snagged the action perfectly with this one.
