Reading through the comments on this photo I see he is your son. He is an amazing model - not only handsome but he has presence - he holds his pose and it's an uncommon one .. his expression tells a story ... many stories depending on the viewers imagination. Your pping is amazing - I think I am so outclassed on this sc that I will stick with shooting birds and just watch you all from a distance. :)

Just wow again .. I have been living in a shell in that I didn't know your work .. amazing .. I can't imagine what I am going to find in your layers folders. The shadow in this shot, especially the tail of the horse mimics the curve of the mountain - impressive.

fog settles in

When I saw your name on the sc list, I realized I didn't know your work so I thought I would go and have a peek and this was my first peek. Wow. What an excellent photo - a masterful use of the fish eye - I would love to walk that road in the fog - the reflection is understated but perfect. I love the bush in the f/g. The composition is outstanding as is your choice in the dual tone tint.

Now I have to go and look some more. I love finding new (to me) photographers I admire.

Congratulations on the front page for this shot .. it's a great street shot (of which I stink at) It meets the challenge.. it has all the elements of a good story, a sad one but that's OK as DP often has too many rainbows and flower stories .. I love the pattern of the bricks she is walking on.. the fact that her face and body are a silhouette really make for a better composition.. what is the b/g? I love that I don't know and I can make up my own story about it .. just an amazing street shot and I am so glad to see it on the front page.

I have to admit I thought this would place higher although the front page is nothing to sneeze at unless you are allergic to an unjust 2 and a 3 vote (even a 4 on this shot)on a photo that meets the challenge perfectly, is beautifully photographed, is interesting, has drama, is unusual, meets technical guidelines such as rule of thirds etc, wonderfully pped ...but what the heck - you made the front page, congratulations! ahchoo - where is my claritin?

Perfectly meets the challenge, wonderful, interesting textures, crisp focus, fascinating shadows ... what 3 idiots gave this a 3? I won't tell you what I think about the people who gave you a 4 vote (grin) No I don't try to win popularity contests .. I just love this shot and congratulations on placing 6th .. doing my happy dance for you! By the way, it's a rumba!

1 Part Each: Glass, Water, Light

There could be 9000 more glass shots and I will enjoy each one because they are all as unique as a landscape, seascape or any other type of shot... unique according to the photographers vision of it .. I am enjoying your take on this glass shot .. wonderfully done, suits the challenge, beautifully photographed and congratulations on your ribbon.

Rhapsody in Blue

Well, Well, it is very similar to your other image I liked so much and it really packs a punch with so much blue .. I am really enjoying seeing your body of work especially because you haven't been here all that long and you are getting ribbons galore. Now I really can't wait to see what you bring back from your balloon expedition and I expect great things - I really doubt that you will let something such as fear of heights stop you because you have found your ... sweet spot :) Loving it .. you go girl!

I saw you dancing in the fields...

I didn't see the woman dancing .. but after view it in voting (I gave it a 7) I kept singing Lucy in the sky with diamonds for hours ... almost went back and gave you a 5 for doing that to me (grin)
