I just connect with your photography. I love the way you framed the star with the street lamp. Perfect!

I liked your thinking behind this shot General. Clever approach to the challenge. I think you're the only one that thought on this level. Maybe that's why they call you the General!

It's interesting how the mirrors reflect what they want to. If it were one solid mirror, the reflection would be one solid image. Instead, each mirror square is doing its own thing, and you see slight variations in what is reflected. I suppose that means there was just enough of a surface angle for each mirror to be doing its own thing. I suppose this also tells me that I should never put up a mirror wall, because that would drive me nuts to live with.

That plant is also telling its own story. It always amazes me how plants reach for light, and do whatever it takes to get there.

Ha! Do I sense a bit of iron-y here?

Exactly -- the wife of my band's drummer had the whole house done up ...

I like the feeling of regeneration here.

You know, this still looks like a lovingly assembled collection that is brought out each year
and packed away with care at the end of 'the holidays.' It's a pleasure to look at it.
Doing this hand-held and manually was a real feat. You captured considerable sharpness
considering the handicap you assessed yourself.
In this case, the story behind the picture brings even more meaning to this composition.
Nice one, Paul.

Curiously pleasing assemblage of disparate elements.

Great scene/photo General. I'm sure you know you would have scored much higher had this all been in focus.

We cut down living trees to suit our mundane, utilitarian purposes. So this is more than a case of a pun. Having been a cabinetmaker, I still struggle with this moral dilemma.
