Love the sentiment. The green one seems slightly out of focus, as does the drop. The negative space is well used and I like the dead and living leaf. Clever take, but I wish it was tack sharp. 7

Wow, a really creative interpretation of the challenge. Beautiful, well taken. Great light. I'm thankful that someone could get past the obvious.

Originally posted by SJCarter: Wonderful choice of shots for the scripture selection. However, I think that your choice of fonts may be a little large and cumbersome for the subject matter in this particular case (just my humble opinion!). I think that if you were to select a slightly smaller and more delicate font for the text, the message might come across more favorably. Again, this is just my two cents.

You know, I thought about that and tried it. However there is so much going on in the photo that smaller fonts really get lost. Maybe a different style would work better, Keeping the size. Thanks for taking the time to comment Jimmy.

Historic Homes Trio

Comment by SJCarter:
Very nice triptych of the style of homes in the area. I like your choice of crops and subjects too - very conducive to the medium. Great showcase of color, detail, and textures for this particular presentation. Great job. My only minor suggestion would be that the middle shot could use a touch more contrast, as it loses a little detail in the lighter areas.

I don't know how I overlooked this shot in your Portfolio before... It is by far one of my favorites! What wonderful playful colors and fun composition! Great job on editing/processing here! LOVE IT! Nice to see you let your hair down (so to speak). :-) Great stuff!

Balloon Overhead (1.25 ratio)

note the artifacts on the upper left corner of the photo (above the baloon). there are also more on the baloon itself, on the lower- right areas. can you see them? can they be removed?
