Spider Day 14

Although closely related, it isn't really a spider. It's a harvestman of the order Opilones. They don't bite and they even eat Black Widows...and statements like the one I just made are the reason that my friends think I'm weird.

I really love everything about this image: the detail, shallow depth of field, diagonal composition and beautiful warm tones. Nice work.

That's smart of you to let her make her own decisions. Besides, she'll outgrow them soon and you'll be missing the days she wore them.

Very nice picture.. The desat is good in that some color remained and adds to the effect of the old pair of sneakers..

Oh oh oh. This is great. Be sure you save this (along with the story) and make her a scrapbook. This photo would be an awesome cover for a book. And she'd love it too.
When my son graduated from college I took a pic (on the sly) from every room in the house the boys rented. Then I took pics all over the little college town. He (yes even boys appreciate things like that) absolutely loved the scrapbook. With my oldest son ... the sarcastic one ... I saved all his IM messages and put them into a scrapbook. Its good to make memories for them of the good times.
I really really like this shot and I'm sure she will too.

I like the way you have cropped this - the dark windows make me wonder who is inside. Love the colors of the building. This would be better if the lighting weren't so harsh, especially the white door.

Beautiful colors. I'm trying to decide what animal it looks most like.. lamb ears, a heart shaped owl face with the big shoulders of a bull?

Great tribute!! I love the composition of this shot. Can relate to the shoes .... one summer I lived in spray painted blue gumboots.

Nice shot, but I'm not sure how this means "pure". Nice composition too.
