The light reflections in the water are always so cool. Daniel's shadow on the bottom of the pool exposes his hidden amphibian to the rest of us.

You can't go wrong taking cues from Wiel. This is such a great scene...a true portrayal of rural America.

This is really nice...emotive with sentiment. I like the space of this version...I'm allowed to survey the scene and discover the different stories in this photo and how they tie together.

These are exquisite portraits! You've perfectly captured the essence 'peace' and 'joy' in these photographs.

Yes. Very nice portraits. Used like this the Lensbaby is a distillation device ... it reduces the subject to the essentials, and yet adds something at the same time. A bit like a vignette, I suppose, but better (because it adds and subtracts). The interesting thing is that it's not just about the focus, is it? There's a lot more to the LB than that, as these portraits show.

Very nice, especially how you tie in the sky with the foreground reflection.
