Congrats on the ribbon. Funny how Caden knocked Laine off your front page.

Congrats to both of you! Did I call the dancing banana? Turns out it wasn't premature! He resembles his father.

In my town, these toys have been outlawed for "safety" reasons. Cryin' shame.

Great photo. I love seascapes and this is a good one. Just an idea....I would love to see how it looks with a darker, more dramatic sky, you have nice clouds to work with on this one. The sea portion is very dramatic, with the sky being so similar in color it's taking away from the lower 1/2 of the photo. With the advanced editing on this challege you can do a lot with the sky to balance the drama across the whole photo. Very nice capture though. 8.

Gosh. Now I'm thirsty. This is a very visually powerful image, and one I find interesting among the many landscape shots we see here. I think it's really effective how the rocks are black and the sea is whiteish, but also bluegreen to give it a very cold feeling. Off to put some ice in my water bottle now... :-)

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.

Tumultous is a good word. Not for this picture though.
