Thanks for your concern. I've lived in Minneapolis since 1986 and this is the safest section I've lived in. Most of the bad stuff seems to center about a mile up lake street.

I was approached by unofficial an neighborhood watch, and a nice old guy who spends a huge amount of time looking out his front window to see whats going on in his front yard. Good safe annoying neighbors. But when you mention East Lake Street, Minneapolis people from the suburbs get tense.

very fancy moon pod! I like how you've presented it here, like it's ready to hang on a wall. what attracts me if the diagonal line of the stem with the very multi-textured and clear pod angled for perfect placement in the frame.

This shows more detail, but I liked the border (just not so much black). Still, nice image.

Nice shot. I think the black border could be 1/2 to 2/3 smaller to make it less overpowering.

I think I like the other one better. Maybe something in betwee would work? Not as tight as this one but a little tighter than the other? I'm not a fan of grain... even when its intentional I don't really favor it in most cases.

That prickly pod has a hat on. Nice job. Really like the editing.

The "stair step" of leaves lead my eyes pleasantly up toward the unopened flowers. Very nice.

I think the processing works really well on this. On one hand I like the border but on the other hand I think ephln might be right about thinning out the black portion of it.
