All of August? Wow. That is going to be interesting. Love the sky and negative space. Interesting start.

My favorite, so far, of Day 1. That sky is marvelous and the composition is great. Very Asian in feel and very soft and happy and (from a midwestern US feel ... that's sort of a tornado type sky). But I'm not going to think about that because it is so pretty and appealing and happy too.

That's wicked. Love that sky and the composition is superbly well done. It makes me feel like I'm not far from a huge forest fire and the sky is laced with its smoke...

Cool sky on this one. I like how your composition how you have the tree off to the side.

Love the unusual hue to the sky; makes this seem otherworldly and more fragile, somehow. The tree has a lovely open feel to it and very nice shapes in the branches. Looks a bit like it's reaching out in this composition.

What a great idea and a real challenge for you.
I am so looking forward to each and everyday with what you present to us.
This one has an 'oriental' feeling to it, and apart from being and looking like a flowering tree, the background and processing, really does add to the effect of this image, with the 'sense & feeling of the orient'.
Keep them coming. A feeling of 'Zen'.

Thanks you for sharing this floral image with us.
Our journey has just begun. (Another 30 Days to go Lisa)

ps; I really do like the crop and composition of the above image Lisa, and also the way you look at what you photograph. You have a great eye for composition.
