just beautiful. I love this phot. Nice reflection. I do think the spots in the lighter colored water could have been removed to improve the photo however. there's a few just above the head and then down below as well.

(I've tried this technique, too, but I'm afraid of getting dust inside the lens.) The lighting and soft focus are nice here. My eye is drawn to the pollen grains on the left. I think a square crop (crop the top part of the photo) would look good.

Very cool abstract, most people wouldn't know what it was if you didn't tell them.

lovely image!

there was a medicine puzzler in the NYTimes a few months ago, turns out the woman had been working in her garden, then made a salad, I don't recall all the details, but she inadvertantly ingested some of this plant, and nearly died...it took some time before they were able to figure it out. yikes~get rid of it!! Save this picture it's much safer :)
