Wonderful shot you produced......it only further reinforce my confidence in the Coolpix 5400. Surely that is a close up picture right?

Open Cap Mushroom is exemplary, but highest complements for your success... to review every picture of the challenge. Every sentence is thoughtful! A daunting task and hard work, but everyone who received your words was rewarded with insight and encouragement. Each one is a fine model of an accomplished short critique writing style - worthy to study & emulate. Congratulations for your ribbon!

Ed,
Congratulations!
I loved this one and rated it as one of my highest.
What I like most is that it has an optical illusion to it. If you move your eye around in a circle around the outside, clockwise or counter, it seems to be bursting out from the page.
Great job!
Cheers....Martin
