I can see why you went for the desat, but IMNSHO I'd rather see pure B&W or the original color (depending on what it looks like). I think this is because while the girl's kimono and obi are colorful, they aren't that colorful and she doesn't stand out a whole lot from the background. (I said this was my NSHO!) It' an above average shot. Good work.

yeah actually there isn't a whole lot of color other than the bit in the water and the towel and chair to her right so the full color is still nice. Thanks for taking the time to comment I do appreciate it.

This little skiff (sp?) looks very familiar ;), but it doesn't detract from it's beauty. I love the red amongst all the green. Is the far part of the boat blown out a little? Hard to tell. Nice image (bear?)

wow what a catch! I wish I'd gotten shots like this when I went whale watching here in Okinawa. This is fantastic!

Reach for the Stars

Just took a look at your other images too and I have to say there are a lot of parents in your situation that would tell the child that they can't do things. I can tell you aren't one of those parents and you should be highly commended for it. Sure the child has some limitations but too quickly people will become over protective and not allow the child to even think for himself let alone go in a tree house (I know you will have your limits, such as on top of the car, but everyone has limits).

Our church once had a women vist that suffered from this same condition (brittle bone?). She and her husband have been doing missionary work in different countries despite the fact that she was in a wheelchair and had had almost every bone in her body broken several times over. She was amazing and it's because she was given the chance to do it, instead of being told she couldn't.

Kudos to you and your family and God bless.

caution, useless information ahead...kind of a two fold triumph since I'm pretty sure it was the bald eagle that was recently removed from the endangered species list.

Very nice image with great detail and lighting.

Nice variety of mellow peppers, you need some habenaros to really give this image kick lol pun intended. I can't stand any peppers other than them now.

I like the varity of colors and shapes. The lighting seemed too harsh at first but I think it adds to it as does your outstanding DOF. Nice shot.

ok since I was the original commenter on the other image I'll go ahead and look at this one.

The grass is a lot better, it doesn't stand out so much anymore, well done. I like this crop and angle better than the one with more of the bike but now that I see it without the border...I think I like the white faded border...I'm sorry, don't shoot me lol. I said it added something to it.

Remember this is just my opinion and you should go with what you like best. I really like the colors and theme of the image.

I love the colors, they are really nice. I'm not completly sure about the border and fade out but it does add a certian feel to it. I also wonder if the bright grass could be decreased a little, maybe blurred or darkened. Not sure if you can reshoot it and try creating a shadow over that area also, just seems like a really harh line between the light and dark. Still love the image though.
