Ok - Three flower shots in a row. All well done I might add. ;^) This one surprised me as a choice for 'Pattern'. It's hard to get past the whole item and see the pattern. The brain automatically says "flower" rather than "oooh...cool pattern". I get the connection, but I'm thinking not many voters slowed down enough to give this shot due consideration.

As for the image itself, I really like the choice of composition and the exposure is right on setting up a nice tonal range. For some reason my eyes keep coming back to that one curled up petal positioned lower center...not a bad thing, just an observation.

Anyway - I was just catching up on some of the members I have marked as favorites and was passing thru your area.

Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

I like the focal range of this image. Nice pattern with the carts and use of leading lines.

As for someone grabbing me and taking me into their office??? Not happening, unless he was 6'5" and 300lbs - then he'd still have to catch me! ;^)

Good luck on your next outing. He-he.

OK - This guy scares me too! ;^) Self-portrait? He-he. Anyway, nice lighting and composition with this. I like the way you've come tight in on the face (losing the chin and hair) to emphasize the nose and eyes. Good luck in the challenge.

I enjoy these woodland shots. This one is very well composed and fun to look at. One thing...those are birch trees, correct (if not - nevermind. )? I'm thinking if you tone down the blue channel a little the trees would whiten up some. Just a thought.

Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

Great composition with some interesting leading lines and ROT's. This is a wonderful abstract type image. Fun to look at, simple colors...works very well!

Upper Falls

I think you should have moved left about 3 or 4 feet to get that snowy hump out of the foreground and picked up more of the gap at the top of the falls.

Just kidding! Unless you're a penquin...don't think I would've ventured much closer to the water myself. ;^)

This is a nice shot - good catch on the water flow. Amazing, even at 1/8 shutter speed there is still quite a bit of action showing.

Very beautiful location. Overall, nice job!
