Day 1 - At The Rodeo

I love rodeos and your portrayal in black and white here is great. What really catches my attention though is the little girl in the stands with her big cowboy hat. She is totally enthralled watching the cowboy and his horse. Great picture!

I am not participating in this side challenge but I love black and white photos so I wanted to take a look at some of the pictures. I saw this thumb nail and thought it looked like a shadow against parched earth. What a stunning difference the full size image makes, yet at the same time, it is very close to what my mind originally thought when looking at the thumb nail. I would have to agree with previous comments that this is a true case of irony being captured in a photo. Well seen!

Great detail in this little guy and oh so cute. My only little nit pick is it seems to me that the main focus appears to be on the body instead of on the head...but it might just be me?

Especially after reading your comments that this is a live ladybug I give you huge kudos! I loved this photo from the beginning and thought it would score higher. I love the simple red and yellow colors and the detail is fantastic.

Even without the title my first thought upon looking at this photo was that this would make a great movie set. Very spooky!

So lush and green! And the mist adds an ethereal atmosphere. With the umbrella I almost would have thought this was Thailand or somewhere in the far east.

This would make a fantastic art print.
I love the path leading into the woods lined with all the tall trees and beautiful flowers - it reminds me of childhood fairytales.

Riding The Wave

I just LOVE the red on blue of this photo, not only the "wave" action in the rock itself, but the way the rock lines up against the sky. Great shot!

Gorgeous waterfall - the water is so bright, especially at the bottom where it hits the pool and with the light green moss against all the gray rock - beautiful.
