Peek a boo- I see you.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Now that is the most innovative and creative way I have ever seen an uncooked whole chicken (or turkey) to make a frightening and scary creature! This fiery demon with a beastly head and hand eyes is not what you wish to cross paths with anywhere or anytime. Nicely done...oh I mean horrifically done:-).

The 'halo' is a slight distraction but when you get to the eyes of this cougar and and the ears cocked back in an aggressive stance - whoa! Dangerous beauty and you captured the deadly look very well.

Nice lighting that creates a mysterious mood in this shoot. I like how you both emerge from the darkness with only half visible and hide coyly behind the fan. For the subject of the shot, the lady is full of mystery leaving the viewer to want to shed more light and discover who she is.

This is a fantastic action shot! Great sense of movement stopped in one second of time - that hat flying off the one cowboy, the dust kicked up by the bull, the expressions all show how quick and heart stopping dangerous this moment was.

Beautiful pastoral scene with the autumn colors on the trees, the barn and the rolling hills. Very nicely composed and well done shot - could see this as a print hanging on the wall.

Love the pale misty light in this shot. I like the beautiful autumn colors in this landscape shot. Composition and exposure are top notch.

A belated congrats on the 4th place finish. Very well done portrait - love the smoke coming out of the barrel of the gun (reading your notes I just nod my head at what we photographers do to get the look right;-) ) The look is very convincing of a 'don't mess with me, get off my farm!'. Very much has the feel of a scene from an old Western movie.

I gotta tell ya - that dog is such a ham! What?!?! You want me to look off into the distance with a wistful look - no way! I'm going to look at you and play! There is the serious and the playful side of friendship and this captures it nicely.

Now this is a fantastic portrait of this beautiful dog! Love the light, the details, and hands down that head tilted to the side look of curiosity. Wonderful work!

Great light and detail in this photo of the wagon. I can see all the lovely detail of age and use that is on this retired wagon sitting in the barn.
