I like this because it is very unlike anything I ever take. Like most other commentors, I like the skewed perspective from this view, and wouldn't change it. The people (and bird) add another element of interest to the photo. Very nice.

This is a nice scene...there is a lot to take in. I like having the chain fence in the foreground. It adds depth. I look forward to seeing more of your Liverpool shots this year.

Every time I drive through Arizona, I swear I'm going to get a saguaro cactus photo. There are tons of them around Gila Bend...ah, but still no photo. I like the silver tone you've added. You can really see the detail in the cactus. I, too, like the centered composition con los tres amigos staggered in the scene. Very pretty!

Brad, your candid shots are the best! In my opinion, this should have finished much higher. Great photo.

Your photographs are wonderful, and this one is no exception. The color, lighting, everything seems just right. With 455 entries in a free study, I think 19th is exceptional. Ha, I'll trade you...my PERFECT duck photo finished 241st!

Ha! I'll leave the poetry to Jutilda. Colleen, this photo made me laugh out loud...love it. The clarity in Yoda's eyes is great, and as always, the distorted perspective is a lot of fun.

Tracks to Nowhere

This is stunning! I love how the tracks disappear into the snow storm. The exposure looks perfect. I'm a sucker for snow photos since snow is such a novelty to me.

I a way, this reminds me of some of the smoke photos I've seen. I like the shapes created by the criss-crossing threads. I like this against the dark background.

I like the natural lighting from the back/side. He's got a great Christmas morning expression. I also like the bokeh from the Christmas tree, and the darkness on the right side of the photo.
