I like all of the negative space, and the motion blur of the wings. The square crop works well.

Very interesting, and have no clue as to how you got this photo.

Incredibly sharp focus where you want it. The dark feathers are not under exposed like I might have expected with all of that white. Beautiful.

The gradient in the sky is wonderful...from orangish to light blue, to dark blue to black. Nicely captured, Anni.

I see you're getting some mixed reviews on this one, but personally, I like it. Rich tones, and the grout lines in the floor add to the interest for me. I do think the reflections are nice.

It's funny that so many people have had experiences with the old bugs. I learned to drive in a brand new 1965 bug that I think my dad paid about $2,000 for. It was a really good car.

Interesting photo. I think I'd like to see this a little darker to pull more detail out of the ice.

Every time I see a photo like this, I feel like putting my camera away. It is sooooo good, and one that I would miss completely. Fantastic!

This really has the "wow" factor going for it. Beautiful in every respect. I sure wish I had taken it!

I like the textures in this one...the dog, the carpet, and the pillow. He looks like he's giving something a lot of thought.

Street at Night (b&w 2008 #2)

So far, this is one of my favorite photos in the side challenge. I like the way the street, and the street lights lead you into the photo. Did you use noise reduction software on this? I find that when I convert to B&W, I often get quite a bit of noise in the sky, especially.
