I can't say why, but this texture is perfect for this shot. It's adds depth more than anything else.

Fantastic, Roz! Love the effects. Her expression is priceless and the fireworks are magical. I feel like I'm at Disneyworld.

Indeed, what a monument to our insatiable appetite for growth and development! On the other hand I've always thought this would be a great job! If only we got to rebuild with parks and wildlife refuges instead of malls and parking lots. I like this shot a lot, though you've lost some detail in the shadows.

About 8 mpg, I'd guess! But when gas costs a nickel a gallon...who cares! Oh, for the good old days. Lets see, lets do the math here. 5 cents to five dollars is between 600% and 700% increase. 8 mpg to 60 mpg (at best) is less thatn 300%. So, relatively speaking the price of gas has more than doubled in real dollars since the 30's. Didn't you ask?

Hey, my mother had a Singer very similar to that, but probably much newer. I remember the folded up cabinet sitting in the hallway of our house as I was growing up. Great processing.

The first thing I did when I opened this was look for the rotation button. Ha. Then I realized I wasn't in photoshop at all, but in icu1965's world and sideways was just fine. I like how the colorful bottles stand out against that dark background.

Day 07 - Hand In Hand

Yeah, it's intimidating to get in strangers' faces with my camera lens (to me and to them, I'm sure). It's soooo much easier to snap a shot of their butts and hope for the best. In this case, you got it! Great composition with the young couple moseying down the boardwalk. I like the contrast with the older folks a little further ahead. And, yes, the processing rocks.

Day 09 - Reflections

Wonderful location for a candid setup. I've often thought of doing this with a tripod and a remote so no one would know you were taking the shot (you could sit a few feet away). This guy looks fully engaged in his thoughts. Great shot, Ken.
