Madison Avenue Tree

Penny, I like the juxtaposition of the knarled tree produced by nature against the geometric lines of the modern man-made building. I would have thought this would have scored higher but I guess unless you PP the snot out of something, it doesn't get noticed at DPC! :-D

Congrats on top 20 Brent - I knew this would do well, and actually thought it would be in the top 10! Those Seattle shots are beautiful and you needn't feel embarrassed about having 3 on your front page as they're different enough from each other.

Poached Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce

Thanks everyone, for your comments. As someone once said "I suck at Photoshop"! I tried to correct the color issue in PS Elements but it didn't turn out as well I thought. The color of the background here at DPC made it look worse than what I saw in Elements (which is black) plus the DNMC police were vicious! Oh well, maybe I'll get better at PP and also make sure it meets the "description" as well as the challenge title. :-)
