I think if you could have gotten the 3rd duck to line up with the other two, it would have worked for the Things in a Row challenge. But I'm a sucker for wet birds.

What?

Of the two images, I like this one better. The softer contrast and softer focus makes the man seem more approachable. Good stuff.

Do I see a rabbit? (12/52)

Comment:
I do like this image. I like how he stands out from the dark background, and I like how he's giving 100% of his attention to something, and is ready to take off down the hill.

Interesting image. The old man reminds me of my father.

I'm guessing from the distortion that you were at the wide end of the zoom range, and you were much closer to these people than it appears in the image.

I liked this one during the challenge (I gave it a 9), and I still like it now. And of course it fills the frame. Anyone who says otherwise is a pedantic troll.

Are you looking at me?

Not bad at all...

How much cropping is this? If it's anything close to the full frame, you're doing great. Shooting from a little lower angle would get the bee in front of a darker background, which would help isolate him better. Another thing to consider, especially if you have a patient husband, is to get a diffusion panel of some sort (either a shoot through umbrella, the diffusion panel from a 5 in 1 kit, or something like that), and have hubby chase bees with you, holding the panel so that the light on the bee is more diffuse. With bug photos, it doesn't have to be a very big panel, obviously, so his arms won't even get very tired. Tell him it's an opportunity to bond. I'm sure he'd go for that.

First attempt at a panorama

It's still really small, even with my big monitor. I suspect this would look best printed about 2 meters wide.

The sky is awesome.

Parking lot

It's odd, I'm fixated on the tire tracks. I sat here for a very long time not making sense of them, wondering why they would have backed down the driveway, then turned around and parked facing the wall.

Then I realized that the tracks were from the previous cars leaving.

I like that everyone is together, but each person is in their own little world. I especially like the clump of cell phone addicts at the top of the image.

One thing I noticed that was interesting (not good or bad) was that when I view the thumbnail, I can see that you dodged each of the people. On the big image, I only notice the dodging when I'm looking for it.

Water drops with a twist (PAW 12/52)

That is indeed a very nice lens, especially since this appears to be a pretty tight crop. And you made the bird look like he was enjoying himself.
