Walk, Don't Speak

Well...

The twigs in the ground distract me. The bench distracts me. I know they must have been horribly noisy, walking on that snow. The shadows or footprints in the background take my eyes away from the ducks. It's too messy a shot. Too bad you couldn't have cut the bolts off the bottom of the bench...they distract me. Looks over processed. I wish the ducks had have been facing us. They're not symetrical. The footprints beside them distract me. There's a bit of a tilt to the bench...woulda been better if had have been level. They should have all had their heads going in the same direction...too bad you couldn't have trained them.

IMHO..........

just doesn't do it for me.

:P

Ahhhhh......got that out of my system LOL!!!!

Cute shot, Mich!

This one has to be one of my favorites.

I can see how "lost" this man is in his own private world at this point. Likely more lost completely but, that's besides the point. LOL The awkward position of his feet and arms, tell us that he is two sheets to the wind but, totally feeling that music take his drunken and very uncooridinated body into a "groove" of his own and within his own realm, seemingly either unaware of who is watching or, loving the attention. Limbered up to just let loose. The fact that you captured this moment so directly, has me entranced in this photo.

Sorry about your dinner! LOL

Beautiful shot, Jo! The elements of light and the colors from the light source are really gorgeous and just silhouette the single tree, making it stand right out! The glow of the low sun off of the ice/snow is just beautiful! Keep shooting shots like this. They really are beautiful!

Is she clapping to keep warm, hurry you up or just glad that you're done?! LOL

splash!

The force of the water, hitting the rock and beach was thunderous...almost thudding in our chests, drowing out the high pitched sreeches of the gulls that circled in the distance.

Beautiful portrayal of the sound of a crashing wave. I can hear and feel it.

Serenading the neighbors

A big instrument for a little boy but, given enough practise now, he'll grow into it with perfection.

Love the title as it makes me chuckle. I'm sure the neighbors are hoping he'll grow OUT OF IT!!! *wink*

Meow!

I WANT TREATS and I'm going to scream the place down until I get them!

Love the distortion of the face as it intensifies the focus of the meow.

Bark

Who's there? I see you! Just letting you know that I do see you. Call it your first warning...then, I leap up and run towards you, barking even louder.

I love that the face is in focus and the rest of the body not because it highlights the intensity of the eyes and knowing that it is an un-urgent bark...at this moment at least! B&W works very well!

Can You Hear Me Now?

I can't use words yet so this is the only way that I can let you know what I want. When I cry, you listen....I am heard!

Beautiful portrayal of a baby's cry and looks like a tooth about to pop through any day now so, it's no wonder there's some tears! *smile*
