Leo, I'm thrilled that you took a ribbon with this shot. If you remember back to our discussion over your entry as to weather or not you should change the boat

(which is also a fantastic photo) for this photograph of Dave, I said to you that, "I not the best photographer but I know a great photo when I see it

and this one of Dave is a ribbon winner!" Turns out I was right, now if I could only do that for myself :) I would finally have a ribbon of my very own. One can

dream can't he :)

I had a fantastic time on the shoot and will always be there to help if you need me, thank you, your a great photographer and I've had the opportunity to learn so

much from you in the short time we've been friends. You're generous with your knowledge of photography and patient with your teaching, your truly a GREAT friend.

All the best to you and yours.

MAX!

Hey Cole, I thought you put the trampoline away for the winter?? It's a good thing that your daughters are both dancers or jumping that high would be difficult :) I hope you do well with this shot.

All the best to you and yours.

Dennis, sorry to be so long in handing out the comments, but sometimes you just run short on time.

I have no idea why this didn't do better with the voters, I thought it had a wonderful down home feel to the shot and the sepia tones added just the right touch of nostalgia.

I thought your subject matter was great the lighting was spot on and the composition worked well, I scored it a 7.

IMHO you were robbed.

All the best to you and yours.

Hello Kelli, sorry to take so long to get to you for my commenting but better late then never.

I like the eyes and the angle of the shot. I wonder if you processed this in B&W if it would have been more of a hit with the voters?

There is a definite snap shot feel to this photo and I wonder if that was your intention?

All the best to you and yours.

When Snowballs Attack
by colorcarnival

Comment:
Michelle, Ah the memories... the snow down the back of your coat, snow all over your face, in your gloves, the hurt pride, not to mention the constant scene

recreation in your mind, trying to figure out why you didn't fly through the air like a plane coning in for a landing. Was there sabotage, was there foul play,was

there a sibling involved in this scenario and were they smiling happily as they watched this scene unfold? No matter, your photograph says it all, what ever this

young man thought was going to happen, how ever grandiose, came crashing down along with his pride.

Great capture.

All the best to you and yours.

Beautiful job my friend, your daughter looks so thrilled for you to take yet another photo of her :) Is this your oldest or youngest? Who knows one day I might even get to meet her along with the rest of your family.

All the best to you and yours.

Not a box of chocolates

Hello Deb, I know this took me a while but I've been quite busy.

This was one of my highest votes and I picked it to be in the top ten easily. I really love the composition and your choice to use B&W with the blue overtones, it lends a calming quality to your photograph. I think that your subject choice for this shot was smack on, I don't think a teenager, family, a woman, or even a younger man would have had the same impact as this older gentleman. One is left wondering what he could be thinking and how his lifes journey brought him to that spot at that time in his life. The Lighting and focus are fantastic not to mention your title fits to perfection. Congratulations on another top ten finish and I hope your able to run into this gentleman again and offer him a print I think he would be thrilled with it.

All the best to you and yours Deb.

MAX!
