I agree with all the comments made (love jutilda's) You have created a perfect photo to make up a story about .. the lighting, textures and colors are all wonderfully done. That one light on the fence adds such a layer of mystery to this shot - great composition.

I love the drama in the sky which you so improved on - the sepia vignette you added really makes that sun pop leaving me with the feeling that the title - one more month of summer is said more in a tone of relief than regret.

What a great use of overlays/textures - whatever you used - I am here to learn because I really don't understand much about applying such to make such fantastic photos.

As jagar has commented, this was a great photo before you did anything but now, it is a fantastic one. The reflection the tonal range, the composition - so well done.

Amazing to me what a quality ( coupled with your talent ) photo you took with an iPhone - but the crowning touch is the overlay of the window .. your use of it suits it so well - it really does look ( as jutilda commented ) as if you were taking the shot through your window or making the viewer feel as if they were looking through the window.

In the thumb, my quick glance made me think it was a fairly normal shot of a daisy - and then- voila, you click on it and are amazed - almost looks like a painting by a frenzied artist working out her/his frustration .. then there is the number and the word off .. my mind tries to attach meaning to that .. love the deep sepia color peeking out at the bottom .. thank you for the story.

What a treat to open it up to full size .. I love the way the bee is pointed at the fly .. obviously angry at the fly's audacity at stealing his flower (well that's the story I get lol) I really like the bokeh effect especially the bottom left, the muted colors add to the overall beauty and delicacy of your composition. Great use of the layer, thanks for the link and the explanation of how you used it.

Ohh.. this one takes my breath away .. mystery and beauty and poetry all wrapped up in one photo ... I wish I knew how you did this .. one day I would love to be able to produce something so ethereal.

What a great edit .. the feathers of the turkey make such an interesting pattern - you turned what could have been on OK shot into a spectacular one.
