<p>Ryan, you asked, "What would be the best way to link to a larger image?"<br>

Good question... You could just give people a link to a larger file. But even that's tough since your stitch of multiple captures could be a <em>very</em> big file. I do it this way:<br>

<a href="http://www.2under.net/0710EastmanLake">http://www.2under.net/0710EastmanLake</a><br>

This is the Export... Zoomify... in PhotoShop CS3 and CS4. Let's people look at a very large image without big downloads.</p>

<p>For those who asked, my photo was made by pointing it almost straight down over the top of a water jet of a fountain. Side lighting was provided by a setting sun.</p>

<p>Jeannean, thank you for your comment. I appreciate and admire what you did for many, many photos. Very encouraging and another reason to strive for the next week!</p>

<p>Jeannean, thanks for your compliment on my photo. And, most impressive of all, your relentless efforts in providing commenting on all these wonderful photos. Looking forward to the next Wednesday showcase.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=5189670">Jeannean</a>,<br>

thank you so much for commenting on all of our photos! I've been very delinquent in this regard the last couple of weeks, I am lucky I find time just to look and upload something:(</p>

<p>Jeannean, thank you very much for commenting my photo.<br>

It seems that these comments are like O2 for us, photographers.<br>

best regards</p>

<p>Having the time this week to comment on each photo was my pleasure. As I've said before, it's like taking a trip around the world each Wednesday, and I learn so much from each and every one of you. Until next Wednesday! :)</p>

<p>Paul & Jeannean, thank you so much for commenting on my photo. <br>

@Paul I do love riding through there on my bike as well, and I carry a camera for moments like this one. And you are right it is a small world. <br>

@Jeannean Thank you I am feeling much better, but still not 100%. And thanks to everyone else who looked at my photo.<br>

Have a great weekend everyone<br>

<p>Keith, your unidentified bird looks like a purple finch, or maybe a house finch.</p>

<p>For those that asked, here is a link to a larger version which I hope works. (Warning, 50MB JPG)</p>

<p>Ryan, just a word of advice. While it's nice of you to do that and a lot of photos are being ripped from this site anyway why make it any easier?</p>

<p>Jeannean, I don't know about Morgan Freeman but he sure looked like quite a character ;-) Thanks.</p>

<p>Ton, I understand what you're saying. I don't put anything onto the internet if I've sold it, if it has been published in my newspaper, or if either of those two things are distinct possibilities in the future. Otherwise, if I put it up here I feel like I've released it into the commons, and while I'd hope people would credit me if they use it or print it, I fully accept that, in a way, it's not mine anymore. Maybe you could argue that it hurts other nature photographers or my chances at selling other work. I don't know.</p>

all pictures presented above are extremely good.

 

:-)

 

Justin I am so moved by your photo, it is amazing, beautiful, and touching.

<p>Thanks very much, Tony. This photo got the most "thumbs ups" of any I've ever posted in the Wednesday thread.</p>

<p>Well - I'm going to try to do my usual comments to everyone. I'm at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada & all of my family are down at the pool at 7:10pm - - but not me. I've driven from Los Angeles to Las Vegas & got up at 6:30am & am not in the mood for a trip to the pool right now. So I'm going to try to do this as I normally do.<br>

I am extremely grateful to Jeannean for helping me out. But I'll try to fit this in as I just love doing it.<br>

So here we go.....<br>

<p><strong>Bernard, Alejandro, Ray, Jeannean, Lil & Steve P</strong>: thank you so much for your nice comments.<br />Also a special thanks to <strong>Lex</strong>, who discovered and weeded out the troll. (I never got to see these posts, but I understand I have not missed much!)<br />Lots of interesting and inspiring photos also this week, and I look forward to the coming Wednesday.<br />For me, this week, the image that stands out a bit more than all the other excellent shots, is <strong>Epp B</strong>'s fountain shot. Intriguing motive, nice lights and colors. Thank you for sharing!</p>

<p>See you Wednesday, guys!</p>

<p>Hey, did we have a troll on the wednesday thread? Interesting.<br /> Did anybody take a picture of him, I've never seen a troll with a camera.<br /> He must have a camera with iso 100000, they live in the complete dark don't they?<br /> <br /> I really enjoyed that there were soo many 'nice' comments this week.<br /> A while ago there was a comment that people shouldn't criticise any pictures or so.<br /> And since then there were not always that many comments.<br /> I really enjoy getting comments, reading other people's comments and commenting on pictures myself.<br /> It is a big part of the enjoying and learning for me.<br /> Some people might not like giving comments because that would mean some are better than others.<br /> And I do agree some pictures are better than others, but that is not the point.<br /> I enjoy the diversity of the pictures, cultures and stories.<br /> Not commenting on all is normally more a question of time and what kind of picture speaks to the commenter.<br /> <br /> Especially Lil and for example Jeannean, Richard and Benjamin should be thanked for their kind efforts each week.<br /> <br /> I won't comment on all, because then I won't be done for the next wednesday, but just on the ones that jump out for me.<br /> <br /> Mike C, Where is the grill of the car? nice shed<br /> Alejandro, Jeannean, Tony and Kim interesting plants<br /> Mike O'Day, Looks a bit like the model train picture from a few weeks ago<br /> Bogdan and Ertugrul, nice culture<br /> Darko, very nice double portrait, too bad about the bar close to her head, or was that on purpose?<br /> Matthew and wayne, Nice tree<br /> Dieter, great character<br /> Pedro, I think I already saw that one some time ago<br /> Monika, Great moment<br /> Chris Nielsen, nice light<br /> Matt, My favourite this week, fantastic<br /> Jeff, great moon<br /> Chris Court, iPhone, haha, Funny<br /> Sasa, great beach<br /> Louis, Scary<br /> Curt, Do you always let her carry everything?<br /> Ralph, nice kitty<br /> Tim, great colors<br /> Jesse, I like bridges like that, good capture<br /> Paul, looks great, to bad it is so small<br /> Steve, nice wheather<br /> Ray, nice mountain<br /> Matt, interesting<br /> Sean, the colors of these buildings are amazing<br /> Waldemar, looks like an old postcard<br /> Tiffany, That must be something like an AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection) machine that is inspecting a chip-wafer, there is a macro camera looking very closely with surrounding lights.<br /> Thangavelu, nice waterdrops<br /> Geee, there is more<br /> Uzay, VERY nice<br /> Barry, geee, the muscles and veins are impressive<br /> Aaron, nice, did he collide?<br /> Jam, he must have been on a break<br /> Toni, nice classic<br /> Ryan, amazing colors, 50MB!!!<br /> <br /> And all newcomers and other posters (except the troll) WELL DONE!!!</p>

<p>Closing last week's thread.</p>
