<p>Good Wednesday to all! Very interesting images today. <br>

Again, I spent the week without even touching the camera. So I have found something among the photos I made in Venice in May.</p><div></div>

<p >Happy Wednesday. </p>

<p>Mark, the photo of your daughter is precious. Good work...and, the other photo I really think is great is Phil's of his daughter, both excellent photos that capture interesting moments in different ways. The look on Phil's daughter is classic and beautifully caught.</p>

<p>I have to say that IMO this is by far the strongest/most interesting group of photos that I have seen on Wednesday, in quite some time. From long standing posters to newbies, truly an impressive body of work. For those people "lurking" in the sidelines and just viewing, I hope that these submissions inspire you to join in the fun! For me, the ones that kept calling me back for another closer look are:<br>

Monika- Nice colors in your abstract. If I worked there, I'd be getting dizzy every morning.<br>

Lil- Your timing couldn't have been more perfect.<br>

Ilkka-Beautiful moody photo. The B&W works especially well.<br>

Kemal- Well Done. Strong image<br>

Alejandro- You have certainly captured a sense of movement.<br>

Shun- Beautiful. I like the way you composed it.<br>

Janne- I love the coloring, it looks so peaceful.<br>

Aninda- I like the perspective, it's different.<br>

Tim- beautiful. It evokes such a feeling of looking into a scene.<br>

Ertugrul- Once again.....WOW. Fantastic shot.<br>

Matt- I took a look at the larger image and it is even better. There is so much to look at in the details, but yet the shot doesn't look busy. Well done.<br>

Doug- Very well done. Your work in Photomatix is wonderful.<br>

Mark- Beautiful shot of your daughter.<br>

Jennifer- Welcome to the Wednesdy forum and you are off to an impressive start. Your picture certainly tells a story. Well done.<br>

James- Looks like someting from a sci-fi movie set. Beautiful.<br>

Richard- The colors really make this shot work. Good eye.<br>

Lance- Nicelty done. The foot prints really add to the shot.<br>

Greg- Wow, talk about timing!! Well done.<br>

Until next time, happy shooting.</p>
