<p>Mark G - very nice.<br /> Benjamin S. - is that one of those 'really stinky' beetles?</p>

<p>Dogs are one of my favorite subjects. My neighbor's Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie/?? cross had some pups recently. Here's a Puppy Pile-up. Playing with my SB900 mounted on-camera. Rear curtain slow.</p><div>00VWxE-211173884.JPG.383c87d721520546b78b0bc200cb810a.JPG</div>

<p>Great collection of images this week - and so glad to get back into it after a few weeks off. I have many favourites but 3 stand out in particular from Monika, Richard and Filip - all strong, simple compositions that are wonderfully executed.</p>

<p>Thanks also for the praise received of my Petra shot. I feel embarassed as all I had was a jpg conversion of the unprocessed as-shot RAW sitting on my PC, and I did what I could with 5 minutes in the rudimentary Microsoft Office image application is (yuk!... but I was on my work laptop with no decent photo editing software loaded) and put it up. Such is my desire to be a regular part of this wonderful thread.</p>

<p>I really enjoyed my "trip around the world" this week. So many wonderful photos! I enjoyed each one, but especially <strong>Rick's</strong> dolphin in the wild. Such beautiful, wonderful creatures, and sad that so much harm comes to them for our entertainment. A real pleasure to see one frolicking in it's natural environment. Thank you Rick! (I highly recommend "The Cove" documentary for a background story of capturing dolphins for human entertainment). I admit to being partial to wildlife/nature photos, but all are wonderful, enjoyed, and a learning experience. Looking forward to this coming Wednesday!</p>

<p >Great to see <strong >David Ralph</strong>, <strong >John Mita</strong>, <strong >Joe Moree</strong> and <strong >Tomo Sato</strong> post their first images.</p>

<p > </p>

<p >Just some of the many shots I enjoyed from an increasing selection of variety:</p>

<p ><strong >Andrew Fedon</strong>, (nice view and geometry of the plane)</p>

<p ><strong >Bogdan Nicolescu</strong>, (great angle of view on the fisherman)</p>

<p ><strong >Ertugrul Kilic</strong>, (great spontaneity and as Ton Mestom might say if he is watching, have you considered B&W?)</p>

<p ><strong >Filip Lucin</strong>, (great reflection and tones)</p>

<p ><strong >Gary McGhee</strong>, (nice form and colour in snow covered pines)</p>

<p ><strong >Grant Tanner</strong>, (great natural framing of the bird)</p>

<p ><strong >Greg Kowalczewski</strong>, why did I post that? (But the story is true)</p>

<p ><strong >Janna Hughes,</strong> (great shot in B&W – my son is not allowed to be curious with any key, especially the ones to the car)</p>

<p ><strong >Jeff Lipsman,</strong> (great viewpoint – my immediate reaction was some sort of “tribal dance”)</p>

<p ><strong >Jon Eckman</strong>, (textured ground versus sharp reflection all beautifully captured)</p>

<p ><strong >Kent Shafer</strong>, (classical dog composition, especially the way you have captured the eye)</p>

<p ><strong >Matt Laur</strong>, (enjoyed the action in the shot and the story)</p>

<p ><strong >Matthew Brennan</strong>, (super shot – I also like the other shots you have posted of this bird, good series)</p>

<p ><strong >Paul V. Gorky</strong>, (especially interaction between the green against the predominately orange brown composition).</p>

<p ><strong >Paula Wang</strong>, (like the way you framed the drop)</p>

<p ><strong >Phil Burt</strong>, (interesting portrait, especially the eyes)</p>

<p ><strong >Richard Armstrong</strong>, (mist, shadow, sunshine – it’s got a bit of everything. It reminds me of those days where nature is undecided about whether it will rain or shine)</p>

<p ><strong >Shun Cheung</strong>, (a nice composition where the surfer looks in complete control, at this point)</p>

<p ><strong >Tiffany Brook,</strong> (great composition and eye contact but I must confess to having already seen this in an earlier WedNEsDAy PiC – if the composition wasn’t this memorable I would certainly not have remembered the earlier post)</p>

<p>Great batch of photos again everyone!<br>

I especially liked the photos by Eric James, Oskar Ojala, Kent Shafer, Murali Palangat, Adrian Oostermeijer, Andrew Fedon, Dave Greenidge, Thomas Burden & Filip Lucin among the photos by my usual favorite Nikon shooters here. :) And thanks for Gej Jones & Jeannean for your comments.</p>

<p>See you all tomorrow!</p>
