<p><img src="../photo/9621172" alt="" /> Good morning to everyone. I have decided to submit a water lily image from my recent vacation in the Caribbean island of Nevis. It was shot at the Botanical Gardens where the light was intense and I decided to under-expose by 3 stops and anything that was left in the back ground, I used PS to darken it more. As usual, I thoroughly enjoy the variety and high quality of images already displayed and I will return to see what other images are displayed. Best regards,</p><div></div>

<p>As always, great work. I find this weekly thread very, very stimulating. I'll just mention the images that particularly caught my attention:<br>

 

<p>@Per-Christian, a beautiful image of a beautiful daughter. Of course, our energy and optimism is bouyed by our children.<br>

@Jeannean, that flower blossom is really unusual. Very nice.<br>

@Dieter, I like the composition, exposure, and nice lighting on the face in your candid.<br>

@Pedro, nice feeling in the chrome legs. Nice to find beauty in simple objects.<br>

@Ertugrul, really vivid color! Terrific.<br>

@Wouter, that's a very nice contribution, wrought iron and water.<br>

@Erik, I like the image of the apartment block. <br>

@Hasse, a great pub capture. <br>

@Sjoerd, very nice big bird image. The pair, the personality. Excellent.<br>

@Ray, the butterfly is fab. I like the really strong color with soft greens in background.<br>

@Paul, congratulations on your granddaughter!<br>

@Matt, the cicada skeleton is frightening, should go in a monster movie.<br>

@Robert, a gorgeous photo of Anabelle. When my daughter was born, my film consumption went up ten-fold. Great to see pictures of our kids here.</p>

<p>Hello Fellow Wednesday Posters,<br>

Great Pics as usual.<br>

Alejandro-Nice macro,almost winced.<br>

Bogdan-I think it is the car in the background that makes the picture look great.<br>

Great picture Matt-what I like is the way you share the tech specs,educative.<br>

Tony Hadley-Interesting way to highlight the subject.Darkening the background also helped in the shadows on the lower petals look more defined I guess.<br>

Now my own small effort.They cut away the building to make way for a mass transit system,exposing the loos.</p>

<p>Matt, that is a really cool picture!<br>

This week's contribution is also from the archive. It is a simple composition of salt, pepper and sugar dispensers. I took the photo in an eatery in a part of the city that is a bit eclectic. It was taken following a very cold afternoon of picture taking in nearby alley ways. The alley ways are part of a network in this particular neighborhood that is regularly frequented by graffiti artists and is colloquially known as graffiti alley.</p>

<p>Here it is Wednesday again .... and I don't have anything from this week. All of the photos so far have been great. I love this day. My week was filled with picking corn, tomatoes and other garden chores and I didn't get a chance for any photography. So I'm picking a photo from the archives. It has been very hot and muggy here in Western Kentucky so I spied this winter one and decided to use it.<br>

<p>Good morning from the capital of the nation WedNEsDAy'ers...</p>

<p>It looks like it is going to be a great day here as well after such a humid couple of days.</p>

<p>Oskar Ojala ---- Amazing photo....was it flooded or ?<br>

Justin Weiss ---- Natural light is always beautiful - great job. I had one great photo that I posted here last time, though it was taken by D80...<br>

Paul Nance ---- great one!</p>

<p>Here is my contribution from a wedding I did on the 18th of July.</p>

<p>Good morning everybody! Lovely posts so far... I love this forum, and especially for this reason!<br>

Some specifics I'd like to mention:<br>

<strong>@Per-Christian Nilssen</strong> - Congratulations, beautiful shot, beautiful subject. I love the sparkle in her eyes.<br /> <strong>@Alejandro Held</strong> - Striking! I love it! I can almost feel the needles... ouch!<br /> <strong>@Mike O'Day </strong> - wow... is that with a LensBaby? Your picture alone makes me want one. I love love love the gazebo in focus, with the focus along the shrubs leading your eye through the pic.<br /> <strong>@Janne Kaakinen</strong> - Gorgeous composition. Lovely colors. This is top notch! Congratulations.<br /> <strong>@Dieter Schaefer</strong> - Awesome candid shot. I love the hand-rolled cigarette.<br /> <strong>@Oskar Ojala </strong> - Where in the world did you see that? Haha<br /> <strong>@Wayne Wrights</strong> - Love the colors and the compression of the foreground and background. It works with the layers very well here. Also, I really like how the sun seems to be set in line with the vees the hills make. Really well done.<br /> <strong>@Paul Nance</strong> - Congratulations! She's already got quite a lot of hair!<br /> <strong>@Matt Laur</strong> - I look forward to every one of your posts, and this one is no exception. The only downside is now I can't post my cicada shot as it pales in comparison! Thank you for the detailed description as well.<br /> <strong>@Scott Pogorelc</strong> - I was down in Athens GA several years ago and they were playing their hometown. Unfortunately, there were no tickets available! Looks like it was a great time.<br /> <strong>@Elliot Bernstein</strong> - Wow, very nice! I'm surprised the surface isn't more rippled than it is.<br /> <strong>@Justin Weiss</strong> - What striking blue eyes! Well done on capturing the moment and expression there.</p>

<p>This was taken at the Headhouse Farmer's Market in Old City Philadelphia. They had a most amazing selection of fruit... I had to get some. :)</p>

<p>Good Wednesday to all,<br>

This week I would like some assistance in identifying the bird in the included photo. Its' markings don't quite match any of the pictures in my field guides so I am not 100% sure what it is. I am thinking it may be a purple finch. Any ideas? Shot with a D80 and 70 - 300 VR at ISO 400 handheld, VR on, 300mm @f5.6, not the sharpest way to take a picture but what the conditions required.<br>

<p>Hello Everyone, Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday. What a great bunch of shots so far! Since I have been under the weather, I have not had a chance to shoot. So my piece is from a few months back. It was taken a little while after the sun rose. Enjoy Jesse</p>

<p>First time posting, I have been following this forum for some time now and am always so inspired by the quality and the breadth of talent.<br>

Hasse, love the sense of place that you evoke.<br>

Elliot, very nice composition<br>

Curt, I feel like I am right there with the hikers.<br>

Photo was taken a couple of weeks ago on a father daughter trip to Colorado, Rocky Mountain National Park.</p><div></div>
