<p>JDM -- where is Giant City? (too many Y pixels too)<br /> On this page (7) I really think Paul's B&W child shot SHINES. Wonderful.<br /> Dean's 17mm giraffe is highly amusing and Rhett's child close-up is moving.</p>

<p>So many other good works on previous pages!</p>

<p>Illinois, southern Illinois, is the home of Giant City State Park and the scene of many of my recent crimes here on Photo.net. On the wall facing covered with moss, is a graffito from Fremont's Civil War expedition into the area - it may even be genuine. :) Sorry about the Y-pixel measurement, my Bad.</p>

<p>Comments for page 5, images that really caught my eye:<br>

Tom A -- super cute photo of your daughter -- a them this week, young kids and cute portraits of them.<br>

Mike S's B&W -- The Usual suspects ehh? Nice comp.<br>

Dan S's cocktail hour and lovely blonde (and the dude checking her out and the dudes drinking beer straight out of the bottle, horrors!)<br>

Christian -- super cute pose of her. Lovely.</p>

<p>No comments for the other couple on the page as they could improve here or there, but all are worthy, no doubt.</p>

<p><strong>Page 1</strong><br>

Josh Root - B&G Portrait - Nice use of available light.<br>

Jeff Spirer - Lady Boxers - Perfect timing, tasteful crop.<br>

Louis Meluso - Wheat macro shot - I like the gentle lighting and the delicately balanced composition.<br>

Mike Dixon - Band on stage - Nice light, good use of selective focus.<br>

Dave Collett - Purple flowers - awesome color.<br>

Matti Kari - Three Birds and the Moon - Very abstract and delicate like a Japanese painting.<br>

karen wiltshire - Butterflies - Nice mirror image effect between the two creatures.<br>

Nathan Gardner - Glacier Run-off - You made good use of tough lighting conditions.<br>

William Kahn - Old Barn - The placement of the sickle bar adds a lot to your composition.<br>

Manuel Barrera - Spider - Wow! That's a close-up!<br>

Matthew Hargreaves - For the Benefit of Mr. Kite - Intriguing. I can't quite figure out how you did this. Was it multiple exposures or is that just one really long kite? Great-looking IR.<br>

Alan Bryant - Speedboat - You definitely capture the sense of motion. Did you pan? If so, great technique.<br>

John Vanacore - Cheerleaders - Nice, clear shadow detail.<br>

Dick Arnold - Blue Angels - They sure are BLUE!</p>
