<p>Happy Wednesday fellow Nikonista's</p>

<p>My effort this week is a portrait of my once cute kitten turned into deliquent teenage cat!<br>

Managed to snap this portrait while he sat on my laptop lid demanding my attention.</p><div></div>

<p>Hoping you and your families have a thankful day tomorrow...My entry for the week is a photo that was a first place winner for the Springfield Republican Newspaper (Western Ma) about a week and a half ago. It won the fall photography contest and was featured on the front page of the Sunday newspaper. I was so exited.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone! My favorites this week:<br>

Bashar's goose<br>

John's landscape<br>

Miha's carnival dancer<br>

Steve's Pittsburgh street portrait<br>

Ricks Paris scene<br>

Cory's squirrel<br>

and Maurice's leaf</p>

<p>As the days get shorter I'm finding that my journey to work is coinciding with rather nice light :-) I stopped off for half an hour the other morning and took this shot of a boat on the river Adur at Shoreham Harbour.</p><div></div>

<p>Lots of great photos this week. A few of my favorites:<br /> <strong>Jens Frederiksen</strong> - love the feel of isolation<br /> <strong>John Farrar</strong> - beautiful light<br /> <strong>David Janson</strong> - a very peaceful composition<br /> <strong>Maurice Orozco</strong> - very creative abstract with wonderful color<br /> My contribution is from a recent hike in Santa Cruz. It was the play of light and lines that caught my attention.</p>

<p>There is a great % of portrait so I'll give it a try. Nothing pretentious, just taking a walk on a beautiful day.</p><div></div>

<p>Great photos this week, I'm a bit late to the game but this is at Arlington National Cemetery with the late afternoon sun peeking into the columbarium during an internment. The time change in the fall is a challenge that means more work to get good pictures but also a chance to make great images.<br>

<p>Before I forget completely, here's something from the other day -- the cedar waxwings are back in the area, and feasting on the fruit of these ornamental cherry trees in my company's parking lot.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Thanksgiving to all, my shot this week is another from the Woodbridge Creek (NJ) series I'm working on. These are some recent fall colorings to enjoy. Nikon D200, 180mm @ f5.6 These are what they are, exactly as shot, I never change anything.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy thursday,<br>

I'm a bit late... Bashar, your starting goose (?) is fantastic, as is Jens harbour-scene and Simons captain - to name just a few of my favorites this week.<br>

I was on the baltic sea yesterday - starting early morning in really dense fog (saw some great harbor-scenes, but was too busy avoiding collisions) and arriving at dusk. <br>

Here's a shot of the harbor-approach-buoy - the light was very strange, a leaden yellow or so. </p><div></div>

<p>Sorry, I am way too late, but I wanted to contribute every week and yesterday was just one of those days - sigh... Since 'portrait' seems to be the theme, I thought I'd post this photo, which I took a while back at an Icelandic Horse competition.</p><div></div>

<p>Over the Thanksgiving weekend, my wife and I went to the central California coast to photograph costal wildlife. We found this sea otter feeding on clams and other shellfish. He (She?) is smart enough to use a piece of rock to crack open the clam shell. See the piece of rock on his belly? He would slam the clam on the rock a couple of times, ditch the rock and then feed on the meat. We watched that behavior over and over as my wife captured that process on video.</p>

<p>This week's thread is drawing to a close. I'll have more otter images for the coming weeks.</p>

<p>Nikon D7000 with 200-400mm/f4 AF-S VR, @ ISO 400, 400mm, f4, 1/800 second.</p><div></div>

<p>Great picture Shun. But beware, i hear they usually start throwing rocks at persistent paparazzi :-)</p>
