Okay amazing photo dude. I have a new name for this image. How about Chickadee and Chickadoo. Chickadee is the girl building and Chickadoo is the boy building.

Ok.... I am imagining just what position you were in when you took this picture. Flat on your back? What a wonderful perspective, not only up but angled. The color is remarkable and the composition & exposure is perfect. Wonderful! I'm not giving you a 7/7, not because you don't deserve it, I fear I have given you more than PN allows in 7/7 and mine might be deleted as the rating police monitor the ratings. So how about 7/6? Maybe it will stick! But definately a 7/7 in my book.

Maybe I should just visit Chi Town instead of live here so I can find shots as good as this. You are showing up the natives on this one Wilson. Great as usual!

JAYME: Again the advantage of a digital compact's flip screen comes in to play. I attached a wide angle adapter to the tabletop tripod mounted Canon A80, placed the combo on the ground, aimed it skyward while composing with the flip screen, and fired with the 2-sec self-timer. As for the rate, don't worry about it. I'd say whatever one feels like rating, go right ahead. ^_^

 

CALVIN: Thanks.

 

ALEJANDRO: Gracias.
