Linda: That's just so true - here was this beautiful basin area in the river and on the side was this disaster. It's just a shame that people won't make the extra (though minimal) effort to place this stuff where it belongs.

Another view of trash on the water.. Makes a cluttered but

interesting sight of how we all live. Comments or thoughts

appreciated.

Thank you for your comments -- I agree the name should change - elegance and scum don't seem to go together.

 

 

Eduardo, Robert, Richard, Rabinder & Lavida - thank you for your kind words and comments. It often amazes me how something so mondane can turn into a work of art.

Overlooking an area of stagnent water I noticed the scum appeared

like branches of a tree - the leaves on the water just add to

illusion. Comments of any type appreciated.

Linda:

 

I like the composition of this shot but am a little set back by the lit letters that appear so bright. Otherwise I love the coloring especially the background. For the heck, you will see I've rated a 7/7 just to see if it would go thru since Roger said you couldn't do it anymore. In reality I'd have to go with a 5/6.

Changed in PS - comments or suggestions appreciated.

Linda:

 

This shot is truly wonderful - framing is perfect but the composition itself is better... another nice job.

 

Thank you for your comment - just thought I'd try something different or at least different for me.

 

The photo itself is as taken but added the bouquet in muted color.

Any thoughts or comments about this would be appreciated. I'm

obviously not a wedding photographer but an invitee.

I like that idea - would add a different twist to it now wouldn't it. Little comments like that are appreciated since it gives you ideas on exploring alternatives.

Linda: When I first looked at this in its small version it appeared you were shooting the sky thru a rock formation. Obviously once reading the description and seeing it in a larger version I understood this wonderful shot. As usual you capture the unique. Bravo!

Thought this made an interesting concept - a simple, worn out yellow

line painted years ago on the boardwalk. Comment or suggestions for

improvement anyone?

Roger:

 

Have to agree with other comments - there should be really no reason for the 3/3's on this shot or at least not without and explaination. Maybe it's not someones particular taste but still..... Many time I wish that PN would require a comment along with a rating - then at least you'd have some idea what's in their minds.

 

Now, my photo "Newsies" - well I kind of expected the 3/3's but then was shocked at the 7/7. Don't know why folks do what they do -- At least I alway try to be as honest (IMHO) as I can when I rate and I would give this one a 5/6.

 

 

Comments, critiques, suggestions welcomed.

Obviously this is a secret code - not known to all -- for you see there is a five then missing "one" five and a "five" 5-15... Hmmmmmm = Family secret??

Nice picture...again.

Linda:

The sepia tone on this shot really makes the picture in my opinion. It's so better defined than the original color. Nice job as usual. See you soon back in the states.

 

Linda:

 

This is really a nicely detailed shot. Wonderful how you even managed to get the bug to pose. I wonder though if a shot like this might be better in a color and not a black and white. While the shot of the rocky shore was spectacular in B&W this appears to me to need something else. Forgive me for posting an alternative here but it's only a thought and idea.

Truly an awsome shot here Roger. I've never had success capturing rainbows, guess I'll just have to keep searching for that pot of gold. Wonderful job as usual.

Hmmm: I noticed you also managed to catch the "Z" how interesting - anyone in the family make this? This is a really cool image that I'd bet would look even better at a larger scale. Nice work!

CJ: Thank you for the remark especially from someone who's pictures I enjoy very much.

Becky: Thank you for your comment, much appreciated.

Interested in the color glow and shape of lights in the lobby of the

casino and thought it might be an interesting shot. Comments or

suggestions always appreciated.

CJ: Personally I think this is a truly wonderful shot and really captured the feeling of the moment. This shot places you right there with the look and and feel of a cold, dank day. Well done.

Linda: I always appreciate your comments and adjustments. It's the little things that you pick up that always add to the element of a photo. Thanks for the note.
