Nice shot. These guys are great little fish. Did you know the dorsal spine carries a toxin?

Wow, wow, wow....look at the detail in this photo! I am envious. You can see the individual spicules in the sponge. Amazing.

Spectacular photo. I really enjoy seeing the odd balls and this one is no exception.

Nice photo. Looks like a Turbinaria in the foreground and a spectacular Dendronepthea in the back. I think the saturation can be pumped up a bit though.

What is happening in this photo? Why is this tree levitating? Please tell the story.

Jerry,

This photo is fantastic. Words cannot describe your talent with a camera. Just curious, how many shots did you take before you got one that was this good?

 

Regards, Robert

This is spectacular. Very delicate, I only wish the flower petals were a little more in focus.

Regards, Robert

Very nice shot of a very dark Amphiprion polymnus clownfish. I bet she was trying to tear your mask off!

Wonderful composition and lighting. Great job!

What a spectacular looking duck and the photo is nearly perfect. Great job.

 

WOW! You actually found and photographed Mother Nature. Congrats.

Excellent!

Very Nice Photo.

Larry,

 

I've always enjoyed coming across your pictures here on PN and reading the comments you and Wade made toward one another. Can you tell me what has happened to Wade? He's no longer here on PN?

Robert

Ummm....you have a lot to learn about animal identification too! I hate to break it to you, but this critter is a tree mink.

Fabulous, as usual. Good to see you back again, Jerry!

Nice shot! Were we standing next to each other?

Very nice! Beautiful composition and exposure.

This looks so familiar....I know I've seen this somewhere before. If I could just....

This is fantastic, GREAT JOB!!

Outstanding image!

Nice photograph, Phil. The composition and light is stunning. I don't think you should get worked up over the 3/3 ratings, we all know an outstanding photo when we see it and this certainly is one of those.

Beyoootiful! Look at the massive dual scoops for the radiators. That was some machine! 5 blades and the prop still must be 12 feet in diameter. Now that must've been a ton of horsepower to absorb. Wish I was there to hear the music that bird was creating during a high speed pass.

Nope, only 7. If there were more cyclinders behind (2 rows of 7 cylinders) there would be 14 total. If there were a second row, those cylinders would be clearly visible between the cylinders of the first row. In addition to that, if it were a 14 cylinder radial, that would develop LOTS of horsepower. Enough horsepower that would require a much large diameter propeller or possibly a 3 bladed propeller.

Nevertheless, Great photo!

Regards,

Robert

Elisabeth,

 

Nice photo of a beautiful machine. You might try counting those jugs again though! I see a 7 cylinder Curtiss Wright radial!

 

Keep up the good work.

 

Robert

Dan,

 

This is stunning! Nice composition and use of a foreground subject.

 

Regards,

Robert
