I took this picture from in the pool. I don't have any water protection for the camera so I was trying to be extra careful.

As always, another gorgeous shot! Your work is a real inspiration!

As I commented on my other Cyndi pic, I must say that Cyndi Lauper ROCKS! But, also, I was not expecting to be able to take pictures. I wrapped my Sony CD-400 up in my sweater & hid it deep in my purse expecting to be searched but hoping to sneak it in &, well, the battery died & i ran out of disk space pretty quickly, but it was a great show!

Cyndi Lauper puts on an amazing show! I was there as a spectator & left the Nikon in the car to avoid the hassle of being frisked & having to put it in the coat check, but alas! security was allowing flash photography so I was relegated to using my trusty Sony CD-400. Let this be a lesson to myself to charge the battery & bring an extra disk.

What a great perspective! He almost looks like a giant H!

I would perhaps dodge the eyes a little bit to make their blue-ness more pronounced.

I really like how the rays of sunlight serve almost as a misplaced shadow for the palm tree leaves.

Are there pickles in that drink?

Thank you. It was definitely a moment when bringing the tripod would have been worth it. It's also more difficult than I expected because the mist gets on the lens. But thank you very much =)

ah, from the pic, I was guessing it may be similar to an emu. Good point about speeding not killing people =)

I might have to find the original again & not mess with trying to change the resolution as much. While I still like the contrasting colors, I am not fond of the artifacts.

His ears are so strange because he's part lynx & he apparently wears that bowtie religiously. That wouldn't last 2 seconds on one of my cats =)

What's a cassowary? Is it another name for a chicken? Forgive my ignorance. The diagram on the sign is still very funny =)

 

Even funnier now that I see the "are you speeding?" sign. I should have gotten a picture of the one I saw that said "Free Speeding Tickets Ahead"

Wow - what a great shot! I'm suddenly not liking my own fuzzy caterpillar picture anymore. The colors in the detail are amazing.

This is my best friend's cat. He apparently loves to wear this

bowtie & he just sat there while I snapped a few pics. I tried

converting this to black & white, leaving the bow tie red &/or his

eyes green, but ultimately I settled for this untouched version. Any

suggestions?

 

Thank you!

Should I crop more from the top? I thought the contrast of the sky was good, but now I'm thinking the detail of the bricks may be interesting enough if I leave just a hint of the sky... or none at all?

Clearly my focus was on his shoe, just where I wanted it =)

I actually have to agree with you - the comments are more important to me as well. Keep up the great work. I'm still very impressed with your capture of the flag here. Quite jealous =)

I love DMB - great shot

I increased the contrast to make this slightly more interesting, but I am not sure I really like how blown out his arm & pant legs are. Also, the text seems too fuzzy. Any other suggestions?

Thank you very much. I took this with the CD400 & it was overexposed, but once I cropped it & changed it to b/w, there was something I loved about it.

Thank you. I wasn't using a tripod & the light wa a little low but I just kept shooting the same pic until it looked like I got one clear enough.

Thank you for the critiques. I too was amazed that such beauty could be found in Bayonne =) Another reason to ALWAYS carry a camera

I love how you captured the motion of the flag here. I have tried on so many occasions to do that. I would perhaps take the buildings in the background out of focus a little, OR (being a big fan of this technique) I would keep the flag in color & change the rest of the image to black & white.

I see this image has thus far been rated a "3" & I do not agree. I wish when people gave low ratings, they would leave a comment or suggestion. Maybe my eyes are missing something or maybe I just have a soft spot for Coasties since my brother was one =) Ahh.. unfortunately, it's not letting me submit a rating but I would go with a 5-6/6.

Great composition. An angel at the end of the rainbow.
