Thanks Lihn. Just one problem with my presentation. Don't know where my head was when I named this flower. but it's an Iris, not a lilac. Sorry 'bout that. 

What a great photo, fantastic color Julio. The pose gives me the feeling that this a married couple not speaking to each other at the moment. Regards, Bill

Can I assume that you are now training Lady Bugs Ellen? Can't wait to see it join the band as the lead singer. Great imaging, Bill.

Damn this is excellent Jim. Love everything about it. Regards, Bill

Incredible Linh. Just when I begin thinking you'll never be able to top yourself you did it with this remarkable photo. Regards, Bill

You have to be the bicycle's best friend Ruud. Most of us would just walk past oblivious it's sorry condition. Regards, Bill

A lazy, hazy day beautifully rendered Vladimir. Makes me want to be in that boat just chillin' out. Regards, Bill

Blue? Yellow? Silver? Gotta go with Silver Ruud. Please send my test scores. Regards Bill.

Another gem from the mind and lens of Pierre! Regards, Bill.

In every measurement for judging a photograph this gem is 7 in each one - a pleasure to view and contemplate. Regards, Bill

Like all of us who wonder what's going in our world, he (or she) seems to be frustrated by the fact that unfortunately there's little they can do about it. Excellent capture. Regards, Bill

Great! I love it. I'm guessing your subject has not had an easy life, but the fact that he can still wear a big smile should be a lesson for anyone who falls into the trap of self pity. Regards, Bill

Beautiful image Jim. I definitely recommend that this be viewed larger in order to appreciate the layered effect from foreground, to mid-ground, to background that that give the photo a 3-D like quality. Regards, Bill

Graeme, good to hear from. Hope the family's well. Yeah, don't know how long it takes for old pros like Chad that have been sitting it out for a while to get it back in the groove but he looked good in the heat and I hope he can give these young dudes something to think about in the next race. My guess is that he will, but time will tell. Regards, Bill

Seen a lot of amazing macros on this site Ali, but none better than this. Regards, Bill.

Simon, couldn't agree with you more. Exactly my conclusion about this image. If you check my portfolio you'll see the original in color with just a bit of post processing. When you experiment sometimes you find a gem, but mostly you don't. But either way you learn something useful. Regards, Bill

Thank you everyone. You're too kind. Bill

Makes me feel like I'm rubber necking a tragic accident Bob. I don't want to see it, but compelled to do so. Whomever first said "a picture is worth a thousand words" surely had images like this in mind. Bill
