Taken at one of my favorite parks. The late afternoon light was a

little harsh, so I lowered the contrast to give it a softer look to go

with the mood portrayed. My daughter was unaware I took the shot.

Hi Chan,

Thank you! This is one of my personal favorites.

Hi Chan,

I like all your sunflower pics, but I particularly like this one. I think that it's because I can imagine being a tiny little bug, and this is just how it would look to my little eyes. Nice image. :-)

Aw, he's so pretty! I think his cousin lives at our house, haha!

Hello Cezary,

Thank you very much! This is one of my favorites as well.

Beautiful macro work! I love how the bee is just suspended with no visible means of suspension. Very nicely captured.

It's hard to get a shot of these timid little birds. This is one of

many attempts. Tell me what you think.

Hello Afshin,

So nice to hear from you again.

Thank you for a lovely compliment.

Amanda

This reminds me very much of "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" by C.S. Lewis. That's my favorite book and this immediately brought to mind the beginning of that when the children are drawn into the painting and find themselves in the sea and rescued by King Caspian and crew. Very cool picture indeed!

This is so beautiful. I love the texture of the photo, and how the pink of the rose stands out against everything. This picture just drew me in.

Very nice capture. I love the beautiful colors, and the contrast between the fiery orange of her wrap and the blue blue water. Nice spray from the water too. I'm sure she is a beautiful woman.

Hey Liz,

Very cool abstract. Beautiful colors. I like the arcs of color around the drop too. Very nicely seen.

Cool. Looks like an Indian Goddess.

Hello Ahmet,

Amazing shot. Very nice capture. I like how you portrayed this poor little bird's plight. Where ARE all the trees? Poor little bird! Very well done.

Hello Ananda,

Thank you for your thoughts and comment.

Beautiful capture. I love the colors and the delicate white to offset the black background. I like the idea of a couple dancing. I can also see a maypole, with the ribbons dancing in the wind.

Hi Stephen,

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for stopping in at this picture as well. I like your concept.

Amanda

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for your interesting comment. I appreciate your thoughts!

Hi Stephen,

Thank you first for commenting on my Marine Corps Museum shot. I am glad to finally have someone see what I saw! I love this picture here for many reasons. Very nice tones, and black and white suits it well. I really like the two suggestions as well. It's a great shot.

Amanda

Natural sunlight and shadows. This was taken in an old storage barn at

a plantation.
