Hello and thanks for looking. I have mixed feelings on this one,

anyone care to comment? With appreciation, Mary.

We all can learn from appreciating the simple pleasures of

life.... "awe......"

A face only a Mother can love... Input greatly appreciated. More of

The full shot of the below submitted. Any preferences????? Thank you

Basking in the warm sun this sea lion had not a care, even though all

those around him fought ferociously for a spot on the sun bathed

dock. This is a crop from a larger shot also submitted. I would love

to hear which shot is preferred if either. I loved the texture. Any

thoughts and suggestions. Thank you so much for your time and

trouble. Most sincerely, ~ Mary ~

The harvest moon in her natural beauty... Thanks for looking. ~Mary~

Thank you for taking the time to write and look. Best regards. ~Mary~

I appreciate your kind comments. Thank you for stopping by and saying hello! Best Regards ~Mary~

Thanks....

Again the drama, mood, color, light, beautiful. I think I might have been tempted to get my chain saw out at the scene and eliminate the street signs? Beautiful perfect capture.

Gordon, I know it is difficult to capture musicians on stage, as the music seems to carry so much of the vibe. It is often difficult to get a good angle and light. You absolutely nailed this one! tremendous! I feel as if he is yielding himself to the guitar and allowing the music to escape from his hand. Beautiful! Love it!

I've been away for a bit... Yes this frog is the same one I photographed in the other shot posted here. She moved in with me 3 years ago. Lives in my water fountain on a table in my entry. I tried to convince her she'd be better off outside but she wouldn't have it. She just went in to hibernation again. This will be her fourth since she's lived here. I read they only live about four years, so it may be the last shot I get of her? Wonderful creatures! The males of this species do all the singing, and yes indeed they are beautiful vocalists! Thanks so much for dropping a note. Always great to hear from you! I'm heading over to your page to have a look at your new stuff.(which is always a pleasure,) ~Mary~

I am so happy you liked the image. The moon can be an alluring subject. Best regards, and thanks for your time. Most sincerely, ~Mary~

I am somewhat surprised by the infrequent moonscapes here on PN.

Perhaps through your comments and suggestions I will learn why? I

enjoy shooting the moon. Hope you enjoy viewing it from my

perspective. With gratitude, ~Mary~

 

I think you had better go on tour with this series. Best of times! ~Mary~

You are absolutely right on both counts. I too prefer a lower viewpoint. There is another shot of this bird in my portfolio that is a bit lower. And yes full sun, such a challenge. I liked the droplets suspended in space, and chose this one for that. Thank you so much for your honesty and taking the time to share your qualified eye. Most sincerely, ~Mary~

A wonderful mystical Land. Thank you so much for your guidance and

help in developing this craft. Best regards. ~Mary~

A colorful character, enjoying the day. Thank you so much for all

your advise, comments and ratings. Most sincerely, ~Mary~

Truman is a great subject with those wonderful whiskers! The exposure looks right on tome, and I love the subtle softness around the edge. Great capture. I would love to see more of him. Best regards, ~Mary~

Ahhh the beautiful moonlit night. Thanks for helping me to see with

greater vision. All comments and ratings are greatly appreciated.

Most sincerely, ~Mary~

This was a challenge and a lot of fun to create. The focus was tricky. I used the AV setting and under exposed it to the nines, as it was placed in a sunny window. I wanted the light to fill the glass though have a dark rich tone. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I never know how an image will fly here, and that's a half the fun. Best regards... ~Mary~

I love your eye for this composition Lesa. It really pops! The lines of the canoe are great too. I would have liked to see a bit more sharpness there. But really, its great! A lot to be proud of here! Wonderful job! ~Mary~

Please take a moment if you will? and view larger. This is my first

attempt at still life. This is not a photoshop image. It is as the

camera took it. Although, I did enhance the contrast just a bit and

cloned a few speckles. Thank you so much for all your comments past

and present. You inspire me to reach higher. Many thanks... ~Mary~
