thanks Jim.....i suck at cloning things in the sky so WYSIWYG......:)

great travel shot entry Jim

that's some nice B&W post work

great light and symmetry in this comp Herman.....nicely seen and captured

what a pose.......great catch Trisha

thanks for the views and comment on this photo Trisha

thanks for the views and comments Patsy

thanks Steve......unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, i was the only one down there late in the day....and i'm not good with selfies........:)

that was a nice catch Steve, especially being out in the middle of the day...we have quite a few in the general area but i've yet to see or hear of one in our neighborhood.....hopefully i won't have to worry about our pets being outside 

thanks for the view Steve......this is a church originally built by some of the first homesteaders in the area in the mid 1800's. it and a few other buildings from the era have been moved and restored at this site by the Olmsted Historical Society

that's a great B&W comp Ken......nicely seen

nicely done B&W of your cat Trisha.....when mine is looking outside it's usually scouting for chipmunks......:)

in celebration of Earth Day

nicely done....it was cloudy here

the close-up processing is nice but i kinda like the original a bit more

that is some cool layer work Gail.......nicely done with B&W

they were in the parking lot of the 100th bomb group restaurant by the airport.......:) 

thanks Gail

sunrise....and the gulls started taking flight as if on cue when the sun started to rise

the Photographer's Ephemeris really comes in handy

yes it was and it was like 12F with a nice 20mph wind coming off the lake

it's really only accessible by boat or if the lake is frozen solid Gail......up close its in pretty shoddy condition and definitely needs some work

beautiful color and detail in the large version Gail......nicely done

great capture of those clouds Jim.....i'm seeing the same thing as Jeff in the large image.......magenta noise blotches in the upper clouds and some minor blotching in the lower area

that's a neat looking bird and nicely captured Jim.....i don't think we get those in Ohio
