dramatic sky and a well composed shot make this a very good image...the almost black and white with slight color adds even more interest to the image...but what I love most is the contrast between the crowd on the pier and the lone couple...I opt for the lone couple as the seem to be enjoying the moment and your title is so perfect for this...excellent

I have this lens and I love it...what I want to know is about the extension tube...with the flower so close, what is the reason for using the tube?
BTW...this is an outstanding example of light and detail...beautiful colors...I learn alot from looking through your images...again...beautiful

excellent presentation ad as I said it is your keen eye that saw this and probably it was then that the seed for presentation was planted...it has that silky smooth finish to it that is so much like a high gloss image...beautiful again

Well your equipment may be different, but your eye remains the key to your beautiful images...this is simply stunning...an excellent composition with beautiful color and light, it is the contrast between the more granular foreground and the smooth midground that makes this work so well...your work is impressive Jim...must see what else of yours I have missed...

I think you projected lonliness quite well here...a good composition and good detail...seems that there might have been overcast skies which add to the mood

Someone is quite adept at sculpting...good light and color make this image work...my only nit is the fencing in the background; only a small distraction...you managed good exposure with good detail in the shadows...excellent

It has been a while and I see you have a new camera...still finding some beautiful images from around the world to show us "Poetry in Pictures" seems like the perfect project for this...excellent as always

very nice dedication image and most appropriate to use a "Peace Lily"
good clarity and excellent dof...I hadn't thought of noise or dust as I know these flowers and their habit of covering the petal with pollen...excellent composition

Hi Don...great shot of the Goldenrod...frame adds interest, but I think you might consider a softer edge rather than a hard edge...say feather your oval 20 - 50 pixels and have it blend into the frame rather than such an abrupt departure...I think your background colors are right in line however...an excellent compliment of colors to the beautiful yellow

this is a nicely composed image and the black and white works well...good tones and light and nicely detailed...if I were to change one thing, it might be the angle...placing the camera just a bit more to the left places all 3 in a bit more open area allowing the linear aspects (poles and trees) to frame more...great expressions on all 3

this is an excellent composition with very natural colors and clearly the focus is on the snail...I like this a lot...however, for my taste, I think the vingetting distracts from the image...again, a great composition

nice and sharp with good light on the bottom leaf...composition and colors are good, detail in your primary leaf is well seen...the only area of improvement would be if the light area behind the upper leaf were darkened...all in all an excellent image

this has a lot of elements that make it work...bright colors to attract a viewer, good composition with a good perspective and a couple of good expressions that look like they'd like you to interact with them...excellent clarity and detail...the only thing that could make it a bit better is to bring your other passengers out of the shadows...excellent image
and many thanks for always commenting on mine

I like this version much more than your last...it has a good framing from top to bottom on the left and nice foreground framing on the right...the whole scene takes on a different feeling as we peek at this small home nestled among the trees...I never had that sense with your cropped version...excellent image
