Murray River?

Medium rare please. I like a little 'moo' left in mine

I wish I had half their energy lol

We call them slater bugs - no idea why!

Nice DOF

OMG - you found Gonzo!

Awesome lighting, though the shadow under her lip looks like a smudge - maybe a tad heavy on the skin smoothing/noise removal ? And the stray hair on her forehead bothers me a little, but it's a killer shot! Wonder how long it takes to get all the sequins off lol

Lovely - I have 2 lumps please

Nice job!

Me too - the leading lines are very strong. If you cropped the top off it would be like mono in green

I alway said - don't put your apples all in one basket

NIce lighting

The verticals could do with straightening - probably distortion created by wide angle lens ?

Cool - looks like Dumbeldore would fit in as part of the faculty

Ha - and I always thought they joined tails

Lol - cracks me up! Peek-a-boo

This would look better when rotated IMO. He is beautifully captured

Bizzare!

Lol - at first I thought it was real too

Dock: The area of water between two piers or alongside a pier that receives a ship for loading, unloading, or repairs. (American Heritage Dictionary).

To me, this is a pier.

I like the choice of sepia for this one

Gorgeous - love the colour of the water. I agree with Friiskiwi about the highlights but it is easy to improve with a levels adjustment. (it wont recover detail though so you're best exposing for the highlights when hitting the 'trigger' button

It's a bit OOF, the green leaf under the bug seems to be in better focus. It is also lacking in detail which makes me think it's a cropped image rather than a true macro. I don't have a macro lens and have attempted to crop an image but the quality suffers too much IMO.

Lol - chewed his own head off

oops - the only nit-pick is the first bird on the right hand rail is missing its head - I would say that there was some movement from the bird between the frames that the program has been unable to align them as there is some ghosting around him and his buddies tail. IMO it doesn't affect the image in this size, probably only noticeable in the high res

Love the textures in the wood too

Sad indeed - I remember a similar event happening to a Lake near us which had been a favourite camping groung for many years. I think aerial spraying was the culprit

You painted these ? Very talented

At first look I thought you had some bad scratches on your lens. I assume the are infact, cobwebs

Nice colours too

The net itself is like an optical illusion - it could be hanging either way !

Author - perhaps you can try the 'strength' slider and drop it down to where the halos disappear. That's the only thing I can think of - like the alumiium texture too.

Yikes! Now that's extreme art lol

Neat idea - I think if the edge were anymore obvious you'd cut yourself on it.

She certainly is the crowd pleaser Trivia fact: did you know that you can tell the males and females of these ducks (the Khakhi Campbells with the green heads) by their tail feather. The ones that have a 'curl' on his tail feathers is a male Slightly off track there but I couldn't help myself, they are a lovely duck.

Sweeet

Bravo

Such pretty lichen too

Well seen author

Ditto

Greta idea - well executed

NIce 'catch' lol - it does look like a painting. Like the fall colours

Looks like a portal to the time warp

Cool - this one makes a lovely coloured abstract. Love the purples

Oooh - now doesn't that make my initial statement look silly This is a better one IMO, nice leading lines and use of rule of 1/3's .. & straight horizon

I think there is a bit much foreground grass - it has grown wild and taken over the rest of the image

Oh - this would have to be after a man used the bathroom lol

Are they ducks or swans? There had to be someone ask, hey

Yikes! You sharpen knives in the dark lol - just kidding, great image

Bike hire ?? ... they'd have to pay me to ride that thing lol
