A stunning macro shot, Sea! The colours work together beautifully. I like how the front petals leap out in sharp focus while the rest of the subject is blurred into an impressionistic haze.

..perhaps a contest with all my WGD as the prize is in order? Ahh, it will have to be more challenging than this one..
This foto is in color, taken at late dusk,from underneath ,of the spray from a water sprinkler. I shot from underneath the spray into the fading yellow of dusk. I underexposed it by a stop inorder to get the speed to freeze the water droplets.

Matrix..AAH!..to click on each picture brings the best out..

The second one, with the ducks, did it for me. The shot elicited the " melancholy" that is autumn to me. Thank You! ( just an aside,,watch the water. Some of the olde school don't like uncontained water. As one put it to me,," its like the water is spilling out on to my lap."..)

I also really like the achieved depth of the fourth one. It made the shot 3d'ish .
Very Good!

We don't get Autumn here in the desert. So thanks for bringing it here. Its very much appreciated.

Thank you kindly for your reply, Lurch. If you're a surrealist, then maybe I was being impressionist (accidentally) with those autumn shots.

Speaking of surreal, thanks for freaking me out with those fragmented bird shots! :wink:

Matrixman, those autumn pictures are wonderful! I wish we had those sorts of colours here instead of the concrete jungle look.

I also really enjoyed all the various things around the houses and textures people have been posting. Unusual and fun!
I may have to try it sometime.
Here are a few from Mexico. I even took a couple of the sky just for lurch but I haven't had the chance to sort those ones out yet.

Gorgeous autumn shots, Luci! Thanks for sharing.

And Chrysalis, nice to see more of your pics, too. Have missed your presence here.

(Not to mention that Reave the Just dude.)

Nice shots, everyone! Hey, Malik doesn't look nearly as scary in person as he tries to be in the Tank... ;) :lol:

Matrixman, your shot of ducks on the lake is my new desktop background. :biggrin: Altho I wavered when I saw Luci's misty Kentucky fields....

Good to see some of the old crew back posting pics again. :)

The pigeon spaced me out, Lurch!!!

And thanks for the comments on my pics. Glad you liked the flower, MM. I'm pretty pleased with that one.

And Luci, great pics (and you look fab, girl!). I especially like your niece with the pirate hat!!
