A very imaginative and forceful use negative conversion to render such a moody view of a simple egg shell.Well done Ninfa:-)

Amazing shot that provides us with a window into an ostrich activity that I never would have imagined possible.Thanks for the glimpse into this unknown world.

Well composed presentation Robert.The curved line of the stem holding the suspended bleeding hearts is very effective.

A lovely blast of summer brightness Joan...a nice pattern arrangement.

What a wonderful opportunity shot with all four generations gathered together:-)
Ta mere a l'air beaucoup plus jeune que 79 ans!
Jeppe did a good job on the eyes in his workshop.But Nina...why didn't you say "cheese" ? :-)

Glad to see you accepted the "calling" Tim...wonderfully composed with vivid precision of the bee's approach to his aromatic feast of pollen.

The story makes the shot Howie...a man to be respected for his secrets of longevity.I must look into onions as a cash crop:-)

The desaturation suits this composition very well Manny....it transfers a little more life into this frail woman.Perhaps she has now crossed another bridge into another world.

Welcome to TL Rye:-)
I can remember taking a few shots like this as well ....it is an impressive view being under a tree.
I think the impression of the tree's huge size compared to the worm could have been made stronger if you had layed down closer to the trunk for you upward capture.I have tried to simulate what I mean in a workshop version using distortion.
