That is a very innovative approach! Eew. So many mosquitos and bugs, it makes my skin crawl to think of it.

Stay cool! If I could send you a puff of arctic air I would.

The dandelion! To see it like this, or as an alpine wildflower, one wonders why we spend so much time trying to get rid of it in urban landscapes. Gorgeous macro. Thanks!

Very intriguing portrait. I love the eye framed by the dark lines, and the lighting on the face. Really superb artistry here.

I've taken to using the sky enhancement too, in numerous shots, always noting it in my comments when I do. It sure does help the quality of photos, doesn't it. I can't wait to be there myself, in just 6 weeks!

I like the monochrome which allows the textures to be emphasized. Short depth of field is excellent here.

What a cute photo of the kitten, I love it! It is so authentically the cat. Stretching, and thinking about being fierce! I like the way the paws are a bit blurry but also enlarged by the perspective.

Quite a surreal photo, I like it. It seems almost like a graphic and not a photo. Very cool.

I love the way that we have to peek at the centre of the flower, that it is partly hidden. Very nice on the black background. Does the black background happen naturally or how do you get that to happen. It is a very nice effect.

I like this perspective very much. The pollen set on the back backdrop is stunning, and the red to anchor it. Really really nice.

EEEWwww! But thanks! That is a really cool shot, excellent perspective.
