Interesting effect. I like it. The sepia coloring is a good choice as well.

you made the story up. good one though.

You sound like one of those "cool moms" that all the other kids wished they had.

Nice composition and intriguing shot. I probably wouldn't have figured out what it was without your note.

I guessed where this was within seconds of viewing the photo. Not too many places where you'll find Apollo capsules laying around. I like the shot, use of b&w and slow shutter speed. I would prefer a closer crop. The stuff along the top edge is kind of messy and distracting.

This would have been a good addition on trekearth. Nice view of the falls.

Not quite in focus (or perhaps motion blur) but luckily not so bad as to destroy the photo. You captured a beautiful pose.

Haha very funny. Well spotted.

A little overexposure on the ice & lemon but a very nice (appetizing) shot. At first I thought this was kakikoori (crushed ice topped with flavored syrup sold in Japan). I guess it's a simlar but the jelly is a different twist. I would like to try this someday.

I have to assume you're talking Hong Kong dollars. You can't get much cheaper Japanese food than at Yoshinoya.
