oh...I like this picture a lot!

very nice capture indeed-what is this?

it's polystyrene. against a window. :)

I just love your work.

The way you incorporate reptiles and amphibians with dark tones and simple props fascinates me. It's like Harry Potter meets the medieval era. All your photographs are feature worthy. You are very good at what you do. I truly mean that.

Thanks, Thelma

Great shot! The subject and the off-subject are perfectly composed. The DOF looks great and sharpness on the toad is perfect. As Blizz said, the tones in this photo are awesome. Nice job.

Great shot with great DOF and composition.

Marvelous concept and composition. Just the right DOF too...and such soft textures captured.

Such a happy photo. Congratulations on your feature.

great photo!

Thanks guys, your comments are much appreciated!

I love this picture. As a child I used to have mice, rats, and hamsters for pets (never at the same time, though).

This photograph brings back those childhood memories.

Such a wonderful and well done shot! :)

thanks for your comments.

@vernont: i took the image in the german national theatre in weimar. i work there as a freelance photographer.
this is the first scene of the "walkuere" by richard wagner.

@grayphotog: i don't know, what they want to show with the kids. i'm not the dramatic advicer of the play. ;)

This is one of those pictures where you just want to know what is going on. Good capture.

i really like this. both for the background, lights and of course the kids, great capture

Excellent work! Very well done!

love this shot...reminds me so much of one of my favourite artists Gottfried Helnwein's work.

Excellent photo!
Beautiful tones and lighting.
Well done! :)

Ok, I messed around with it:

blizzart.org/images/squirrel-1.jpg

As soon as I opened this I absolutely laughed out loud. The look on that squirrels face with the nuts in such nice reach of the delighteful treats.... I Love it!!!! Keep shooting Carl, you're getting better every time I see you post.

Lol, not the technical perfect pic, but so cute and nice to look at.

squirrels are nature's ninjas!

It's an awesome pic.. just a bit too bright on the left side, but I'm sure you knew this :-p

Nice and gritty!
Love it. :)

i agree - great atmosphere!

i like it; inner city.

What drives this young girl.
Well she is getting my attention alright.
She really has that look going strong!

Taken in Tokyo? Nicely done.

Wow, this is awsome! She's amazing and even though she's trying to look so hard their is still a softness to her, great job with this contrast.

That's really fascinating !! Great one !

Does her head spin? :)
(just kidding)

What a great portrait of my type of girl.
Absolutely striking!

This is really good!
I love the character in their faces and the city as the back drop. Oh...and the composition is wonderful.

Well done. :)

Thankz! This shot was a very unexpected one. On my my trip to nyc these guy's suddenly showed up at Times Square and ask me to take some shots..

Gotta love unexpected volunteer street models!
They're the best. :)

Yeb indeed ;)

Absolutely fantastic. I love the light on the little hairs.

She's got the whole world in her hands.
Beautiful, abstract statement.

Congrats on the photographer and models ;-))
This looks so tender and soft - like cherishing a chick ;-)

this is amazing! :D

Thank you everyone for the comments. I was hoping by now I would be able to report that she now has her baby in hand but alas she is 4 days overdue and is convinced that it is a boy because he is comfortable and doesn't want to leave. :-)))
