Sweet!

That's excellent. Great color.

Congratulations on the well-deserved feature!

Wow Leisa, this is a fantastic composition. Perfect in all ways. Congratulations on the feature.

wow thanks guys i really appreciate the feature and the wonderful comments :)

im finding the focus on his forehead not his eyes which would really bring out this wonderful creature

Elephants always look sad and lonely to me. This is no exception. Wonderful shot.

Hey,no fair!
How could you not fill the frame with an elephant!
Nice shot with the dust and wrinkles.

I thank all three of you for taking the time to comment. I had to smile about Carl, feel the same like Andrew and think, that Leisa's comment show, how tastes are different. I did not cut away anything from this pic, this is just, as I zoomed. I thought the eye shows the heart of this animal, the crincles its (or better hers - since I know she is a girl) life, but I understand, if others feel different.

Thats the first thing I was gonna ask.
JUICY!

Great shot Sher. Compelling colors.

Fantastic! One minus....the frame....

Thanks Carl, Jason, and Andrew. The reason for the frame Andrew is because to me the edges looked too blown out without it.

hmm personally i would crop it so the rind wouldn't show... do love the red!!! ^.^

thanks for the comment duncmc. much appreciated.

i assure you there is no photoshop magicwork on this image. i shot it with a 200mm f/4 nikkor macro at the widest aperture.

Very beautiful shoot !!!! Really. Splendid coloursn perfect flower...
And great lens ;)
(like my 60mm Nikkor !)

Lovely colors!!

Gotta love this photo. The colors are great and the focus is pretty much spot on.

Amazing colour!

a work of art

Excellent pice of work!!

wow, thats perfect! i love the water drop!

Great shot.
I guess the reflection in the drop is post-edited.

Thank you all :)

@ Bastian no this is how it came out of my camera... only thing done is slight curves and unsharp mask :)

This looks like one of your film images Bob. Is it? Nice subject in any case.

Roberta, it's all digital, taken at Saratoga Race Track summer 2006.

Wow this is a cool shot!

Well done Bob in anticipation of listening for the bell i would probably miss the start...lol

This is the craziest thing I've ever seen. Fantastic!

Lovely car! I hope that in this car is a good rust protection:)

oh that is funny, just love it!!

Really great! Never seen this, just funny.

Ive heard of renewable energy but renewable body parts???? Awesome shot!

Nice shot, it's clearly that it was taken behind a glass, some kind of papparazzi, really nice job !

Fantastic emo this shot evokes.
Great pic!

yes, it was taken during a night walk thru san diego. this was a restaurant where all the guests watched football and beeing served by these "bunnies" you see in the picture :-))

thanks for your feedback and feature :-)

v.t.

HOOT HOOT!!!

hmmm but perhaps.. a 16:9 ratio would suit give it a try :)

Thanks Leisa. I've recropped and posted at http://beckn32pics.my-expressions.com/KimsExtrasindex.html if anyone would like to see the difference.

Oh, that so didn't work. Sorry y'all. I was trying to figure out how to place a link into the comments area and now you've got a bunch of garble. Here is the path for anyone interested.

Hmmm, now the link works. Sometimes simplicity is the answer. I just want to say to Brandon...you rock.
