Photographers notes:
I found this one looking through some shots from last year. It's candid. This was such a great day with my little brother :) The very next picture I took was in this same spot, only he is waving his crutches, wearing camo sweats, and holding a poptart in his mouth.

The hardships of life

3-WAY TIE FOR FIRST PLACE
Congrats on your win in the weekly photo contest with this fantastic photo Quimico Esceptico :-)
Photographers notes:
I like this image. Despite the fact that there are a lot of things going on around the main subject, e.g., the mail box in the foreground, the people in the background, I think they all add to the scene. Although moving in front of the puppet removed the clutter in the background, it also removed part of the hints that let you realize that this is an act that is taking place in the middle of the street to entertain turist.

Bridge into the Fog

3-WAY TIE FOR FIRST PLACE
Congrats on your win in the weekly photo contest with this stunning photo Tom :-)
Photographers notes:
Here's the second of a few from yesterday's rather productive morning on the Northern Oregon Coast. I specifically chose Astoria as my destination for the morning after reading the forecast calling for overcast and patchy fog along the coast. After Aaron's workshop at the coast, it became apparent to me that these conditions are actually good days for photographing our coastal areas. The alternative destinaton for my morning would have been Mount Hood, but overcast and mountains don't work so well.
A 64x ND filter plus a polarizer were used to drive up the exposure time to >10 sec for the the misty look to the water amongst the pilings, complementing the fog in the distance. No editing was done to this other than resizing and adding the watermark. Below you will find a link to the black and white version of this same shot. I think it is a very strong shot for black & white and was tempted to post it as b&w instead. But I'll leave both here for you to look at. My intention for the morning was actually to shoot some black and white.

Ladybirds on forget-me-not

3-WAY TIE FOR FIRST PLACE
Congrats on tying for 1st place in teh weekly photo contest with this stunning image nutmeg66 :-)
Photographers notes:
The morning started out quite pleasantly, with some sun - and loads of ladybirds.
Then the rain came.
Handheld, natural light. I took some similar shots, but closer to the ladybirds, however I preferred this wider view.

Against All Odds

FIRST PLACE
Congrats on being voted 1st place in the weekly photo contest with this fantastic photo Alexandros :-)
Photographers notes:
Αξίζει απόψε να φύγω
σε μέρες που δε ζούσα
Να θυμηθώ όσα να κάνω δε μπορούσα
Χιλιάδες σκέψεις μέσα μου βαθιά
Υπήρχαν λόγοι που δεν ήθελα να σε πιστέψω
Τις μικρές σου αφορμές να γιατρέψω
Πες ξανά πια ό,τι θες και νομίζεις
ονειρέψου με μα μη μ' αγγίζεις
Είμαι σύρμα από ρεύμα κομμένο
Σ' αγαπώ είμ' εδώ κι επιμένω
Να γκρεμίζω τα τείχη που χτίζεις
ονειρέψου με μα μη μ' αγγίζεις
Πεθαίνω απόψε να φύγω σε χρόνια που δε ζούσα
Τον εαυτό μου πάντα μέσα μου κρατούσα
Γνώριμες σκέψεις λόγια μαγικά
Υπήρχαν λόγοι που δεν ήθελα να σε φοβίσω
Τη μικρή σου ενοχή να ξυπνήσω
Τώρα πες πια ό,τι θες και νομίζεις
ονειρέψου με μα μη μ' αγγίζεις
Είμαι σύρμα από ρεύμα κομμένο...
