    Tricky? I'll say it was. You have no idea how tricky: It took me 10 to 15 botched attempts (The guy wouldn't stand still ), and I still was not truly happy with it.

    To Petrarch -- I really like the cloud pictures! Especially the one with the girl, and the one right below that. Ocean sunsets are a special treat. =)

    Petrarch and Madhuri, I loved your photos.
    Niamh I really liked the first one.
    And very nice Reflections Claes.
    I would have posted mine, but I am facing some network problems.

    A couple of close-ups I took:

    Logos and Dori, your pics are both fantastic!



    Laverne, my aloe vera plant.



    Fooling around with shutter speed, etc to get the bubble before it burst.
    Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.

    I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.

    Thanks! I couldn't ask for more perfect conditions either. Taken moments before sunset.

    Niamh, I love your photos. So interesting to see where other people reside and what it looks like in the winter there. It is remarkable how much greenery there still is in winter - looks sugar coated. I love the way the snow has just begun. They turned out very realistic, lovely. I like that last one; captures the gray quality of winter. Good job!

    Logos, your cat is adorable. Is it a he? We had a cat very similar to your kitty growing up and he was quite large and had the same expression to his face. That photo is a prize-winner!

    Dori, those photos are extraordinary! What kind of camera do you own. It takes wonderful closeups. That last photo is just amazing. Is the first one bark and the second a pine cone? I like them both; great pattern and texture.

    Beca, I love that bubble photo. You should do a whole series of those. Interesting indeed. I love the name for your aloe plant - Laverne.

    I own a Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd. It has a setting for close-ups, but sometimes they don't come out right. Most of the time they come out brilliantly though, as you can see. And yes, the first one is the bark of a tree in my backyard, but no, the second is not a pine cone. I'm not sure what to call it. That spiky thing is actually at the very top of a 3-feet or so stem. It might be a weed, to be honest.
