IOW for Feb 20 - March 5

[Andy]

Hello forum members!

I'm happy to share some recent images from the Gallery that caught my attention. As always there are some great contributions and I hope our members keep them coming.

WayneS - Untitled - Those penguins are adorable and look like they want more attention!

deany - Red Tulips - I've always found that while there are plenty of ways to make photos look like paintings, it is hard to do it really well. This work - from the original picture through the treatment - really pulls it all together and makes a great still life.

cjt - At the Good Ol' (Women's) Hockey Game - This is a great example of what this forum is all about - learning and sharing.  It is great to see one of our members showing off what they have learned!

dandc - Hopes for a bountiful crop - This is a wonderfully sharp close up of the bee on the flowers with a great bokeh!

Thanks everyone for your contributions!

Andy, thank you for selecting my picture.  If I were getting a fraction of the attention those penguins are getting from "cute young ladies" I'd be even more adorable

Thanks ever so, Andy. One reason I keep hanging around is all the help that you great folks give us not so experienced folks!
