Light week for images - is that because you were all out gathering more great images for this week?

In no order - I am commenting on each of the images presented since the last round.

Dandc's pink flowers - besides the striking color - you took an interesting vantage point.  I am guessing they are very low to the ground?  Nice observation

Dandc's goose family is just plain sweet!  Nicely seen and captured

drjoe's waterfall is so calming.  I love the soft glow you used in the processing.  It looks like a place to spend a warm afternoon.  Nice job!

Helen - nicely seen.  Would love to see it at night.

Jim's flower - how sad you didn't have a whole bush of these.  This lone flower is so pretty!  You did a nice job of post processing, just a subtle texture.  Lovely.




Clive's Owlet - the eyes have it.  Clearly we know who would win in a stare down!  As always, your photos are top notch.



Thanks for the small but wonderful photos in this round.  Keep them coming!

Thank you for judging this time Judy and for including my shots among your picks. The ice plant was well below the trail we were walking on and yes it was growing pretty close to the ground there. When I went to look up what kind of flower/plant it was I was surprised it was an ice plant because the type of ice plant I'm used to seeing is not very similar to this variety. The view from the trail was the Golden Gate on one side and the ocean on the other with many wildflowers along the rocky portions . . . this plant really popped out once I took a gander over the railing towards the water below.

Congratulations Helen, Clive, Jim and Dr Joe on your shots being selected as well!
