Opinions on greens wanted

Here are my greens. Let me know what you think of them.

Evergreen


Framed in green


Green as grass


After the rain


Urban green


I'm pondering entering the contest but seeing all the other green threads is actually quite intimidating.

1. You shouldn't be intimidated.

Yours are all wonderful! I especially love the frog. :hi:

2. The Urban green is my favorite, with the one above it

(is it a Hosta leaf?) above it.

9. Maybe a hosta

My plant recognition skills are not really worth mentioning so I'm not sure if it is a hosta leaf. From what I can see from wikipedia, it looks like it could be. Here's an image of the full leaf.



The leaf was pretty large - about a foot across.

Incidentally, like you, I personally prefer Urban Green but from the comments, it looks like the frog will do a lot better. So, unless I come up with something else in between now and submissions, my entry will be the frog.

10. Hosta ! for sure, have them all over my yard.

Actually, just between you and me, I think all of us could stand a little stretching from flora and fauna.
I considered going downtown myself, to shoot some Urban Green if I could find it, but I have my hands full with work for which I am grateful, and my files full with nature shots, and my yard full of tomatoes that are getting ready to finally turn red.

(and Hostas)

Anyway, your frog is cute, and go for it, but I love the city shot.

3. Frog first, urban green second!

:dunce:

6. LOL! Talk about green . . .

check this one out. Cross my heart and swear on the bible I did not adjust the color. This is what the Fox River looks like when conditions are (ahem) "just right".

And to think I row in that stuff!

It hasn't looked like that this season though - thank gawd!

12. Fascinating and disturbing

That's a truly fascinating and disturbing image. I know it's probably just the algae but to see it so vibrantly green is unsettling.

7. Frog!

Love that frog.

8. 2 & 4

THe frog is a terrific shot. I love the drops on the leaf and the depth of field of that shot. Really nice.

11. Intimidated? don't be

you are right up there

I like the peeling paint myself, there will be plenty of grass and leaves in the contest

13. Frog or urban...

Thanks for the kind words. But now you've made me hesitate. I'm now having a hard time deciding between the frog and urban green... Ah well, I guess I still have a few days to decide.
