1. I am in the process of telling a friend to not drive to Biltmore House in your city
tomorrow, your photo tells me that would be a wise cancellation.
I am scrambling to FIND an alternative for my entry (I just posted one with feedback requested) because NOBODY likes around here likes it, or its title.

So, suddenly I have a number of them, and I'll post if nobody else will, a little later.
:rofl:

I'm going over to the comment thread to check.

4. I like grounded
I thought about fog pics, but most of mine were nowhere near as "white" as yours.

12. I love "Grounded" for the
illusion of infinity... makes me think of a part in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" (Chronicles of Narnia)with Reepicheep (or maybe is was The Last Battle??)... anyways, like the illusion

18. Haha
Just kidding, I sympathize.

Now I am thinking about changing mine to Bales, even though nobody has commented on it.

I love White, Past Tense, ever since you took the boarded up window out of it.

19. I like the bird.
But I see what you mean. Bales is different, wonderful perspective and composition, not to mention lots of white.

sigh. This is a tough one, isn't it?

All excellent submissions, again! Mz Pip, Grounded is excellent. Mira, you always come through too. Love your shots from my home state. Thanks.



Poor lighting


Not enough white?

29. I love
Grill thermo. I always enjoy photos that have an abstract feel to them. It's a photo that makes me look at it again and again.

27. All I can do is laugh about that! Did YOU kick him in the family jewels?
His chest looks like a huge second face. eye sockets, a long nose with the nostrils touching the forearms.
I think this is not a failure, this is a study in...

"caption please".

32. I can see the beautiful girl and also the third one, the snow,
doing well. I think the second one does not have enough to fascinate IMO. The other two certainly do.
There is a spot left.

36. Thanks, Mira; I agree with you about the second one...
and I think I'll leave the contests to the others. :) Too much good talent around here to take up a slot. :D

"Take it easy, but take it."

That's my advice to you for that last slot, if it's still there.

Since we have good talent in your eyes, what is it you think you've got?
Did these beautiful shots take themselves?
