1. Very nice photo.

Sharp and nicely saturated.

Contrast in color, form and physical structure --- really neat.

2. Thanks. I like the different colors in the rocks.

6. Great. I agree, I think the rock colors make the shot. n/t

8. That is one image that didn't need to be black and white.

3. I like this very much, it has such dimension with the white behind the

red/green leaf and the shamrock popping off the rocks.
I'm a rock freak, and the front center one is gorgeous.

4. Thanks. I used to be a rock hound. I still hit the fossil beds

around here. Our rocks are about 450,000,000 years old. Lot of Flexicalymene and Isotelus fragments to be found. That old limestone helps build strong bones in our horses.

5. alfredo, I seem to have a habit of

seeing your photos, being wowed by them and not finding words to say how much I love them. Then I decide to think it over and get back to you with a reasoned explanation why I love each photo so much and end up not typing anything at all. There are other people I find myself doing this with too and is a bad habit that I need to correct. So let me say I love this photo and have no idea how to describe why. It just tugs at me on an emotional/visual level and is beautiful.

7. Thank you.

In "The Scent of Green Papaya" there is a scene where Mui watches an ant.

9. Great shot. I feel serene and warm viewing it.

That might sound odd...but it's peaceful to me. I really like this photo.

10. It is in a quiet place, except when the grand kids arrive.

then it is the north east side of a Cat 5 hurricane.

11. Very calming. and I like the "face" in the bottom pink rock.

I like the juxtaposition of plant and rock, and the crispness of the plant leaves. My fingers itched to stroke the leaves.

12. I went back there today but the light was very harsh. I took a lot of pictures today, but

So far I haven't been moved. I still have some to look at, maybe there will be some magic.
