Congrats on your success in #108. I know the images you put up are examples, but I wanted to comment on this one, which I particularly like. Somehow it succeeds really well in conveying a sense of place. And... I'm really curious about who the empty chair belongs to.
As an occasional motorcyclist, I'm intrigued by the necessary dual function of this guy's left hand. It must be a ride full of interesting choices: Hold the dog? Engage the clutch? Hold the dog? Engage the clutch.
Seems you've gotten a few kudos on the Hatcher's Pass photo - and I agree, but for my 2 cents, the Emera Tribe shot tells a story that leaves me wanting to know more. There seems to be an almost conspiratorial tone in this gathering. Nice work!

Thank you Bill. You are right, the boys started Chasing the girls making them scream but it was immediately squelched by the men of the tribe. Most likely because they were entertaining guests.
#1 San Francisco, California
In my opinion, one of the nicest places on earth. There is a little something for everyone and a great place to take the kids for a day of adventure.
I like all of your submissions here, but my favorite is the first one. SF is an amazing place, but not easy to capture photographically. Nice work.
For what it's worth, I'm a Southern CA guy who loves your neck of the woods. Just finished a 2000 mile road trip that took my lovely wife and I up Hwy 1 from Cambria to the Avenue of the Giants and back via Napa Valley. What a great trip! You can see some photos here if you're interested.
I like each of your submissions for different reasons, but after looking at your smugmug site, I can see that flowers are your forte. Your macro shots are so sharp! I've given a thumbs up to a few of my favorites. From your entries here, this one captures a sense of abandonment and renewal at the same time that I particularly like.
You can see some of my flower photos here (Borrego Springs desert wildflower bloom) and here (San Diego Botanical Gardens).
This is among my favorites of this thread. The lines formed by the reverse L of the lanterns and the foreground boat blend so well with the upper-left to lower-right diagonals of the rooflines. It's one I want to keep looking at. Kudos.
By the way, I've taken a quick side trip to your smugmug site. Very nicely put together with wonderful images. I'll be back to look later when I have some more time.
This is my favorite of your submissions. My former-father-in-law was a professional photographer/designer and he loved shooting in cemeteries. Some of it rubbed off I guess. Nice work!
O'Hare. If you get a chance to fly through Chicago, make sure you have a long enough layover to appreciate the light show in the connecting tunnel between concourses B & C.
Tortuguero, Costa Rica
The only way to get there is by boat. There are no cars in town. If you are lucky, you can see the sea turtles nesting. The town makes its living from tourists who come to see the turtles and everyone is on board with their preservation. Be sure to bring mosquito repellent.
Mount Baker from Mount Constitution on Orcas Island. It is the highest point in the San Juan Islands. To the east, you can see the Cascades from BC, Canada to Mount Ranier. To the west, you can see the Olympics to Vancouver Island. I highly recommend it as a day trip for those making it to the Pacific Northwest.
I like the juxtaposition of the horizons in these two shots. I don't know if you posted them with this in mind, but the implied reversal of the light/color gradation on the horizon is really interesting.
I like all three of your entries, but this one is my favorite. You've handled a tough lighting situation very effectively and retained the sense of the whole scene.
All three are terrific, but in this one, I love that you've got the boy touching the bicycle, which in my interpretation probably doesn't belong to him [my story - I'm sticking with it]. The point for me is that this picture got me into the scene quite effectively. Nice work!

This is the only one that was a non-SLR photo. Yay Canon PowerShot A75! It was my first digital camera
Here are my entries - all from the same region of the UK, The North Yorkshire Moors and Coast. Taken on a recent holiday. A Gorgeous part of the country...

Thank you so much, Bill. Yes, flowers are my favorite things to photograph. I never get tired of shooting them. They don't complain when I want to take lots of pics. Thanks for looking at my galleries and finding something you like. That made my day. You have some great shots in your galleries, too. I love the one with the purple flowers.
The abandoned farmhouse in the bluebonnet field is one of my all-time favorite photos that I've ever taken. It's the first photo (print) that I ever sold to a random person (who just happened to see the photo on my smugmug site and liked it enough to buy it).

A unusual perspective of a much photographed place. Nice.
