Robert G. Earnest - I'm sure this farm family will treasure this record of them being happy, because considering the current situation with the economy, and the droughts, etc., they may well not be smiling much now. Nice shot. D.L. Shipman - Bull rider Great action shot, although it could use a bit of space to the right. What's a get-along? Anything at all like a wedgie? Emily Ferguson - Waiting for the next command Other than the flying hair, this is a rather static shot, a mass of gray bordered by a shiny mast. Folks familiar with sailing would, I imagine, get way more out of this than non-sailors. Rob Talbot - Ice Rob, you devil, you get right down to the essence of things, don't you? But then if you hadn't said ice, I would have thought it was molten plastic. Or something. Gregory david Stempel - Backyard Light No. 3 The lower left corner holds all the interest, while the rest of the image seems dark, empty. I'd reframe this, or crop. Christopher Strevens - on the way to the spa The flag of Hungary is made of horizontal bands of red, white, and green, adopted in 1957, whereas the flag of Italy consists of vertical bands of green, white, and red, created in 1947. Andrew Davidhazy - Reminds me of some long-exposure shots of planes taking off from JFK, and you're right. Duplicatable, no. Imitated, perhaps!
