My entry for the week are two male portraits of high intensity fitting the topic. Both taken on Sunday, yesterday, at mass with my D850 & 1.8/85G Nikkor lens.

Not shots Frank. However, I would be tempted to clone out that booger hanging out the mans nose.

Shot this for Flickr macro mondays subject: flame. It's a small candle flame being reflected through one of those old glass coasters with the sunburst pattern. Everyone had them when we were kids. We still have a few kicking around... It was pretty high contrast to begin with but I bumped it up a bit in post. Took this with the Pentacon.

I was thinking about that

@CherylL that's very peaceful.

I love this! I had inherited a few sets of the crystal coasters with sterling silver trim. All broke and gone now.

My neighbor's willow tree on its last limb. Too many storms and will be sad when it dies completely off. I've taken photos of the grands under that willow over the years.

We're down to our last 2 (or maybe 3 if I ever really clean out all the drawers in the china cabinet).

This one turned out to be a wonderful abstract interpretation of the American flag! Intentional or one of those perfect little accidents, this is a very nice photo!
