#3 is beautiful mate ... gotta be a winne that one.

Joe, I really like them all! Number 1 reminds me of a snake that ate a watermelon or a similar situation. Great job!

Thumbs up for #3 here as well! #1 is an interesting photo!

Last shot is killer...love it! You got a great sky for the silhouette of that tree.
WHAT is that in the first pic??

Taralyn Romero · Dec 30, 2005

The first one doesn't do much for me but I like your angle on the second one. The last pic though.... whoa man... great capture... I can just smell and feel the air in that one - what beautiful framing on such a perfect tree! Everything about that pic is just gorgeous!

That would be a stalk of golden rod impregnated by gall fly larvae.

Last one is perfect! Is that some sort of Yucca in the first one??

LaFoto · Dec 31, 2005

You are so right about the last one. If that were mine, I'd be happy about it, too. Very happy. That tree is beautifully shaped, and the sky at sunset behind it is extra wonderful. All together: a winner!

DOF, angle and colours in the first are very interesting, too!!!

Is that what it is? to help with perspective it was only 2 feet high. There were a whole bunch of them with the ball thing half way up so I guess we're gonna have alot of gall flys next year...... whatever they are.

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

Its a toss up between the two, but I think I like the first one better than the last (just because it has done before, but it is a gorgeous photo none-the-less). The perspective in #1 has me wondering whether it is 30 feet high or one! Great shots!
