Mimicry...the way all children learn by our examples and they have this incredible knack to get stodgy adults to do the most inane things. Great composition with excellent balance between the right and left half of frame.

This is the place I want to be...if not physically then through mental teleportation. Quite awesome perspective with rich saturated colors.

Nice kid portrait, Jeno. This might be better with a bit more light so his face can be seen better, but then you know what your intention was when loaded to UF. Excellent composition here with the main subject sharp in focus and the foreground and background blurred. Luke

just can't get a cow to cooperate...maybe he did not like the deal you had...always can renegotiate. nice light and great silhouette here. very moody.

all the special details...that make a simple photograph wonderful. the repeating pattern of blocks in the sidewalk, the droll background punctuated by the red garment of a child who happens to carrying a pink umbrella.

i see these reflections in buildings all over town, but i am usually in my car at the wrong time. the lighting is what makes it wonderful. the reflections are also spectacular as they create an amazing abstract image of a very concrete subject. nicely done.

Might be one of the best examples of flower photography I have seen in quite some time. Beautiful texture and color saturation. Nice isolation of primary subject as well. Gets 7!

Not sure who your Amen was directed to, but that simple guttural response is an indication of your reaction to something that happened here. Appreciated.

Randy, the contrast boost was a good idea. Not sure I like the rotation as much. Thanks for the ideas and the comments. Every viewpoint has merit here. I was not thinking of a political discussion but an ideological one about freedom and what great responsibility it carries.

Your encouraging words also appreciated, Jim. The discussion generated here should not be a simple dualistic polemic, but a discussion launching into honest dialogue. What if this were another country's flag. What would it represent?

David, I understand and appreciate your comments. If you read what the symbol represents then you might be more willing to hear that beyond what the FLAG has been traditionally represented as I think we as individuals also have to respond to the tyranny and indifference. I agree that there is much to be fought in terms of evil here. But we can't wait for others to start that fight. We have to look our own evils in the eye in order to combat it. We also can't simply ignore the good that this represents. I want people to see flag as a symbol that requires action, not simply words. Actions to right the wrongs - both here and abroad. I want the flag to be a dynamic image that represents freedom to all. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks, Neal. She liked it so will probably do more posing for me if it means she gets to dress up and/or have lots of photos.

i saw the other one first and i thought i liked it. this one however is excellent. the folded arms held one could conjecture just under the breasts that we do not see. the strong defined shadow there as well. nice work.

composition is good, but seems too soft, Nicole. i think you need to either have a wrinkled backdrop of a pressed one. the fold lines are distracting. pull your subject away from that background and put more light on it. that should help the model pop right out because of the separation.
