Thanks Tom. Warren, nice photo! the color version is very "monochromatic" to start ... I like it! Mitchell, real nice collection of photos. You look just like a NY City Boy on that rock in Central Park! Thanks for sharing. This thread may have done it! I need to get back to an SLR again! Tony

Tom,
I really didn't know what I had until I uploaded on the computer. The sky is only visible in the reflection. At the time it didn't cross my mind. The polarizing filter is what made this photo. Without it, the reflections on the water washed out. I agree, the B&W really makes the whole thing work. This is fun.

Kevin,
Great photo but you'll never see me that close to a bee. They just seem to love me for some reason. That second shot if I didn't know better looks like a copper casting. Very unusual. Thanks for the post.

Backyard!!! Where do you live...on Mars ??? That thing looks like it might eat you.

Best, Warren
On second thought, this was Kevin's High School Metal Shop project. It was indeed a copper casting, an urn in fact, disguised as a flower used to burn special tobacco as shown.
