1. Cool ending to a great series, alfredo.

[alfredo]

2. Thanks. It was fun. The last one used an HDR emulation script.

From there I manipulated the contrast.

3. The 1st shot looks like an alien's head and brain.

Amazing.

[alfredo]

4. It is. It came to earth to study Chinese take-out and Donald Trump's hair.

They think there is a connection. There is, but we want them to to find out for themselves.

5. Altho, looking again..

His Noodly Appendage......

A disciple of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

[alfredo]

7. Only a true believer would see that.

6. These are terrific.

And I have to agree that the first one really does look like some alien life form, perhaps awaking from a very long space flight.

8. And she's famished.

15. I just noticed something about the first image. It is a head facing right.

You can see the jaw line, lips, nose, brow, and the shape of the back of the skull as it meets with the neck. It is as if we are looking up at the figure.

16. And she is hungry.

It's dinner time.

18. Maybe on the west coast, out east its past midnight snacks and past a reasonable

bedtime for those doing the 9-5 routine.

9. I love

the 2nd one. It reminds me of a butterfly wing!

[alfredo]

14. You're right it does.

10. These have all been

wonderful. Kind of makes one wish you would have more of that weather except it is a pain to live with. Storm 6 is still my favorite but might be because it was the first I saw :shrug: since they are all good.

[alfredo]

12. Thanks. I've been waiting for the chance to photograph ice again.

I love the exposed bones of winter.

11. You keep getting better and better at these

I have to say I really love the one with the blue background, though all are excellent.

[alfredo]

13. Practice makes perfect, or reinforces mistakes. Yeah, I think by being expose to other

Photographers here has helped me refine my eye. It also helped to know when to hit save. Most of all it has been the good habit of taking a lot of photos that has helped me.

I am thinking of getting a camera with a lens like the Samsung 30mm or the Sony 16. Enforcing limitations seems to make me more creative. It will get me away from the claustrophobic world of macro. Macro is turning inward.

17. Alfredo, you have much to be proud of here.

These are all absolutely gorgeous shots, and I know these are very difficult to capture with this sharpness. Gold stars for you. :)

[alfredo]

19. Thanks. It's good to go out the door knowing what you are looking for.

I have another project banging around in my head.

[Solly Mack]

20. I love number 2. They are all very good.

You inspire me to learn more and to do better. You really do.

21. We feed off each other That's one reason for this community.

I can't wait to get back out on the city streets.
