Tag IOW May12-May19

[CalamityJanet]

Thanks to kimh for tagging me this week! Unfortunately, I haven't found anyone to accept the tag for May19-May26 (and I did try!), so I'm asking for a volunteer. If you're interested send me a PM and I'll tag the first person who responds.

As usual there were a lot of great images this week! I didn't choose by category, I just went with the images that evoked an emotional response and were well done. My choice for IOW is...

And these were also great images that I returned to more than once. I could have added many more, but I narrowed it down to these:

So much humor, creativity and talent went into this one!

I love birds and this is a beautiful shot that was very nicely enhanced in Elements.

I love this candid portrait! Ahhh, the simple joys of childhood....

This beautiful image has a story to tell! A great job of creating a sense of mystery.

Another candid portrait but this on evokes a different response...ICK! A great shot and probably not an easy one.

Nice choices, and I'll go ahead and publically admit I was one of the ones who had to graciously decline. It's just a real busy time right now. I haven't even had time to look at my own photos! :eek:
