TAG IOW - Week ending 01/24/2009

[gcherry]

You guys really made it tough for me! I've spent the last 2 hours going through (and through and through) all of the images posted in the last week. It wasn't easy, but I finally narrowed it down to my personal favorites (in no particular order):

douglas m scott - I'm partial to pictures of cardinals (and I couldn't vote for my own!) so here's one I really liked. I love how you can see the seed in his beak just ready to be eaten:

Ron Grant This one just made me chuckle - he's a covert rabbit:

billz This is an amazing "made from scratch" image - it's astonishing what you can do with PSE:

seafeather - The composition, the reflection, the subject - all made me want to be there in this relaxing scene ...

The silly rules limit me to 4 images per post, so I'll continue this in the next post ...

jhzich - Wow! How could you not love this! The curving of the image really draws you in ...

My choice for Image of the Week ..... drum roll, please!

Pryce56 - When I saw this one, it made me say "Wow!" out loud! Love the flare, the shadows, the grandeur. An absolutely brilliant shot!

Glenda,

Thanks so much for choosing the Cardinal as one of the HMs. I just like taking pictures, I don't have much imagination, but there are truly creative artists on this forum.
