You may say that, but it's a good picture. It's in focus, properly exposed, with good composition, and the snake seems to be enjoying his preferred environment. Bob |

It was so over exposed that correcting it gave the image a gaudy, awful look. Face it, the iPhone 4 has a nice little camera, but there's only so much rescuing that can be done when it's over exposed. Even worse when under. The snake was indeed happy on a cool day laying in a spot of sunshine to warm his cold blooded heart. Didn't mind the attention either (as we stopped other people had to stop to look too...) There used to be a barred owl that hung around not too far from there but I haven't seen him in a few months ... no way that snake could lay about like that with the owl around. -- "There were, unfortunately, no great principles on which parties were divided – politics became a mere struggle for office." -Sir John A.

Music to listen to (very loud with headphones) while watching this pictu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s_oAV9LtJE Eric Stevens wood block: very clever. Duck: All three nice this time. If I were just a little more into airplanes, I could see hanging the FW190 on a wall. The sofa is missing the babe, though. Bob Flint: Forager - nice shot. Maybe could use a touch more contrast to add some "pop". Spider - nice focus on the web. Pretty good shot I think. Peter Newman - Bird - hey, I actually LIKE the bird. Maybe my eyes are going, too. I'm trying very hard to not even think about the Gazelle picture, thank you very much. Bowser - The gater shot is a keeper. Bob Coe - It is really hard to make interesting seashore shots, because we have all been spoiled from seeing pictures produced with TS- E lenses and Lee big stopper filters at sunset or sunrise, etc.etc. K Petre - I like the Glasgow picture the best of the three. A bit of a hohum showing from you this time, though. But maybe it is just the clouds. Martha's bra pictu Hey, what's not to like? Actually, a very pleasant picture to look at; good work. Cooper staircase - Best of the three. Technically OK, and fit the mandate, but not compelling to me.. Not sure why. Maybe the angle just doesn't work for my tastes. (Edit) You know, I hate to steal Charles' thunder, but maybe if you cropped the bottom off to just above the lower joint in the wood, it might generate a better geometry to look at. (Edit again) Too many Coopers, I thought one of Cleary's belonged to you. The Gater Grill is also an interesting and colorful shot. Cleary glow - Alright! Someone who likes abstracts. Keep it up! DaveC - Surfer - Nice action shot. DanP- slug. Would you really have taken that except for the mandate? You need to sit in the corner with Newman. Me - flipper. Lucky grab with the 5D2, which is not known for action shots. Sid- I like all three of those, especially the dog and berries. Not sure how they fit the mandate though. You should have given captions, I think. Was that a frigging German Shepard? And where is Mitch, anyway???? |

It isn't really just a wood block. Its the block of wood in which the letter punches are stored when they are not in use. As you can see there is a mating block on top which is drilled to take the upper half of the punches - to act as a cover. They are both roughly finished but that's the condition in which they are supplied. Notice the small notch on the side which tells you that you have the cover on around the right way. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Yeah, I actually figured that out. It was just a short-hand way of saying that. Like I said, it's a clever picture. |

Cool, I grew up with that band...even saw them at Allentown PA Fairgrounds and again at Woodstock. The photo was taken a decade ago with a Kodak DC-260 (I think) and run thru ArcSoft Photo Studio's solarization filter and cleaned up with a cloning tool. |

I'm trying very hard to not even think about the Gazelle picture, thank you very much. I was really just walking along and saw this tiger holding the silverware. His intent was clear. I was actually looking for the grill. How many times have you seen a tiger with good table manners? It was a first for me and I decided to share the experience. -- Peter |

I never got to see them play, but they were one of my favorites. One summer, I lived down the beach from Grace and Paul in Bolinas, but never saw them. |
