I don't know....    

But if you go for this look, you might want to carry a big stick next time you go out, birds will probably be all over you vying for your attention.

LOL awjay, now your shot didn't remind me of any photo I have, but it did remind me of that old Beatles song "why don't we do it in the road?" 

Does that count?

: )

How neat! 

Wow, several nice shots, everyone!  And I love the mind/photo associations, fun to see the mental leaps taken.  : )

Well, my first fridge shot looked so clean because that was the day we moved in! Sparkling brand new fridge, and a cat checking out everything.  Although given half a chance, they still sneak in there.

I personally feel that I've grown as a shutterbug by listening and looking at both comments on my work and on comments left to others on their work.

I comment, I rate when I feel the inclination. Am I disappointed when I can't comment, never really thougth of it in that way, so I guess not. 

Art is very subjective and I quote from my dictionary "subjective - existing in the mind; belonging to the thinking subject rather than to the object of thought" . We see with our minds as well as with our eyes. What touches me may leave another with no impression.

And to wrap up this rather meandering post, we are all given free will, say or not, read or not, it's a matter of what each of us chooses.

Y'all have a good evening, enjoyed reading what everyone had to say,

The non IR shot is in my gallery if you'd like to compare http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1629190

I did notice there is a rather skewed rectangular highlight in this one, I think what is happening here is that sun is getting in the viewfinder (as it was to my back) and leaving it's imprint on the shot. I didn't notice this until I was back home with the shots on the computer so I'll have to try blocking it another day and see if the effect goes away. Anyone have a alternate idea or can confirm what I think?

And thanks in advance for any hints,

Yvonne

I know someone mentioned a program  or two that helps with that, I'll have to peruse the pages again to pick up on that.

I'm also getting a handle on the post shot processing, I use PSP and all the tuts I've seen so far are for similar programs but I think I'm getting the gist of it, just have to learn the fine tuning.

Which reminds me of my cat, who is the king of stares!

BTW, I've never seen this flower before, its lovely! 

LOL ok ok, I got the hint. Although by time I got home from work it was it was twilight and getting cold(er) so I perhaps this weekend when I've got a full day's worth of sunlight I'll see what I can accomplish.

Thanks to the both of you for the motivation.
