I like the composition of the parachute flyer. It's not a cliche by any means. A slightly longer lens would have made it even better, but it's a worthy photo as shown. The reflection is a decent abstraction. Doesn't blow me away, but it's definitely worth a look. Paul On Apr 16, 2011, at 12:41

Boris, I like that 2nd one much better than your tree leaves photo. The wavey surface of the water makes for interesting reflections. And the majority of the information confined to the top is a good composition. Regards, Bob S. On Sat, Apr 16, 2011 at 11:41 AM, Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com

The U.S. Postal Service wanted to make a Statue of Liberty stamp. So they bought a photo of the Statue of Liberty from a stock photo agency, made it into a stamp and printed three billion of them. Turns out the photo was of the replica Statue of Liberty in Las Vegas, not the real thing.

I've done the same for many years, but I closed two businesses last year and the complexity of the filing instructions got to me. Making a mistake would cost me a lot more than having a preparer do the job, and/or support me if I needed help during editing and with resultant penalties. I don't
