Usual thanks to Adelheid and Ostein :-) Quick look through, quick notes:
Thomas, Ken and Butch - amazing red skies, holy cow they're all great. This stars are sublime, Thomas. All the leaves shots are lovely, especially Ray's. I like the composition and the way the ripples mimic the periphery of the leaf. That Golden gate bridge shot makes my heart pound - it's something I saw regularly when I was in my teens. Arnie did it justice but I'm dying to see the bottom of the nearest bridge support. Super shot though. All the flowers and plants, lovely to see. And Brandy. Yes, Brandy. Boy I'd have to be pretty drunk. Gianfranco's pic is wonderful and easily my favourite this month. The feeling and passion of a shot seem to flow instinctively fro this guy's photography. Why can't I shoot pics like that ?!?! Simply stunning and a gold, er red star for you Gianco. I love Frank's cyclist shot - the enthusiasm on the rider's face is compulsive viewing! Max Macrae's shot of the insect is BRILLIANT and a superb use of lighting. It literally throbs of red throbby stuff. Excellent pic. Some interesting images there, and some nice ones in the Open gallery also. The standard is so high these days that the rest of us must be racking our brains wondering what to submit. For myself, I haven't had a pic in for ages. All these damn (fine) PAWs and PESOs... I get some new EOSK adapters back soon so I can shoot using a pair of Pentax lenses on my Canon - seeing this gallery has reminded me how important the actual photography is. I'm going to turn over a new leaf for 2005 and submit to the PUG again. I'll soon have a proper macro set- up and so watch out Max - I'm right on your tail buddy! Well done PUGsters, great work. Best, Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
