Bear in mind I am not the best photographer around, only been doing it a few years, have a lot more misses than keepers, and still forget to reset the ISO and WTB on my DSLR on a regular basis.
Okay, disclaimers out of the way. Here are some PUG shots that jumped out at me. (And if I misspell anyone's name, hey, I was writing them down.) Clocks by Collin Brendemuehl Maybe it was all the blue, but I gravitated here first. Simple but effective. Nice composition. Blue ---- No Title by Dag Thrane This was my favorite -- went here second. Not totally sure why, speaks to something in me -- some emotion. Well, I always go barefoot when I can. Nice composition, nice framing, nice detail in the bridge, etc. The texture really makes the legs/feet and shoes pop out. Blue Hawaii by Fred Widall Ahhhhh. Sigh. I love Hawaii, although, it's been a l-o-n-g time since I've been there. This really captures its beauty. Gorgeous sky. Sigh. Blue Girl by Frank Theriault Interesting shot. Red and blue. I like the streaky overlay on the girl -- makes it a semiabstract portrait and it makes you take a second look. Lady in Blue by Henk Terhell This is nicely abstract. High tech fluorescent light (or neon light, not sure) with low tech old world Greek/Italian type statue. Also vibrantly blue. This is what I think blue can be -- deep and bold. And the juxtaposition of tech makes it. Blue Eyes and Blue Frog by Gianfranco Irlanda Amusing and a good portrait. I don't know why froggies are amusing, but they generally are. Nice warm skin tones (in late afternoon, I presume) contrasted with blue frog. Blue Sky Behind the Temple by Thawatchai Kongsaktragool Interesting buildings and the bold blue sky really sets the white and red off. Some slight distortion (I think) from the wide angle but it just emphasizes the spires. Interesting image (and makes me want to go there). Diver and Puffer by Dan Matyola Bit soft and blurry, but I realize this was probably taken through glass and in bad lighting. Nice moment to capture and it is really, really blue. Zurich at Dusk by Rick Womer This is just a nice shot. Good composition, nice lights, nice angle on/of city. (Also makes we want to go there -- good location shots always make me want to go there). Ice Blue Morning by Jens Bladt Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I am unsure whether a filter was used on this or not. Bit puzzled how there could be some yellow on the left when the rest is blue. But an interesting shot. And brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Well, that's about it. Except to say the blue is really my least favorite color. Marnie aka Doe :-)
