These are much better photographs than the ones for the week. I picked the kitty in the leaves as the rest were distressful.
the wave hitting the lighthouse was amazing... they missed the boat by not including that one.
this week pictures were great as usual. Good job! the pictures you said no to were not as good. thank you,
Lucinda.
I cant help but wonder? How many starving children might have been fed with the Millions of dollars wasted on yet another statute of Christ Almighty??? Im sure someone already has the blueprints to build one a few feet higher somewhere?? You just dont get the fact that Jesus isnt coming back, But if he did he,d be the first to tear down all the statutes we have erected to him! He was a carpenter,born in a stable only wanted Peace on earth not monuments !!
I picked three to review, and voted for one:
As for outtakes, The lighthouse is cool, but the horizon line is botched, as is the HL for the Pakistani Guy which I find very artful and touching, the umbrella girl is too cliche, I'm sick of umbrellas, even though they are cool. Keep and eye on The Ring of Fire, it could get real exciting.
Ill bet a dollar to a donut old Ashamed the vendor has a bomb in his basket just waiting to blowup some more american soldiers, as they stroll by his stand? If you think thats a cold remark, ask some of the parents orphans and widows of the thousands who alreasdy gave their all in this no win war! How they feel towards the afghanistans??We are supposed to be protecting over there?
Is it just me or does that picture of the clouds and lighthouse look eerie? The top right corner of the clouds looks like a man's face from a side view, almost like he is screaming, well screaming like a man charging into battle kind of scream.
OMG you are right. Thanks for pointing this out. Wow!
i loved all of these pictures more than most of the other ones picked! you are right about the lighthouse one too!
