1. I was gawping at the second one and loving its sense of abstraction
and then scrolled down to the macro. That is a completely magnificent shot.

5. I just realized that the second image is an accidental self-portrait.

2. Sorry, I can't decide from among these
All too good! I love the second one, because I have to keep looking at it. But I am not sure about the votes on that one. What is good about the butterfly is the tips of the antennae are green!!! But if people don't notice that they may not think "green" enough, but it is for me. I have to say that is a really, really great looking bridge. I like the idea in a landscape of having at least one major color or thing that is not green, or at least having something to look at besides trees and grass. This fits the bill, and the lighting in the top one is wonderful.

Good luck deciding, LOL.

3. I wasn't considering any of these. I just had a very good day at the park.
Thanks for the feedback. The second one I find intriguing, but I'm not sure if I like it. It does have green, not much, and it isn't the focus.

The butterfly was a happy accident. I'd been chasing down dragonflies with no success. The little BF just sat there in a place he knew would make for a good shot.

I have another image of the kid and his friend, but it lacks the sharpness I wanted.

9. They know when you have a camera.
I photographed an arts fair today, but I was too busy doing voter registration and some party work to really put my mind to it.
