I don't think the Greeks or Romans or whoever had to worry about rusty pipes

I really like how the reflection of the two-toned sky runs right down the middle of the channel. Excellent composition/timing.

Your bird is a more cooperative model than my kid, and good-looking too!

I've been trying (without much success) to capture some low-lying fog like that.

Before I read your notes I thought Rembrandt or Vermeer ... super job!

Cat O' Nine Beans

Comment:
This finished ranked quite a bit higher than I expected, and with a pretty positive response from the commenters -- about the opposite of what I expected. Thanks to all of you who took more than a moment to look and comment!

Crazy Maize ("Indian Corn")
by Elemmennope

Comment:
I also took a shot of some maize, but decided to enter something else. From the look of your finish I should have entered the corn!

When I was a kid I took some and planted it and grew quite a bit -- this kind gets 6-8 feet high; most of the ears would come out multicolored, but a few would be a beautiful solid red or purple. One or two ears is enough to sow a sizable plot.

Very nice -- these are quite a different color than the ones I've seen previously. Congratulations for a fine finish!

I find it fascinating that no one has commented on your two-toned border.

Are you going to explain the set-up for this? (Even if it's the "hard" way -- I guess you can keep the secret shortcut to yourself for a while.)
