Wow someone really likes my photo... I know that I liked it, but I did not expect to see it here after the finish of 222. Mine is the birds. By the way there were some fantastic photos in the best of 2005 and I am happy that someone believes that my entry deserves to have another look...
Thanks, Karen, for the high score on this one. I sort of expected that it wouldn't do so well on DPC. A consolation to me is that this same image (of the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens) won first place among hundreds of entries in a contest at the Botanical Gardens. It also won "Best of Show" in a competition in conjunction with an event called "Doors Open Niagara" last October (see here if interested), and will be exhibited at the renowned Burchfield-Penney Art Center from May thru August of this year.
...so, is there a lesson here regarding audiences?? ;-)
It was a first submission and I'm pretty sure no USM was used & not using the full size kinda hurt it, but I thought it was great.
It's quite bizarre how each of the two saguaros in this shot is a different height, yet each of them is precisely tangent to a distant ridgeline. Not a good thing, either...

Great Shot! I thought that was Buffalo. Haven't been to the Botanical Gardens in a while so I wasn't 100% sure. So much amazing architecture around here, there's no excuse for me to have a lack of inspiration.
