Many thanks, Dan and Gip - Dan, see explanation in notes (a little late) - Gip, I fully suspect he is giving the evil eye - and would much prefer to be out on the ocean, than inside being a subject of photography.

It is not only the great tones as Jim correctly commented. It is also the lines in the frame and the timing. I think that a croping to 6x7 will make it from a fine photo an excellent photo.
Nice work Dan.

P.S. Place and date, as photo title add a lot to street photography. A Winograd's obsession that proved to be a correct one. Camera and lens do not say something, this is just LI thing, but place and date say a lot. Think about it.

I suspect it bites whatever fish it wants to eat :)) This is a tufted puffin, found off the northwest coast of US, although this poor chap is in the Oregon Coast Aquarium, thus looking somewhat less than happy. Thanks for your usual marvelously good cheer, Charles.

Ah, the lady in the hat, with two more - nice catch, Dan.

This looks so delicate it might shatter just from being viewed - beautiful, Rana.

An endearing and charming image - beautifully done.

Marvelous image of the child's look of wonder - the large expanse of negative space is indicative of the large world to which he will go.

I thank you, Diane.
Planned to shoot the bridge in b&w but it was one of those spectacular summer evenings when the temperature was cool with low humidity (something we never get in August), skies were clear, and everything was sparkling. Decided it had to be in color. Spent a couple of hours discovered new dials on this relatively new camera and just had fun. Warning: more to come! :>)

Gorgeous image, Rana, with superb light - good camera angle, as well.

Thanks to you all - cars used to be designed almost like sculpture - if you have the chance, visit the Owl's Head Transportation Museum in Maine - fantastic selection.
