Neat pictures I've taken

Actually Pico...I usually do not crop or otherwise play around with the photo. I like it to show in the context in which it was taken.

I know that didn't really make sense, Bruce. I should have said it differently. I like the competition and, if I win, that's great. I've had numerous people say that I have a real eye for photography and I'd like to see if others see things that way.

I actually thought about having my wife submit one in her name, but I am a stickler for rules and being honest. It's a fault of mine. I'm the guy who, if he gets too much change or finds money, goes out of his way to return it. I just want to choose which one I think is the best and let the chips fall where they may.

Then go with the Ladybug and find out.

Here you go Pico...what do you think?

I usually do take numerous shots of my subject. Sometimes though, as with butterflies, you may not get more than one shot and you have to be quick. When I took the photo in question, I only got that one shot before it fluttered away.

Bruce, I am actually leaning toward the ladybug. Hell, I probably won't decide until I leave to walk over to the fairgrounds on Monday.

In that case, you are hopefully taking many shots of the same subject with slight variations in its composition/framing...because its those two things that often make a great photo. I personally do not like the amount of space to the left of the butterfly. Eliminating would really amplify the subject of the photo.
