Dave and Stefania - Thanks to both of you for taking a few moments to comment on this one! I couldn't help but get the bird in Dave, we were in Chicago at Navy Pier and they were all over the place. I think that in the original RAW he was flying too close to the ferris wheel so I took artistic license and "moved" him slightly. #9629467

Great photographers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.
Congratulations for your achievement, August, 25, 2011. Merna

Wow the bold colors in this one just jump out! Congrats on your finalist! :~) #9640248

Thank you so much, Dave, Michael and Aimee. This is definitely one of my favorites. Next time I go to Chicago, I will go on it and get a few "bird's eye"shots of Navy Pier. Which is going to be utterly possible, because my son just got a job offer to work at Discover headquarters and is out there now looking for an apartment. #9640336

Fabulous finalist...congratulations!! #9640555

Debbie E. Payne August 29, 2011

Thank you, Linda. I see you are still producing wonderful images as I just briefly went through your gallery. It has been a while since I've visited some of my favorite galleries. You have some beautiful HDR images. Did you take classes at BP or did you teach yourself this technique. I am, at the moment, just beginning to dabble in HDR. Any book suggestions or filter programs that helped you?

PS. As I recall you are from SC? Is everything OK where you are. We are lucky being in the middle of the country right now as we seem to be unaffected by what is going on on the East Coast. #9640648
