Hi Mary,
Thanks for your comment on my tower photo. I like this one of yours very much. It's simple, but elegant, and painterly. I did one of a tail light for the color assignment, and had the same reaction as you. Sometimes the most mundane things can be quite beautiful. I'm interested in abstract photos, too.

Hi Elizabeth --
Thanks for the compliment! People's reactions to this have been really interesting -- many can't guess what it is.
I love taking a photo that reveals my surroundings in a different perspective. Sometimes it takes having a camera in front of me.
The macro lens has been one of the best equipment purchases I've made (and I got it on eBay no less).
Yesterday evening I took some photos for the twilight assignment and used your panning technique on a building. I love the result.
It's great getting Jim's critique on my work, but I've learned just as much from looking at others' photos.
