woow doyle, also this one is a real impressive macro..  i have nominated your works, but it seems that the staff member are "without ears".. :) I have followed the forum from gayle and you... and i agree with the particular gayle's idea! many Time ago have proposed something of similar, but never has left.. I would be strong if you saw this.. means that the "family" is active..
have all the best my friend. and happy week edn

Marlyce is rooting for the Bears . . . referred to in this house as DA' BEARS. :) I'll hear from you after the colts . . . errrrr . . . DA' BEARS pick up the trophy - - - - - - - LoL!

Thanks Roby . . . probably not a good idea to attack staff members, huh? You have to wonder why a person would give awards if that person is going to be challenged for having done so. . . . and getting questioned not on the merits but on the ethics might make anybody wonder why they bother. Hopefully the situation will improve soon. Time will tell. Until then . . . we shoot!! :)

You?...funnin' me?...unheard of! Big words, hmmmm...like: deoxyribonucleicacid, verisimilitude, or plebeian...uh-uh not me, don't know any big words.
I hope Marlyce wasn't as disappointed as the fans here...sheesh, after the game we had to take away their shoelaces, belts, and sharp objects! ;)
So, on to the real reason I'm here...
Great title, and great control...you exhaled just enough to initiate lift off without blowing the whole thing out of the water...or should I say into the air? The black backgroound was an excellent choice, really shows all the delicate detail. And well composed of course! All in all...ya done good Double D!
Take care...Robin
ps...Last message was a tad urgent, we're having a baby tomorrow, two months early...nerves and time are stretched a bit thin right now. Say a prayer, OK?! :)

Robin:
While your prayers are likely more than enough you can be sure that mine will be added. As the king of cool . . . I have a bit of pull with 'G'! Might be condescending to say don't worry . . . not to mention a waste of breath . . . so I'll not bother.
These events are often considered routine but when my Dad had his 'routine' open heart surgery he snapped at the Doctor that "It's NOT routine for ME!" Wise words if you ask me! Let me know, ok?
Oh . . . glad to see you have a dictionary handy! ;)

Hello Doyle!
I think I like this one the best out of the three. I really like how the top curves in, through and then out of the picture. The dark background works great with the subject and great timing on the lift-off! Well done!
I tried so hard to get a good shot of one of these last summer. You'll notice that I didn't post one so it's obvious that I wasn't successful!
Have a great weekend!

Nice shot, and I like your "about." I went through a phase where I decorated my living room with cattails -- I'm sure it was quite picturesque when one of them "burst" -- but I wasn't there to photograph it -- I only dealt with the aftermath.
Very cool.
