incredible capture Larry ..
I can't imagine the joy of photographing an amazing creature like this ..
and totally unplanned which makes it even better ..
like a little miracle ..
many congratulations on top 5 which .. in my reality ... would definitely have beaten my fly ..

i dont know .. but maybe the low votes .. especially the 2 .. were because there's no actual subject .. or the slightly oof foreground ..
in my modest opinion though, the image itself doesnt need a subject .. its complete just the way it is .. and the oof foreground gives a feeling of movement .. which adds to that feeling of being drawn in .. :)

Farmhouse

my first thought ..
i'm loving the light .. actually quite sublime ..
i also love how the buildings have so much growth on them ..
like become one with nature ..
also very very appealing is the scene in the distance .. with an almost foggy appearance .. i'm sure its not .. but it gives that feeling ..
its probably just a sunny haze .. but so lovely ..
all in all this gives me so much to look at and appreciate ..
you have taken me into a world that i would not see in real life ..
thankyou for the trip .. !! .. :)

OMG .. this is fantastic Larry .. in that first millisecond of looking at this i wondered where the double exposure was .. then i saw the nuts ..
brilliant .. both the idea and the execution . !! .. :)
