Aaron vs Lan Photography Contest 1868

Image by Lan Bui
Aaron and I had an impromptu photography contest yesterday.

The rules were that from the car to my house (about a block) we had to take the best photograph we could without going backwards on the street. Basically, if you past something you could not go back. That was it, we did it and here are the results.

Please judge based on anything, place a comment VOTE on which one you vote for (other comments are also welcome).

See Aarons here

This redwing blackbird would land on this deer's head and pick the bugs off it, fly a ways, come back and do it again.

monarch anatomy 101

Image by whiteoakart
this image shows the veins that support the wing structure. When the monarch emerges from the chrysalis, the wings are folded up and limp. The butterfly pumps the veins full of fluid. This hydrostatic pressure enables a rigid wing structure. Not a bad packaging design!

I have been photographing weddings since 1990 and this photo was taken after the couple had cut their cake. Of course, guests in attendance with their point & shoots love to take photos of their own. So I had the couple face the people, I stood behind them, and added my own touches using Paint Shop Pro XI.
