    Love the flapper, Ashton.  And the clouds are beautiful!!  I would have like to see all of Knothead, even though his "knot" was the focus.

    - the EYES have it

    I'm with Cratchet on Knothead, though I think it is a great photo. Nice set Aston. As usual.

    - say it with photos

    - Out of Focus!!

    The last is my favorite.  More of it would be a little better.  The dribbler  IMHO is way too soft.  No real focal point to me.  My eyes are drawn to the far bird.  Praying is also a very appealing shot.

    Fantastic set, ashton!  About the only one i don't like is the dribbler and only becuase of the effect.  It makes it too soft all over.  I think if you used the history tool (or a mask layer) to bring the front goose back into more focus it would have been a nice compliment to the image.  But I feel it's overpowering as is.

    That aside.  I love the cloud shots.  Both are beautiful and the last is so rich and crisp is outstanding.
