Assignment #77: Human and Nature--Now Voting

On behalf of Poik, winner of Assignment #76, I would like to introduce the topic for Assignment #77: Human and Nature

As described by Poik:

The subject I would like to do is "Human / Nature". As in photos that have a natural component and a human component. This can be a wide range of things, from juxtaposition of man-made items and nature, to wildlife in an unnatural habitat, or just people cooperating with nature. Of course it could be something else as well, but containing both the human and natural components is the theme!

'Potholes Surfer' in La Jolla, California. Truly one of the joys of photography for me is coming away with an image that was completely unexpected from what was pre-visualized. With my tripod set up for landscapes, a surfer popped into the scene and immediately became my mid ground and main subjects.

This was one of those happy accident shots. I was tracking this butterfly using AI Servo and got a few shots of it flying by. The last shot in the series just happen to change focus onto this boy and his mother. It wasn't until PP that I saw that this kid's expression made it a keeper.

Nice entry. When humans and nature collide... it cause one to pause and think.

Here is my humbled entry:
During a particularly long and cold winter, someone with a sense of humor attempted to create a little man made nature.

Thanks Everyone. The assignment is closed. I will contact Poik and have him select the finalists.

Post hoc entry, great topic!

Nature, red in beak and claw...even on a fence post in my yard.

Nice when they come to you.

Unfortunately, I did not hear back from Poik. So I selected the finalists.

Now voting!

HDNitehawk - I was at the same spot (well a bit stage right) about a week before you. oops I double checked that would be 51 weeks after you.

The pictures is probably rather common since it was in a location that most of the sight seers went by, it was a day or two after. A year later the area was probably close to being rebuilt.

One more day to vote!
