If it were me I'd use the clone stamp tool and the spot healing brush to clone out the oof spots there. I agree with him, it's a little distracting.

Very cool pic though! My daughter just said it's "disgusting". Heh.

Went looking for bears this morning; found this furry friend instead.

Nice on Jonathan. Hope the lumpy nose isn't a sign of infection.

I believe it is, unfortunately. Here is a front-on view taken a moment earlier... you can see she's pretty scratched up. But in other shots I could see signs that she is actively nursing a litter, so this is one tough mama.

Great shots of the coyote Jonathan.
I guess I'll throw this here since it is my only current shot. I got this at a tip the other night at work, it's 79 years old.

Hi there!

Haven't posted anything for a while but here is one from last week-end. As one can see, in Lausanne (Switzerland), the flowers are there but the clouds are sticking around...

1/40s, f/16, ISO 100, 24-105 @ 24mm

Then another one, a bit more abstract. Just a log of wood but I liked the way it was lit

If this had been invested in the US stock market in 1934, it would be worth $700 today. Reminds me of an old joke:

If you invest your money wisely, you'll find it increases.

If you keep it in your pocket, you'll find it in creases.

This is an intentional blur of horses crossing the finish line at Churchill Downs on Sunday afternoon. We went for the special Mother's Day brunch / horse racing event. My wife and I also took her mother (age 94) .... she knows how to pick the winners!

Nice shot, Joel. So they allowed removable lens cameras there on Sunday but not at the Kentucky Derby?

Correct, no restriction on cameras except on Derby Day.
