Thanks Denise. It has been an odd summer. But yesterday ended up being a good day at the beach.


Steve...ok...the Wally pic is cracking me up....


Mr Infinity. I would still encourage you to post fewer pictures that are so similar. Post the ones you think are the best. That said, I think the last two (which look like the same picture, I prefer the one in color) is a nice effort. I think they could be improved by making sure the entire cork face is in focus by adjusting your DOF, but you have a nicely blurred background, some nice highlights, and the back end of the cork is even blurred. So you have a clear focal point (face of cork) and have made everything more festive to create a bit of a story. A nice effort.
