Great shots, Marcel. Reminds me of where I grew up in Chambly, on the south shore of Montreal. Winter was a magical time for me. Great colour and light in these shots. Love it.

Really nice shot Amanda, I love the atmosphere. The painting effect makes it look magical. I also like the overall color balance.
Keep up the great work.

We baked cookies the other day (for daddy to take on his business trip) and they turned out so pretty I had to take pics...My scrapbooking group is going to use it for background on our V-Day projects....Hope you like it...Amanda

Nice photo Jazz. That burst of light in the center of the splash looks like the optic sensor on the HAL-9000 from 2001 A Space Odyssey. Is it a reflection of sunlight, or from a flash?

It would be from the on board flash. No money for a Speedlight

My first entry for this challenge
This figure is one of the characters of the fantasy table top war game called WARHAMMER Warhammer Fantasy Battle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What's amazing about these figures is almost all of them are about an inch (1 inch) small
and hand painted with amazing detail.
Taken by D90 and 60mm F2.8 micro

Hi jengajoh - No, I did not paint that one. I just saw them being played on the hobby store. I was amazed by the detail on them for their small size. Had to go home and get my camera. Hehehehe

Wild this one is. The outside temperature was - 27 celsius this morning when I took this one. "Chilly" isn't even cold enough to describe it.
