Just a fantastic take on the assignment. Great lighting. My wife looked over my shoulder and she loves this shot. Great job Peter.

This is awesome! What a wonderful take on the assignment, and so beautifully executed! You have set the bar for this week, my friend.

Best regards,

Peter, this is wonderful. It is a wonderful macro--the detail, sharpness etc is fantastic.

It brings back 3 very vivid memories of times I had to let Josh "go". One was to summer camp for 6 weeks when he was 10; at 18 when I dropped him off at Georgia Tech, and the last when he was married. Times that we will never forget, and always cherish for the growth it means for both mother and child. Thanks for a beautiful photo.

Here's to all of the wonderful moms and grand moms _peace_

Bravo. Peter! If Fred gets your unusual take on the WA, then this will be a finalist. Gorgeous shot! How did you manage to get the little ones to float off on command? Wonderful!

Fond regards,

Endre

For sure, an excellent capture, Peter! I like your concept, and the thought process, too. Whatever the theme, it's an excellent image!

Thanks Robert....I always enjoy the nature shots, although the take on the WA is admittedly a bit on the loose side
take care

Thanks very much Endre.................I admit to sprinkling them from above a few times. Initially my wife blew on the dandelion for me but they flew off wildly!!
This was bright sunshine with a black piece of matboard as backdrop
Thanks again

Philly...thanks for the complements..........I feel this is a pretty loose theme interpretation, and I'm glad you can appreciate the image itself!!
(don't you agree the the interpretation is 3/4 the fun here??)
thanks again

Peter

Hi Peter -

Great take on the assignment and great execution of the idea. And to think I just carelessly mow over those little moms. Now I have guilt!
