Not much of a unifying theme...just a brain dump, really.

Nice shots toad, I particularly like the first 2 the red is very vibrant colour and adds a little something to the photo and the refelctions in the window of that building is very nice, jsut on a little bit of a lean tho

I really like these abstractoid photos. The last one is MY favorite. Good work.

I like them all, maybe the first two a bit more. The last one baffles me, the sky seems upside down. Is it a reflection of a window? Really nice, though.

Great shots, Toad.

I love the repeating patterns, colour and symmetry of the first two. Did you use a graduated filter on the 2nd one? Very nice effect there.

Thanks all. The second one does not use a grauated filter but does use a gradient mask for the sky. The 4th one is deliberately baffling - it is a strange shot through a window to begin with - and it is upside down. The first and third are straight shots of unusual subjects.

Since I have been trying to go pro - my willingness to dealve into the abstract has been suppressed somewhat - too much "trying to sell" on the brain - these shots are more like the old Toad - thanks for the encouragement, Don.

P.S. Guerito - nice avavtar

Does your name mean "little war"?

Nah... Guerito is what my wife calls me, she's from Mexico. It comes from guero = blonde (actually güero with an u-umlaut).

I like no4

yeah .. number 4 is nice.... interesting to put the photo upside down ... i was wondering when i first saw it ..if something is wrong with my head .. or if in fact the photo was upside down .. haha
