Cool Pops! Arvin and I loved Uluru when we visited Australia too. What a great place and what great colors.

Excellent picture, really fits the theme. She could have handled a cloud or two with the other hand too...

Okay, here's the scoop. Mrs. Pops suggested the shot as it would never cross my mind (a very short distance) to do such a thing. I moved the camera up and down to get her hand directly under the rock. Well it was close. I had to do a little clone work on the horizon to get it closer still and her finger tips were even lowerl. A little marquee tool selection of the fingers plus the finger tips and then an edit>transform>skew got everything where it should be.

The hat! It seems to me the only thing that lives in the middle of Oz are flies. And they a pests. They'll try and drink the fluid from your eyes and crawl up your nose. So the locals sell the nets to us unsuspecting tourists! That's Mrs. Pops' straw hat under the wonder green net. I haven't a clue where she got it.

Now you should see the picture my son-in-law took of my daughter kissing the skull in Skagway, Alaska. That would be perfect for this challenge.

Excellent Pops! Did you got it on the first try (with a lot of "higher, higher, lower, etc.") or did you shot several samples?

Oh, Mr. Pops! This is so cute! (Tell me where she got that hat!) Shu
