Wow ... I just happened to notice that my first PAD (not counting my very brief first attempt) was on January 24 ... 6 months ago! I made it further than I thought ... :) A tough choice again today, two very different crops of the same shot. Here is the other one. Nikon D100 ,Tamron SP AF 28-105mm f/2.8 other sizes: small medium original auto previous | next comment | share Type your message and click Add Comment It is best to login or register first but you may post as a guest.

Larry Ahern 25-Jul-2004 11:38 This is terrific! hrl 25-Jul-2004 10:11 Um das für mich so fremd klingende Wort terrific zu vermeiden sage ich mal einfach großartig! Si Kirk 25-Jul-2004 09:18 wonderful image Carmen 25-Jul-2004 04:46 I like them both but if I had to choose I'd say you picked the right one. This is just too beautiful to be real. The color and detail are so perfect. Guest 25-Jul-2004 04:36 Tough choice is right! Very nice job on the lighting. Dennis Steinauer 25-Jul-2004 03:59 Both shots are great. This one is spectacular; the other is absolutely beautiful. I love them both - for different reasons. Don Northup 25-Jul-2004 03:25 You have hit the mark with this one bigtime. Excellent work Franziska. thx petesie 25-Jul-2004 03:04 This is beautiful. I've never seen anything like it. Guest 25-Jul-2004 02:51 Both excellent but the detail and colour in this is terrific!
