Talk about terrific isolation!! This is wonderful, Mitch. Congrats on the potd, too -- and no worries about the comments :) Sounds as if you have your priorities straight :) #8804450Chris Budny August 05, 2010
After standing in front of that wall, I can't believe I didn't look at it for photo ops! Nicely done! #8809060Ken Smith August 06, 2010
That's awesome, Mitch. I can see a lot of different photo ops here. Super work! #8809399Mitch Spence August 14, 2010
Hey, thanks, everyone. I am especially pleased that you like this one, as it's one that somehow really appealed to me. #8832281Nikki McDonald September 11, 2010
Well, you know how I feel about Laissez and I sure don't want to jinx it again so I'll go with this wonderful capture as my favorite of your August entries. You really do have such a great eye: anyone else would have moved the crate and captured much more of the mural -- and had a photo with no impact at all. This is perfectly composed and has great interest -- all it lacks is crossed fingers LOLDatha Y. Thompson September 13, 2010

Congrats!! :O) #8902835Nikki McDonald September 15, 2010
Well you know I'm grinning from ear to ear about this one -- back to the old stompin' grounds, right? So very deserving! (But I'm more than a bit annoyed about some others that were over-looked -- there's always next month though.) Congratulations on the finalist and good luck in the next round. #8903202Kathryn Wesserling September 15, 2010
Wow! Congratulations! Good Luck! (says it all!.) #8903400Patti Coblentz September 15, 2010
