Description

Congrats to February Finalists and Winners. Haven't been able to comment at all for a few weeks b/c of reCAPTCHA, so actually did not even try for the past week. I was able to post 2 comments yesterday, then it popped up again. Was able to make 6 or 7 today, then it happened again. DId not get a reply from Jim, so messaged him again. Thanks for all the kind comments.

Wonderful detail, composition, and title, Patrick! Creative image! reCAPTCHA is frustrating. #1813729

So creative and beautiful, Paddy! I just love the mood you created with the sharp raindrops in the foreground and soft spring growth in the background. I've had some luck with commenting for the past few days, but have been afraid to say so (didn't want to jinx it). I'm still anxious every time I hit send, and always copy my comment before I do that just in case. Fingers crossed for both you and me. No replie to my emails, either. #12077392

I hear ya about the reCAPTCHA. I had trouble before leaving on vacation but have been doing okay since I returned. I don't understand why it happens only to some members. Anyway, this is a beauty, Paddy! Love the title too! #12077487

Excellent and creative photo work, Patrick! It stands as a beautiful abstract with the droplets and the softly colored BG! reCAPTCHA, also, happens to me some times. #12077496
