  Well done, I like composition, and reflection details.

  Snow is not a fear anymore with that monster. Is it a railroad plow??
  It just remind me one that I saw last yer in Poland.

  Nice gentle lighting on that shot Squamish, is she holding a reflector ?

  Thanks! And yes, its a DIY Home Depot reflector that I made white corrugated plastic just to see what I could make for under $10 :]

  I don't know whether gold bags swim, but there was no problem trying it out, because the water had 72 degrees.
  
  Here is another for dissent, good against winter depressions

  @juergen- This is the shot I could not get when I was in Africa. The peacoak was just out of reach with my lens and it was in the shade. It was killing me! Anyway, great shot and color!
  
  @mikep-The London Eye looks like a flying jet engine! Looks really cool!
  
  @Benji- That beach shot should cure any of [NR] friends of their winter blues. Looks very inviting! I am looking to see if that pot of gold washed up on shore from your rainbow shot.

  @ Dredden85
  A question; How high of a fence is needed to keep cheetahs "in".......( or lions "out" ? )
  
  @ Msmoto
  That snow plow couldn't be any straighter if you had put a level on it, Tommie;
  BTW........I see one that's very similar parked on a siding in Terre Haute every time I go down Maple Ave. ( it's not painted up nearly as nice as your is though ! )
  I had some great railroad pictures in an email a while back that showed one of those thing going through about 6 feet of snow "out west" some place.

  @paulr.......That is one of the most outstanding flower shots I've seen in a very long time! the lighting is breath taking ! very well done.
  
  @ Mike.........You couldn't hardly make a bad picture of such a pretty girl ! Very cute picture, indeed.
  
  @rschnaible..........Simply awesome ! Looking at that granite makes me want to pack up my ropes and my pitons and head back to Yosemite !

  @Gitzo- The cheetah's fence was about seven feet high. They did have lions there too but the cage had 12ft tall fence w/ vertical wire about an inch a part. My photos them were okay but not great due to the gauge of wire and the three foot stand off we had to maintain from the pen.

  @Gitzo, thanks I guess the image evoked an emotion which is good I think... Climbing is a great sport for those who enjoy it!

  @msmoto...I believe this is commonly referred as a House Sparrow.

  @Gitzo- I was going to PM you one of the lion shots but my drive some how corrupted this evening. ( Now I have to try to recover it. My entire Africa trip was on there. It might be all gone, about 3,600 shots.
  I will now warn the forum that please beware uploading to Nikon Image Space directly from your external drive. It was fine yesterday. Today not so good. (
