Love the composition. The hay rolls seem to just go on forever. Well done and thanks for posting.

Late last year a friend asked me to shoot her son's wedding for free. They had a friend set up to do it but he had to cancel at the last minute. I had never shot a wedding so I agreed as long as the bride did not expect too much.
My wife and I attended and we both shot the wedding. The couple loved the pics and were so appreciative that I decided to throw in a little PP on my favorite shots. Several of them came out really well and she ended up having them framed. Bottom line, it was a great experience for me and the family really appreciated it. I do not make a living with my camera so for me it was a bit of an honor that they liked my shots so much. Glad we did it.

Wow! Did you bother to read any of the articles you linked to? Her biggest accomplishment was not reacting when Bill got a hummer in the Oval Office?! Really? Also, they give her full credit for getting Nixon impeached? These links actually make bcheary's point to me. She has accomplished nothing of substance even though she has been in powerful positions for decades now.
If you disagree maybe you could cite some of them. These articles all refer to things she talked about or was somehow involved in but not much that she actually did herself with the exception of her failed attempt at universal healthcare. And as Secretary of State - what accomplishments can she claim other than the obvious, the deaths of four Americans? Like Obama she is a lawyer who has never worked a real job in her life and is driven by ego more than anything. She would be more of the same and another colossal mistake if elected.

I thought your comments were fine. Hope mine were as well. Do not mean to offend anyone here. I agree that it is not a simple thing to fix but much of the problems stem from too much government in the first place. For instance, why was it illegal to buy health insurance from a company based out of state? Congress made that the law. Sure, there is greed in the system but from what I know I our industry much of the consumer price for things is added after the provider buys it from us. They have to pay for malpractice and all sorts of overhead that I can not even begin to understand. I only know that our margins are small and getting smaller. To the point where it may not be too long until we no longer sell in this country.
Plenty to think about and you are right, it is not all the politicians but they are the ones who are supposed to be working for us - not the companies who need to make a profit to continue developing new products.

My comment was merely about the hypocrisy of them passing laws for us that they do not have to follow. I do have insurance but it does not come from luck I assure you. I do not like ObamaCare simply because it adds a huge amount of complexity and embeds the government even more into our lives. My premiums, along with those of most folks I know, have increased rather than decrease as promised. The government never does anything efficiently. This will be no exception and ultimately we will all pay with a decrease in the quality of our healthcare - which by the way has already begun.
I work for a medical device company that, because of the new device fees, has seriously downsized out plant and outsourced a few thousand jobs. In addition, for the first time in my 25 years with them, they have slashed the number of R&D projects so those new products now will either not be developed or will be seriously delayed. Other companies have actually stopped making devices altogether costing thousands more jobs. I know some folks will benefit and get the care they need and this is great but I believe there must be ways to make this happen that would not kills jobs and lower the quality of care.

I imagine they would simply pass a law for the rest of us and exempt themselves from it like ObamaCare...

Really sweet. Does she let your wife any closer or is she still wary? Not that this isn't close enough...

These look good. A bit on the costly side but hey may work for you.

Love the foreground in this shot. Very nice image.

Great capture! Stunning.

I am no website expert but I love your photos. The only thing I found distracting that no one else mentioned are the arrows on the sides of the pics during the slideshow. They move up and down with the changes in picture size. My eye is drawn to them instead of the subjects at first. Not a clue what to do about it but I think you have such wonderful photos - you do not want people to be distracted. Best of luck to you and thanks for sharing.

Great photos! Also took me back a few years to when my kids were little. Cannot remember far enough to when I did all that though...

I actually like this as is. The face on the side conveys a sense of voyeurism or a curiosity about the others. It works for me. Of course you could rearrange things in any number of ways and there are all sorts of different lighting options as well. For me, when I first looked at it, I liked it so my advice is leave it alone. I do not consider myself to be nearly as creative as many members here so take that into considerations too. Thanks for sharing.
