From Damaso - strong composition and the most luscious green:

Folks, thanks for the mentions.

Feeling guilty for having not had much time to post my favorites in several weeks and seeing lots of wonderful images already posted, I'm going to try to recognize a few that might have slipped by unnoticed. As always, the amount of talent on this site never fails to amaze me.

many, many more I could post to this thread this week, but I want to end by welcoming the work of a seldom (or is it never-before-seen) seen photographer in this thread. no, not the subject of the photo, but his lovely and talented bride. presenting Mrs. Paulfish (my gosh, she's not responsible for those frozen fish sticks, is she?)...

and, Paul's own shot
