You care about the garage EVERY time you park it, worrying about getting in and out...lol! Great capture!

Love it, they look like they're famous, whoever they might be!

You don't have much stuff, but what you do have is pretty cool. You could sell this photo into the company that sells images to put on the garage doors.

Who cares about the garage when you have a car like that?

wow... great juxtaposition

Beautiful work of art, truly lovely!

Great shot, looks HDR, love the boats =)

very good.

great improvement, the second image is great!

I also like the new angle better, because it makes the visual movement much more fluid, where in the first image, it was somewhat "jerky," with the eye stopping at every angle of the elbows and knees. I also did not like the profile view of the head. The new angle provides a much more complete view of the face, as well as the drum, and the angles of the joints just "flow" better...

Don't click and drive!!! hehehehe Great job author

Very good from a moving car

Much nicer. Great job. Interesting perspective, Rob. But... the new way the face is also facing us more, becoming more "open" and inclusive (nonverbally)

It's a great improvement, the light, the background...
Just the angle change I do not really like. But that could be my western look.

Let me explain:
I'm from Europe and used to read from left to right and that's how I learned to 'read' a photo (matter of fact any image) too. Due to the change in the angle the hands (a focal point in this photo) are closed to me, in your original photo they are open and therefor, to me, a much more friendlier angle to look at.

Much more dynamic now!

Think everything is better on this -- lighting, composition and focus == well done

Better angle this time around, as well as color and depth. Nice job!

I think the noise control was much better in the second one and showing the building in its entiriety or however you spell that word is much better as well as the color control. I do like however the mid-tones and angle of the first one.

Well done, author.

I like the first shot better

Really nice pic...

Very nice. Good find

Nice picture from a moving car!

Beautiful photo that captures the water without looking blurry!

Excellent shot Author

very On Theme

Excellent!

Have to agree here author...not really an improvement over the first shot that is clearer and has much less distractions

I like the first shot better...More focus on the house, no people, better angle.

The fact that this is a real photo, and not a manipulation is hard to comprehend...Nice photo!

Very nice composition and color.

Hey, you've done it! Great job!

Very nice!

Awesome!

The sky looks too washed out, and the signs are a bit distracting, but this is a beautiful set of stairs!

What... are the big umbrellas defective?

"Peace - Something to shoot for..."
Nice photo.

Great colors and mood, almost like a painting!

Great angle!

Cool picture... but very little blur (but I guess the theme didn't specify how much was needed)

It's a great portrait, but i agree that some type of structure or activity would have been a good addition. However pretty shot.

really well done!

very nice -- lighting and composition are very well done

kool.. so nice

gr8 shot

Very pleasant atmosphere

Aww now, no need to self-criticize ... we can do it for you mwah ha ha *insert evil laugh*

I noticed bare fingers . could be an illusion.
