Very pretty. I'd love to have a house like that

perfect take on the contest theme. Not sure if it's soft focus, but very nice.

this reminds me of the vacations we had on the dutch isles.. maybe I should take my family there sometime, we have friends of the family living there so we went there regular when I was a child. havent been there since though.

oh this kinda looks like one of the parks here in amsterdam. I love these kinda places gives me such a serene feeling when I breath in the calmth and take the time to think about things in my life.

Dont be sorry no harm was done

sorry author i was merely explaining what OOF meant

out of focus

OOF

Good shot and on target with the contest description.

you forgot to tick, upload full res when you made your changes.

bravo

Nice but you need to loose the red between the bottle and the hand.

I agree on the lines, they are great.

The sky looks a bit unrealistic to me.

omg id wanna hug her shes sooo adorable lol

I think shes looking for shells or something

lovely shot

What is that up the road? Sure seems to have everyone's attention

Lovely photo, and I like the way the lines lead to the clock.

great photo, but it really is a photo of a sleeping dog, not a photo of a clock.

What a beautiful coloured dog, nice photo too.

LOL... and I thought OUR dogs were spoiled!

It's a wonderful photo, but a little flat, try increasing the contrast.

It's a beautiful photo, but why are you making her crawl uphill?

sweet

I love this!

I wouldn't bother knocking but i'd sure love to explore it.

That is creepy.

ooooh! creepy! very nice shot!

great shot, and I like the treatment.

nice photo, well suited to the sepia, but watch the halos when using HDR

something must be valuable. Nice shot, I would crop a bit off the top and bottom to put more focus on the chain.

Cute, a goat with attitude

Great catch

Nice composition here. Great job

Lovely shot

beautifull , nice shot.

beautiful piece of art work...some more depth of field to blur the background would of put more emphasis on the art...

A beautiful old house. I wish there was a little more space on top

They have it over water so they don't have to go clean up everyone's puke.

The barn in the back really makes the shot. Very cool. I've never seen Red Winged Blackbirds in such large numbers. Always thought they were relatively solitary

HOLY BIRDS!!!! Just an incredible opportunistic shot...great find author and nice shot

I counted them, 532, wow! Just kidding. =) Great shot.

barn swallows looking for the best nesting spot in said barn LOL nice shot thanks for sharing

cute!

Awesome

Fantastic focus, the detail of the small feathers is amazing. Great colors, great capture. Excellent job!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I agree with Kyricom. Here you show us a stair, not an alley.

wow, that's amazing
