It all works very well, Andrew!  Thanks for kicking it off.

And it is a new week, so you can post another two if you like.

I hope it's OK!  :)

 I have done plenty of photos while she was tasting the ice cream...
Yes, it was really a lot of fun for the grandmother and her granddaughter! ;)

Wow!  I have missed a few myself! (ticks the Notify box...)

Well done, Andrew, I see a face with the duck butt photo - the top two are the eyes and the feathers a skew moustache!

The eyes of love, Maria!

Minder is meer, Martin, as you say - even shallow DOF is less and more!

I saw the shoe in the gallery and thought 'perfect!' - glad to see it here, Tara!

Perfect, Rod, good to see you here!

Is selective desaturation also less is more?!

A bit of a different take on the subject:

A lone little bird on a really large shore!

Never mind - I seem to be NOT able to upload an image here... Will try later!
