8th Place - Cool Dude *

Wyoming

Bzzzzzz. I mean Brrrrrr. I shot quite a few of this guy, thinking of how the water crystals looked so neat and somewhat fit the theme. But while others showed the crystals better, this one just seemed to have an amusing personality. For some reason it made me laugh. If you've ever worked outside on a cold day with a beard, you can sympathize with this poor critter. Shades of "Aqualung".

As with all of these entries, be sure you've selected "original" to view them. The default is "large" and the extra compression is quite visible.

I just love this lens. I can't seem to take it off of the camera. I've been using it for everything. I've always loved macro shooting and this thing is the funnest new toy I've treated myself to in a very long time. It fits my needs perfectly. Jim H.

Are you loving that lens as much as I am loving my copy?

Sort of freaky and charming at the same time, neat image. --Melanie (mlynn)

Very odd juxtaposition that works! Poor guy though, to get frozen like that. Did you use any extension tubes? -Ed Hahn
