I see. Thanks, Kelly. Due to my eyesight, I'll keep my resolution where it is, and will endeaver to not allow scrolling to effect my vote. Thanks. ~Lydia

Dear Julie, thank you for you kind words and I'm glad you think my images are confident - but truthfully, I feel the least confident of my images in these CSLR challenges, largely due to the incredible talent haunting these gallery walls, yet at the same time also being inspired and encouraged by that talent to keep trying. - Kelly

Kelly, your images are so strong and confident. I am very impressed. Julie

Lydia - What's the resolution setting of your monitor? If you're unsure how to tell, and are running a PC, right click anywhere on your Desktop other than over an icon, then click on Properties and then the Settings tab. Move the slider under Screen Resolution to the right as high as it will go and then check to see that Color quality is set to Highest (32 bit), then click okay. Depending on your video card and monitor's capabilities, you may be able to set your resolution 1600 x 1200 or higher. If you're used to seeing your monitor set at 800 x 600, it might take a day or so to get get used to seeing things appear to be smaller, but you'll soon realize that you can actually see more, like this 800 pixel tall image, which by the way is the recommended maximum width/ height of images for these challenges. - Kelly

Kelly, I have to scroll to see the entire image... I'd really like it if you'd reduce by a smidge, so I can see it all at once. (Perhaps 760-770 or so?) I really like this one. ~Lydia

Thank you very much CJ, Pops and Lydia for your kind remarks. The tops of the jars remind me of the old percolator we had in our house when I was growing up. - Kelly

Beautiful. I like how the lids capture and reflect the light.

Oh - I like this Kelly! Nice composition, tones and PP, and I like seeing the texture in the glass jars! :-) CJ
