Stovepipe from Ames, Iowa, United StatesCool composition -- the tripod is a subject with character. 18 Jul 2008 5:32am @Stovepipe: thanks a lot for the visit Stovepipe, not a tripod though it's a water sprinkler :) John Maslowski from Dallas,PA, United StatesGreat job with the exposure and lighting. Can't help being drawn to the guy puffing away. Nice composition. 18 Jul 2008 5:58am @John Maslowski: Thanks a lot John :) Kylie Greenan from Richmond, AustraliaThe smoke almost looks like rain... great capure! 18 Jul 2008 6:11am @Kylie Greenan: Thanks a lot Kylie (pretty name), not smoke except for the guy's cigarette, it's a water sprinkler with sun rays :) I appreciate the visit ! @Ilnoir: lol ;) Marion from Nanaimo, BC, CanadaI love this in black and white, but now I'm not so sure this is smoke. It looks like mist from some watering device. Umm, I think you have stoked eveeryone's curiosity. Great shot Lorraine. 18 Jul 2008 6:21am @Marion: You got it girl, it's a water sprinkler + sun rays lol, but I didn't lie LadyM, nooo, there's smoke from the guy's cigarette..Thanks so much ;) Cheryl from Texas, United Stateshah! I guessed it right yesterday!! very nice image, the tripod adds a bit of curiosity. 18 Jul 2008 10:08am @Cheryl: You sure did, and I always think of Tripod as In Photography, so I was about to repeat it's not a tripod, but it has three legs so it's a tripd, a watering tripod lol thanks a lot Cheryl @Daryl: Thanks a lot Daryl :) Abraham Lincoln from Brookville, United StatesNice. Looks like a golf course being watered. 18 Jul 2008 11:21am @Abraham Lincoln: Thanks a lot Abe, not quite, it's condos facing the river.. :) Tracey from White Hall, United StatesI love this fascinating shot. So much for the eye to see and the brain to wonder about. The water spray adds to the effect of the smoke coming out of the guy's mouth. Like he is infecting the whole area! Great shot and percfecto in black and white! :0) 18 Jul 2008 11:25am @Tracey: lol I like that Tracey, thanks a lot...great interpretation ;) Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United StatesI would be running in and out of this sprinkler... driving the workers crazy... great shot... 18 Jul 2008 11:37am @Fliss: lol that's hilarious Felicity, thanks very much :) Mandy Provan from Johannesburg, South AfricaGreat shot with the sprinkler Lorraine - Love the sun catching it, awesome in Black and White. 18 Jul 2008 11:49am @Mandy Provan: Thanks a lot Mandy, I appreciate it :) Dimitrios from ATHENS, Greecefine shot, wish for the person to be more to the left in the frame. 18 Jul 2008 12:05pm @Dimitrios: Well I took it from four different perspectives, maybe I'll show the other two at some points, thanks Dimitrios ;) JoeB from Brampton, CanadaI had a feeling that it was a sprinkler, he's living on the edge having a smoke and a shower. I'm curious about the shot in colour? 18 Jul 2008 1:33pm @JoeB: Well at one point I'll post it, I'm not used to posting same photo, different perspective, but maybe eventually ;) tyan from Singapore, Singaporemy first impression was it was heavy rain and you are clad in raincoat and bolly taking this shot.After reading the comments i have some idea now..this is so fascinating.Looks like a scene for some detective story or sth:) 18 Jul 2008 1:33pm @tyan: I like that, thanks so much Tyan :) Rui Silva from Leiria, PortugalGreat great composition. One of the best I've seen. 18 Jul 2008 2:15pm @Rui Silva: What a nice thing to say, thanks a lot Rui :) Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United StatesMist, spray and smoke with again, that longgg leannnn man, almost falling out of the frame. 18 Jul 2008 2:17pm @Judy: Hey Judy, lol well, when I first took the photo, I didn't see any man, eventually after a few shots, I realized what I had, I got lucky and I had my zoom thanks so much! @Ron: lol Works for me Ron, thanks a lot ;) @yiannis krikis: Thanks very much Yiannis ;) Rags from Plano, United StatesI really like the image. It is so unique and makes one look at it and wonder, "what is going on?" 18 Jul 2008 2:55pm @Rags: Lovely comment, thanks a lot Rags :) Barbara from Florida, United StatesI love the illusion that the mist could be mistaken for smoke. I like both yesterday and today. They present an entirely different perspective. Although I like the smoke he is blowing out in this one. 18 Jul 2008 3:35pm @Barbara: Thanks so much Barbara, actually took 4 photos before he left, there' s one that intrigues but I hesitate to post 3 in a row, maybe later on ;) Michael Rawluk from Prince George, CanadaAnother wonderful shot, Lorraine. Yesterday's shot sure got the interest going. 18 Jul 2008 3:38pm @Michael Rawluk: Thanks a lot Michael, I'm glad you liked both :) Anne from White Rock, BC, CanadaWonderful B&W composition Lorraine! Same with yesterday's. I am wondering if he is a gardener - having a quick smoke whilst inspecting the sprinkler system? ;-) 18 Jul 2008 5:09pm @Anne: Thanks so much Anne, and probably a good chance that he is OR he lives in one of the condos facing the river... Janice Thomson from CanadaThis would be great in a thriller! Very mysterious and moody - you really got me on this -I was sure it was smoke :) Great capture mon amie. 18 Jul 2008 5:47pm @Janice Thomson: I like that my dear friend, thanks a lot ;) Vink from Magagnosc, FranceCette nébulosité en n&b est de toute beauté ! J'adore ! 18 Jul 2008 5:55pm @Vink: Comme tu es gentil Roch, merci beaucoup :) Viewfinder from Bradenton, United StatesUh, ummm... sure it's water. I knew that. Really. Hahaha! You really had me stumped on this one. Yesterday and today's images are really topnotch, m'Lady. 18 Jul 2008 6:48pm @Viewfinder: LOL thanks for the chuckle Vf, I liked yesterday's better and wouldn't have posted this, BUT inquiring visitors minds wanted to know ;) Stunner from Kingston, JamaicaA great b&w presentation of this mist of water. Awesome lighting too. 18 Jul 2008 7:19pm @Stunner: Thanks so much Stunner, I appreciate it ;) Michael Skorulski from Cigel, SlovakiaHe almost looks like a fire eater in a circus. Neat one, Lorraine. 18 Jul 2008 7:34pm @Michael Skorulski: That's sooo neat, thanks a lot Michael ;) @DaveB: Me too, thanks a lot Dave :) Illuci from Hurdegaryp, NetherlandsJe préfère la photo précédente, elle était plus forte, ici il faut distribuer l'attention aux éléments divers, mais cependant c'est une très belle photo. Je vois que l'homme pense que la fume n'est pas suffisante, et il ajoute sa fume :)! 18 Jul 2008 9:37pm @Illuci: Moi aussi Erik je préfère celle d'hier, celle-ci c'est le cercle de fumée que j'ai aimé, merci bien :) @laughingwolf: right on, it's a water sprinkler, doesn't anyone read other comments lol @Pep Mir: Thanks very much for your visit and comment Pep :) akarui from Kagoshima, JapanIt was difficult to think about water when your title was telling smoke and we couldn't not see that the man was smoking on the previous picture. Against the light the water makes a great effect. 18 Jul 2008 11:03pm @akarui: Sometimes I have no idea why I title a photo a certain way...go figure lol glad you liked it anyway :) @Observing: Ah...Mike :) Thanks ! GJC from Kyoto, JapanWhat I like about this is that it looks like both the sprinkler and the man are smoking in different corners of the photo. Amusing. 19 Jul 2008 4:15am @GJC: I like your interpretation GJC, thanks a lot :) saeed from ahwaz, IranWOW! is that your threepod under water!?!? :O 19 Jul 2008 4:29am @saeed: What a lovely compliment thanks very much Saeed :) [terrorkitten] from Bath, United Kingdomthis is very good Lorraine....the mist or water seems to be entering from the left and the smoke from the guys mouth exiting to the right....great feel to it! 19 Jul 2008 1:04pm @[terrorkitten]: What a nice comment Phil, thanks alot :) laughingwolf from Canadaif i read all other comments, i'd never get thru all my contacts' posts.... 19 Jul 2008 5:54pm @laughingwolf: and yet you comment twice... Japanalia from Yokohama, JapanAha! I got it! The "Marlborough Man" ALMOST replaced by a water sprinkler! WEll.....maybe HE was just taking a break..... 20 Jul 2008 2:23pm @Japanalia: lol good one Gabriela, we do love our Marlborough Man :) Photographs by M.E. from Tustin, United Statessmoky HOT! well done, my dear friend! 20 Jul 2008 5:44pm @Photographs by M.E.: Hot!
