Wow, Songbird, the clarity, color and composition of this photo is fantastic. You make this look so easy (I personally think this type of image is challenging). You've turned tree lichens into a work of art! Congratulations! #10635035Songbird Cline March 30, 2013
LeAnn, what kind words.. thank you.. I feel very lucky to live in a garden that offers me so much diversity to photograph. I challenge my self often to see what I can find 50 feet from my front door to photograph. Im lucky to have so much beauty in my own garden. Thanks for looking at my images and the kind comments! #10635041Merna L. Nobile April 23, 2013
Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile #10664496

Merna, Thank you very much. By the way, FYI,I wrote to BP support three times asking about the obvious apparent changes and they assured me there was no change and no new judges, and nothing was new or different. #10665071Merna L. Nobile April 23, 2013
Hi Songbird: I think that they have changed their judging standards and, as usual, the members are the last ones to know. From what I can see the second half of March had very few Editors’ Picks and I have not seen a single one in April. Whatever happens, keep well. Merna#10665102
