#45/365: Balancing Act

Doesn't this look as if I polished it? I don't remember it being this shiny, and I certainly didn't do any cleaning before taking the shot!

Love the perspective and reflection in the rail.

Those trees are once again disturblingly as though made of cotton in a children's arts & crafts class. *chuckle*

Very nice! Your digital camera handles the infrared rays much better than mine, I must say

This is a great photo Mike! I think it may be your best 365 pic so far. Hell, you've practically convinced me now that I need a better camera!

Thank you! I must say, I've been pleasantly surprised at how well the K100D has handled the IR light. Apparently I got pretty lucky--I've heard some of the older Pentax digitals don't do so well.
Thanks, that's one of my favorite things about this photo as well!
Come on, join the Pentaxians! We're gonna take over the world!
Thank you! Yes, I also think it deserves it's own page...

Seriously, the more I look at it, the more I think we should make a 8' x 10' poster of it (and yes, I mean FEET) and cover the living room wall with it.
