wow -- what a knock-out shot! gorgeous!! are you using a different camera? or the same camera in a different way? the detail in your shots of the last 2 weeks has jumped way way way up! 100% crispness!! wow!! bravo on all accounts!!

@dj.tigersprout: hahh, thanks DJ, no same cam. I have been studying a bit of photoshop (as you will see later in the week I was so engrossed I caught the wrong train) so using that, but as for the sharpness - I have also signed up as a A+ member so it allows me to upload better quality images which are a lot sharper, which I am loving! Thanks for noticing the detail my friend ;o)
Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
Great detail shot of a fine old time piece. I like that lovely green patina on it too.

@Steve Rice: Thanks so much Steve, greatly appreciate your comments!
Elaine- from Vancouver, Canada
VERY cool Ky!! reminds me of how it must have looked in Biblical times when God made the sundial go backwards, so it's a sweet image, for sure... glad you are back sister!

No garden is complete without a bird bath or a sundial. This has a vintage quality.

Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand
YEAHAY me mate is back and back with style:-) Mmmm now if I had a suspicious mind I would think that you and dj had been on a secret rendezvous...disappearing at the same time & returning at the same time LOL. Only joking....so good to have you back my friend:-) and like I say....with style! This is a cracker of a shot Kyles, the detail and the lighting is wicked....I just noticed your reply to dj re A3+...I think its just your excellent photography shining through my friend:-)))

Maxine from Rangiora, New Zealand
Out taking photos in your lunch hour? ten past one it says (i think!) i love this verdigris color and the clarity and crispness is just brilliant. When DJ comes out why dont you come at the same time to NZ???
7 Oct 2008 7:51am
@Maxine: ahhh, how perceptive are you!!!! It is a sundial in my garden taken on the weekend :o)... When's DJ coming over? It sounds very tempting, wouldn't that be a hoot! Thanks for your comment my friend!
@Dimitrios: Thanks so much Dimitrios, not it was take in the day, it is a sundial, hence the time is told by the sun. Thanks for stopping by.
Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand
very amazing HDR Kylie, simply sublime (even if they are touched up).
7 Oct 2008 9:36am
@Siam: Thanks Siam for your lovely comments, this isn't a HDR image though, just played with the curves a little in photoshop to try bring out the colour I saw on the day when I shot it :o), thanks for stopping by.
Eric Fry from Houston, TX, United States

Rui from Leiria, Portugal
WOW Welcome back Kylie. You came back and with the "guns" loaded :o) Excellent work. Very good details, framing and light. The colors seem to dance around... and I agree with DJ. In these last couple of weeks your work suffered an incredible improvement. This is not just Photoshop... Congratulations !!

Great colors and textures on this one... the light is fantastic... maybe a spotlight ? I hope for it !
I'm ready for "Caturday" :))

Jeff from Pembroke Dock, United Kingdom
Always wanted a sundial, but the ones i've tried are too big for my wrist...! Boom ! !Boom !....Love the colours and textures in this shot well framed.

@Jeff: Hahha, you crack me up Jeff, very very funny, thanks for your comments!
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Excellent composition and detail Kylie! I love the strong shadow and how the focus in the frame is very small, making the rest a dreamy blur. Well done!

A masterpiece of a ......Timepiece....well captured Ky., 'As Time Goes By'

Great compo with DOF, the blur zone is the past time and the crisp zone is the time to come!

[suvni:R] from Brussels, Belgium
although a short leave, it's nice to have you back here. I hope you enjoyed your r&r and feel completely 'rejuvenated' :-) very nice macro (unless it's a huge sundial than it's not a macro of course :-) and great colors.

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
This is so incredibly sharp, I don't need my glasses to see it. lol :)
Very nice macro of this old timepiece, can you call a sundail a Timepiece..? maybe not. It's great anyhoo

Bill from Belton, United States
Beautiful old sundial, well shot and shopped. I haven't a clue about photoshop. I guess I am just too old to have the patience to fight my way up the learning curve on the thing! (The learning curve on the D200 has been daunting enough!)

Kenton from Calgary, Canada
This is great and I love the colours. I've been thinking of going A+ and I'm glad to see that it does make a substantial difference. I've been a little disappointed with the quality of some of my stuff once I've put it up. Now I have to upgrade.

A magnificent image, a detail of a sundial, excellent layout.

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
The contrasty look, selective focus and colours make this an outstanding image. A very original approach.
