September Greeblepix Contest + NYC Fountain Photos!

I usually don't interlope on the photo contest with my own photos, but I have been struggling to catch up editing and sharing on all the shots I took from our NYC trip last month. And I took so many from one particular fountain (anyone know which one this is?), that at the time, I felt I had to go over to this lovely mom, because I had been taking so many photos of her lovely children. She graciously agreed to have her kids featured on my blog and then has been patiently waiting to see them - FORever.

So I finally just skipped ahead to the fountain photos last night, and I couldn't wait to share them with you:



Aren't those kids just amazing? The joy and sunshine and water of that day blew me away.

But, there is still NO THEME for this month's photos - other than share a pic you are really in love with right now. I can't wait to see them!

OK. WHO IS READY TO WIN A $250 CAMERA RENTAL FROM PRO PHOTO RENTAL???

Never mind on the place, guys - after some googling, I am pretty sure it is Foley Square near the Supreme Court??

Aimee,
This is the first time I've entered a photo and I am definitely just beginning to understand my camera. Even if my picture isn't chosen for the top 10, I'd love to have you critique it for me.

I had a hard time choosing which shot from the day I wanted to enter, but I think I picked the one that tells the story the best. :)

You know what? Going through my shots to try and choose one, I discovered something -- I'm getting better! Like, I can totally see an improvement in my photography. I know it's 100 percent because of contact with awesome photographers like you and everyone else with whom you've connected me. Thanks, Aimee, for doing this contest and for that.

And I LOVE the fountain photos.

Kim, first of all THANK YOU.. and second of all, I feel totally the same. My photos have been getting better over the past 5 years - and it's all because of the fab interactions with photog bloggers and Flickr friends. I am SOOO inspired by everyone.

Anyway, forgot to leave one before because I was so excited about leaving my photo link. I'm glad to see I'm not the only first-timer in the contest this month! Great batch of photos so far..will be hard for you to narrow it down to 10!

The fountain photos are gorgeous. Love 'em all!
