Trying to get this right

[rracioppi]

Hello all,

Tried to post to the Mini competition (Monochrome) and only got to get the link to my picture to show. Using Picasa because that is where I have my pictures...doesn't look like FlickR is still viable and I hate to do it on more than one site...here's another try...Spring has sprung...although we had sleet and snow yesterday..

https means that it is a secure link. It should work for people who have a picasa account, like I do, I was able to look at your pic by clicking on it. But I can't see it in the post.

That seems to have worked Plus it's a lot nicer to look at than the html snippet from your original post
Nicely composed and framed and it does a good job as an icon for spring - but maybe a tad too bright ? I think you could have possibly gone 2/3 to 1 stop down and enriched the colours and the depth nicely.
Nice shot though
