vertical stripes are so slimming!

a macro shot for the 52 week Dogwood thing... with stripes added in PS to meet my push challenge set by @tstb13 which was to shoot something with plenty of lines...

I think you are back in your comfort zone here. Striking stripes put poor Mr Penguin in a cage.

Bond villain. ;)

Makes my eyes shimmer, but I like it.

Why can't I persuade my brain that PP's beak is not really weaving in and out of the persienne stripes?

Cool capture. The lines do add a great effect.

[Issi Bannerman]

Super. Cool capture and caption.

Mr/Ms Penguin seems to have lost a cm or two! So you are right about the stripes!
