New method

[chauncey]

This is a very technical technique, that I came up with, used on this image...a very complicated method...
it's called putzing around!

[Loose Canon]

Nice shot Wm.

And here I thought I invented “putzing around”!

I invented the phrase “new and improved” which made me a lot of money, and I also invented waiting in line…

…which didn’t exactly work out the way I had hoped!

Nice image!

I like to putz around because doing so fully qualifies me as a putz.

[Shadowman]

Nicely putzed.

Nice image! Does this mean you want us to call you a putz?

[FootLoose]

Great perspective, William, you've captured the colour and essential detail in one shot.

[DanK]

Um, not the same as futzing around. In any case, a nice image, but I think it would be improved by more light in the anthers.

Thank you all for the comments guys, but now ya gotta listen to a story...

it's Friday evening, I'm tired and cranky, having just returned from grocery shopping with six kids,
always a joy unto itself. I'm sitting there having coffee with my head down, resting my brain.
the oldest said "Dad, you OK, what do you want" "I'm tired and I wanna be left alone" I said.
She comes back with "well, you shoulda thought of that before adopting six kids"
I rolled on the floor laughing.

Great story, Chauncey. I even read it to my wife.

And me, growing up with a Yiddish background, hears the word, PUTZ........

Oy.

Yup, my point. Of course, there is a stronger alternative...

like??? putzing a patz in the batz?

Hey! I too want to comment on your shot -- really like the floaters and the pink background. This really works well, William...colours are very attractive and matches well.

Nope. "Futz" is am American slang word meaning something like "fiddle around without much direction." "I didn't really know how to fix it, but I futzed around with it for a while." "Putz" is aYiddish vulgar term for a certain body part, used as an insult. "Did you see how obnoxious he was to them? What a putz." A very expressive language, Yiddish has another vulgar synonym that is more insulting.

According to dictionary.com, futz probably has a vulgar origin, perhaps as a variant of putz.

But it really is a nice shot.

Hope she enjoyed it Mike...this was the same one that, while we were on a ride in the country,
told her brother to shut-up or we would to tie him to the hood and pretend that he was a dead deer.

but I futzed around with it for a while." "Putz" is a Yiddish vulgar term for a certain body part, used as an insult.

My 2nd wife was Jewish, both terms were used a lot...hence, the reason for my confusion.

Accolades on the picture are really appreciated...thanks a whole heap!
