<p>Great Pictures everyone!<br>

Comments first:<br>

Tiffany Brook - Great portrait. I agree, it's all about capturing people as they really are!<br>

Jana Hughes - Great composition on this image. The image is very graceful, yet powerful with the Tiger tattoo.<br>

Aguinaldo de Paula - I love the way the light is falling in this image. Great shot.<br>

Richard Armstrong - I really like that I can see your shadow in this shot, it makes me feel like I'm there shooting the picture myself.<br>

Tim Holte - I really like the color in this image.<br>

Ray Szumilas - Your image reminds me of "The Karate Kid"!</p>

<p>My image is of my son. We did these a few weeks ago to have some easter pics to give to family. He's so active that it's difficult to get a good shot of him! This was one of our favorites that we made wallets out of.<br>

<p>Too many inspiring images to mention, as usual! Suffice it to say that if your shot had a flower or a bird or a child or an adult or a landscape or an animal or an inanimate object in it, I loved it. However, here are a few that made me stop and linger and think.<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2206786">Narayan Kovvali</a>'s yellow flower -- I like the bug's-eye point of view and the bokeh on the house in the background.<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5735871">Enrique Rabelo</a>'s ninja feet -- great composition and unusual pov<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2418329">Lil Judd</a> -- Once again, I'm speechless. Talk about an inspiration to keep trying. Great colors, great focus, great photo. <br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4641068">Greg Kowalczewski</a> -- You risked your face and an expensive lens to get the shot, but the result is worth it!<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5759412">Tom Serio</a> -- Anyone who can make me see the space needle through new eyes has accomplished something.<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=172915">Lex (perpendicularity consultant) Jenkins</a> -- "The Polaroid Hipsters" is going on my list of great names for bands.<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4860036">Raden Munim</a> -- The lovely isolation of your periwinkle from the background caught my eye.<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=3670956">Eric Arnold</a>'s Rocketship -- Great subject, great caption, great photo.<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5658107">Francesco Pessolano</a>'s dramatic shot of the Paris-Roubaix classic -- did you work some HDR magic on this one, Francesco?<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5661879">Vineet Rajasekhar</a>'s mesmerising lights<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=997829">Rick Moran</a> -- now <em><strong>THAT</strong></em>'s an Osprey!<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=550529">Thomas Gerstendoerfer</a> -- As a bassist myself, I really appreciated the intensity of this shot.<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=628662">Tim Holte</a>' Lake Michigan goose<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2300756">Issac Sam</a>'s tiny bee<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=475624">Ofey Kalakar</a>'s black and white flowers and fence made me dizzy and disoriented, in a good way.<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5102155">Jens Frederiksen</a>'s handsome rooster. Why do I feel like you risked your face and your lens for this shot, too?<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4151244">Doug Santo</a> -- I can't resist a hummingbird; this one is very pretty, and a perfect balance between sharpness and the blur of the wings.<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5982840">Jamie Harre</a> -- love how the blur infuses this shot with the feeling of action.<br /> I'm sure there will be more later, but thanks as always for sharing. This thread has become the highlight of my week... <br /> PR</p>

<p>Hello everyone..<br>

I didn't take any photos last week and so here's another one from my trip to the Big Cat farm.</p><div></div>

<p>I know there will be more posted later, but some posted this morning really caught my eye.</p>

<p>Lil Judd - Great color and composition. Love the droplets on the petals...great shot.<br>

Phil Butr, Fred Amico, and Erik Christensen...all great shots<br>

Gej Jones - love the reflection of the rose on granite...excellent choice.<br>

Rick Moran - Great Shot...it's almost like he's glaring right at you.<br>

Tim Holte - This may be my favorite so far. I think the goose really completes the shot. Coloring is great, the shore line is beautiful, and the goose in the foreground...perfect.<br>

Martin Z. - Great composition for this time of year...love it.</p>

<p>Great photos everyone else. I'll be back later tonight to have another peek.<br>

RS</p>

<p>Radu - thanks. This was the first time I used a 24mm in such a setting ... since normally my family, who picks the spots, went not for corners!<br /> <br /> Peter - Thanks. This is not an HDR ... the trick here is rather simple ... I used a polarizer!<br>

Emilie - Thanks</p>

<p>Hi everyone!</p>

<p>First, thanks to Lil & Durukan for your comments in last week's thread!<br /> And now to this week's pic. I also didn't have much time to shoot this week, so I scanned <a href="../photo/10912070">this shot</a> I took a month or two ago.</p>

<p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/10912070-lg.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <strong>Nikon F5 + Sigma 24mm f/2.8 + T-Max 400 + SB-28<br /></strong></p>

<p>Hey all- amazing work this time around! A lot of inspiration, no time to point out my biggest favorites so far.</p>

<p>Thought I'd throw this one in- same shoot as last week, a neighbor was reworking his engine from the ground up, and something about the lighting and his intensity caught my eye. Low light, used a high ISO (hence the noise) but somehow it added to the grit of the scene.</p>

<p>Holy Wednesday my dear Nikon colleagues,</p>
