<p>Matt, where are those rocks? Interesting country, and great series. "Nick that duck shot is awesome!" Patrick, I loved those leaves.<br>

I found a few birds outside my bedroom window, shot them with my K20D and the Tamron 65B 400mm. Hard to get the focus, but I will keep working.<br>

<p>I obviously don't know how to include photos from my workplace into a forum thread, but will give it another try. I thought that I should use that little green thingy at the top of this box, but that didn't work last night.<br /> <br /> http://www.photo.net/photo/16622693<br>

<p>Thanks John (and everyone else who commented). They are at a place called <a href="http://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/gfo/recreation_information/hike-info/hike-trails/hartman.html">Hartman Rocks recreation area</a>. It's where I do the majority of my mountain biking because I can just ride it from my house. It's about 2 miles away from home and has 100 miles of trails of varying difficulty that can be linked in seemingly limitless combinations. I love that place! It's also pretty unique geologically and obviously very scenic.</p>

<p>Roger - nice reflection shot! Love the colors. <br />Yury - I like #3 for all that texture. The submerged tires especially. A closer shot of those would be interesting too I bet.<br />Patrick - nice light in that first one. Backlit leaves are fun, even if they aren't real.<br />Nick - like I said the duck shot is super. I think it could use a little more TLC via PP to really make it pop. Maybe lighten the birds and increase contrast on the water patter and it might just pop off the screen. The panda is a close second.<br /><br /></p>
