would be better without the bicycle....and people....and the crooked horizon....and....well, shall i go on?

 

this is one of the many wild horses in Corolla, NC.... i dubbed him

shaggy though he probably has been named already....thoughts?

I met this beautiful girl on the way to the obx a few weeks ago...she

was very friendly and was 'posing' for me the whole time...

 

i've been influenced by the last issue of Outdoor Photographer i read

recently that had a nice article about backlit subjects....comments?

very nice. all the pelicans in the outer banks seem to be anti-social....good capture

One of the benefits of living near the outer banks is the many

species of geese and duck that visit during the winter...i was

stalking these guys the better part of the afternoon and for one last

shot, they flew away, very tired from my presence....comments?

sometimes you dont even have to try...you just go somewhere and God

presents you with an amazing scene. this was such time... i didnt

even have to touch this up in photoshop, it really was this briliant

there...just to think, thousands of fishermen spend days at a time

near this spot, but probably never noticed this before....comments?

After posting so many pics of my roomates dog i decided to finally

show my own puppy.... thoughts?

this is an awesome picture...the quality isnt that good probably cause of your scanner, but the composition is amazing. I love seabirds, as common as they are, and you have captured one of the coolest aspects of photographing them....taking off and landing...

My roomates dog bailey right after taking a drink, right after

playing like crazy with my dog. It's amazing they stay still enough

for you to photograph them.....i appreciate comments over

ratings...

That is adorable beyond words....on the technical side, the eyes do seem a bit unfocused... perhaps some unsharp mask?

this is my neighbors chow...he was out taking a bathroom break and

popped between me and the sun while i was busy photographic my

dogs...i saw the brilliant shine through his light and inspiration

struck....comments are very much appreciated over ratings....

this is awesome.....

good composition, but the colors seem a little flat...doesnt quite 'pop' for me

I envy this shot. I was shooting some ducks yesterday ( that doesnt sound right...) and lemme tell ya, it was contrast hell. Out of 100 or so, maybe 2-3 keepers... dark duck against dark water...ugh....

 

but you have a keeper

If the other photos in your portfolio werent actual good, i would tear this one apart...but i will leave with just....: i dont get it

I was originally going to label this one 'dime a dozen' because I

know waterfalls are very cliche'. However, I live near the beach and

this is my first time seeing a waterfall in about, oh, 15-20 years,

so I couldnt help myself.

 

Regardless, any comments?

This was my second visit to the blue ridge parkway in VA. The first

was overcast and yucky. Im learning more on handling landscapes and

compensating for a bright sky..... taken during early morning and

touched up a bit in photoshop to compensate for the d1's limited

dynamic range... comments?

Very sexy...

Comments? I spooked these guys when they were on the ground and quick

thinking made me decide to capture them...

 

I lost my laptop today and almost lost my jeep on todays beach bound

excursion to a huge puddle, so feel free to give me some extra

sympathy points :)

does the other bird in the background add or detract from the

composition? Im on the fence on this one myself....thoughts?

 

please comment.....

To tell the truth, i dont know if they are considered flowers or

flowering weeds. An interesting backstory, i saw these on some dirt

paths being made for a new development. They will soon be killed off

in favor of some new houses...thus the title...

 

i've decided to start concentrating on nature related images, so

would appreciate some critiques of one of my first flower-related

images.....

 

please leave comments if you rate, and tell me what you like or dont

like...

this guy was posing for me yesterday...comments?

i had the guys on the doc all lined up, when their friends decided to

join in. My brain said "um, the decisive moment is happening NOW!

take this!!"....so i did.....one of my favs out of 2 256mb CF cards

full of shots.... comments?

 

p.s. please comment if you do decide to rate...i appreciate any

comments, good or bad

good shot anne. i never considered myself a bird photographer, but lately i just keep shooting them more and more often. white birds are hard to get a good shot of...as suggested try an overcast day, or catch one in some shade...
