not exactly an original shot, but still curious to know what others think

regarding its appeal. thanks!!

not all photography is art...but this is art in every sense of the word. wonderful in every regard.

beautiful light excellently captured! exposure is perfect. great contrast between cold and warmth. the longer i look at it, the more i like it.

another one from this classic scene of Ranooch Moor. the heather was past

its prime, but there was still the odd patch that had some good color. this

one was tough as there was a cold wind blowing strong and i tried time this

shot in between gusts of wind to minimize the blur of the vegetation, but

couldn't avoid it all. thoughts, comments and critiques are greatly

appreciated. thanks!!

to me, this represents a lot of what the northeast of england has to offer:

gloomy weather, castles and the north sea. hope you like it! all thoughts,

comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

very interested to hear what others think of this one - this is very similar to a

recent post (Morning Mood) but with this one i took B&W approach and

pano crop to this one. curious to know what you think of this alone, but also

compared to my previous post. all thoughts, comments and critiques are

greatly appreciated - thanks!!

hey there - another shot from my recent and very brief visit to Canyonlands

NP - all thoughts, comments and critiques are greatly appreciated. thanks!!

thanks to all for your comments. it's nice to hear from those more familiar with the area that they feel this captures the sense of the place. i think that is something we all strive to do. thanks again!!

i had a single morning to take advantage of at Canyonlands NP in Utah. i

had hoped (as always) for a memorable display of dawn light, but the east

sky ended up shrouded in cloud and a horribly cold wind was blowing. i

persevered for a little while and managed to produce a couple pics that i'm

reasonably happy with. all thoughts, comments and critiques are greatly

appreciated.

 

does the cliff along the left side distract? i tried cropping it but find the loss

of the yellow bush and the branch tips annoying.

upon arrival to Ranooch Moor, this classic scene was dark, cloudy and

gloomy. i think these conditions were just right to convey the feel of the

place. all thoughts, comments and critiques are grealty appreciated. thanks

for viewing!

a classic location on Scotland's Ranooch Moor. the day before this area

had been thick with cloud, but the next morning there wasn't a cloud to be

seen. i was almost complaining that the conditions were too good - no

clouds for added color, mood. but, alas, i came away pretty happy all things

considered. thoughts, comments, and critiques are all greatly appreciated.

thanks!!

my first post after a long absence...taken just over a month ago on a

backpacking trip into Jasper's Tonquin Valley. the morning began very

misty (and cold) and it was only after waiting for over an hour that the mist

cleared enough to reveal the mighty Ramparts across the lake. all thoughts,

comments and constructive criticisms are greatly appreciated. thanks for

viewing!

lovely warm tones. the silhouetted spruce make the shot.

it's not often i prefer one of my images in black and white, but this

scene was already very monochromatic. i feel that black and white

better emphasizes the contrasts and textures in the scene. all

thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated! thanks.

all thoughts, comments and critiques are greatly appreciated. cheers!

exquisite colors! great reflection! nicely polarized sky! clearly, i love this shot! i have seriously got to visit the scotish highlands. thanks!!

anish - i too love this shot. everything works seamlessly together. the deep color in the sky and the crisp white really make this one 'pop'. great!

great shot Don! a very powerful image. the placement of elements is perfect, colors are wonderful and the bird adds important context. great!

great image. this says so much about the calm, quiet and simple beauty of winter.

a powerful image that captures the raw beauty of iceland. clearly another reason why i must one day visit this incredible place. thanks!

that's intense! you can almost see the movement of the clouds and feel the wind.

great shot! i like the trees. they provide a nice anchor to the right side of the image, allowing the eye to focus on the other great elements.

i think this photo speaks to the reason why we all love photography. i can only imagine that a morning like this is one that would be one to remember. fantastic!

love it. just love it. fantastic color and sharpness. really great pic.

drama. awesome.
