Very nice ... the car is cool, but the background makes the shot.

Incredible. I've seen a lot of train in motion in the tube shots but this is so far beyond the norm. Just perfect.

Did you find him on the set of Lord of the Rings? Anyway, great portrait, full of character with excellent lighting. The closed eyes are such a distinct, interesting touch. Well done.

DeChirrico or Dali and maybe even a little Boris Vallejo and yet still totally original. Well done.

There is much less noise in the original than in this compressed version, although some is certainly present. I think I shot at ISO 800 or so with my 70-200 zoom, probably all the way out and proabably at about f4. I don't like to disturb people at prayer or treat them like animals in a zoo, so I try to maintain a respectful distance and crank up the ISO and use the zoom. It costs me in quality, but I don't think I'd get the shot otherwise. Thanks for your interest!

A pro-immigration supporter confronts members of an America first

rally in Washington. This was a typical Washington protest in that

the protesters were outnumbered by press and police. There were 10

people running to take pics of this guy and the head you see just in

front of the guy with the sign is a cop.

 

Another thing I noticed was how nasty and unpleasent the discourse

was by both groups. It made me feel a bit ashamed of my country.

 

Photgraphically, I wish I could see the guy in the hats face a bit

better.

One of the most beautiful mosques I saw on my trip to Cairo

Very, very well done. A great idea executed perfectly. Amazing how ahrd you have to look to see it's not one picture broken up. How many configuratons did you try before you got this right? anyway ... great, great job.

Gorgous! The best pic I have seen in a while. His pose is just great and the lighting is wonderful.

Just lovely. I've tried this a few times but never with this kind of result.

Love that infrared! very nice compostion

Very nice! I took a few pics here but nothng this nice. I love the moire pattern on the top building. Great work!

Great lens choice! A humerous and ntertaining composition.

nice subtle colors

Nicely posed and great expressions .... however it needs a level adjustment and/or a bit more contrast.

From a store window display in downtown Cairo. They like shiny

mannequins there. Who knew? Anyway, I took this with my pocket

camera at night so the pics a bit noisy, but I find it quite strange

and interesting.

I've always found the Washington Monument fascinating to see but

really boring to photograph. This time, I tried to take some

different shots of it, most of which were failures. But, I do like

this one; it's interesting how it is completely recognizable even

out of focus.

You wouldn't think that a fall this hard to get to would have so

many people around, but on Memorial Day weekend at least, you would

be wrong. However, an effort to avoid having people in the shots

does make one try different lenses and move around a bit more.

The famous windmills of Consuegra in La Mancha, Espana

I didn't ahve a tripod with me so I took this from the railing of

the resteraunt where we ate dinner that night ... great view, lousy

food.

I do often shoot flags ... not out of any kind of patriotic impulse

but just because (a) they give a sense of place and (b) they often

seem to provide the an interesting detail to put at a rule of thirds

point to provide a point of interest for the eye. Thats what I tried

to do here. I shot this with a really long zoom and loved the

refleection of the clouds and the design of the building but the

flag, for me, provides one more point of interest. It did, however,

require a long wait with my hands freezinf until a breeze came along.

Female mose in the grass at Yellowstone. There is something I just

love about the delicacy of the color here and how the colors in the

moose seem to match.

Golden Gate seen from Fisherman Wharf with a 300mm

I wish every city had these - what a cool, civilized way to travel.

For this photo, I was really trying to strike a balance betweeen

filling the frame with the car and still being able to see Alcatraz

in the back.

Usually, I hate wide angle distortion in architecture, but I kind of

like the way it made this look. What do you think?
