This is just a first draft. Please make suggestions on how to improve

it. I've already decided it'd be a good idea to cut out the buildings

and green hills below. It brings the focus to the actual mountains.

Please comment!

This was done very quickly. All I did was align the top of the mountain to the next image. I will be redoing it with greater intent of removing the obvious "page" appearance where the color of the sky, etc do not match. If you'd like to critique, please do so, but comments directed to the other aspects would be more appreciated.

I'd just like to hear what anyone has to say. This was my first trip

to Colorado and enjoyed it a great deal. Thank you!

These guys are almost ready to leave the nest by now. They were a bit

afraid of me. This guy was giving me a real look, and I had to

capture it.

 

Gamma adjustment saved almost all of the picture, except for his beak.

I'd love your ratings. Please comment if you give bad rating. I

can't get better without critique.

Spring

Winter

I've been trying to get such a closeup for a few months. Butterflies

really don't like being near humans much. This guy had me running all

over, but I did get quite a few nice photos this time.

I went a little flower crazy yesterday and while I plan to upload

these flowers individually soon, I felt the desire to make a mosaic.

I'd love to hear comments.

Very simple shot. I like it a lot, and would love your comments and

ratings. Thank you.

This is Memorial Southwest in Houston, TX. This was taken the day my

daughter was born. I reduced gamma and increased brightness equal

amounts and it brought out the reflected clouds in the windows greatly.

This is the giant wave that results from the Tidal Wave ride at Astroworld (Six Flags in Houston). After riding you have the opportunity to stand on the bridge and let the wave hit you. If you don't hold on to the rail you'll likely get knocked down. I destroyed my old digicam on this shot.

Very serene. What is that in upper right of shot?

Believe it or not, talking to certain lizards will make them curious

enough to stick around and look you over. I was able to get very

close to this one without touching him. He posed for around a dozen

photos.

Incredibly cute kid. Great photo.

Great shot. These are common in Japan?

I lived in Houston the past 4 years and became so accustomed to

experiencing two seasons, called incredibly hot, and cold. There is

no real summer, fall, winter, spring in that city. Im sure it may be

different outside in the suburbs, but in the city the seasons are

dull. I returned to Alabama this winter; everything was brown and the

trees had no leaves. The abundant evergreens threw me off, so I was

very surprised to see Alabama actually does have 4 seasons as things

should be. A week before taking this shot this area was very blah. I

wish I had a good before shot of this one to compare.

This one really caught my eye. I love it. Very moody.

I think this is one of the better falls shots I've seen. The view from above, and the rock face is great. I actually like the shutter speed used here. I can see the details of the water, rather than just a blur.

I haven't seen a better photo in a long time. Might just be that it fits my personality, but this one is great.

I saw a reflective area in the pinestraw one day and noticed this tiny

web. Zoomed and picked the best of the shots for upload. Comments

welcome.

I almost didn't put this shot on here. To fill up space, and to see

which got the most views, I uploaded it anyway. I've gotten a large

number of views, and would love to see how it rates as well.

I'd love a high resolution of this. The clouds, to me, give a lot of depth to this shot.

This one turned out better than that day's other pictures. The clouds

weren't visible to the naked eye due to the sun. The shutter speed

was around 1/2000, and it picked them up.

This skink is about 9 inches long, the biggest I've seen in the wild.

I'm an extreme novice and new to Photo.net, so I welcome critique on

my work. Did I crop too tightly, etc? Thank you.
