Ahh BAM - there ya go.  This one is sexy!  

Beautiful colors - however my ONE complain is that my eyes tend to go right to the middle and are stuck there.  Off center might have been another way to go.  Sweet shot nevertheless!!  Well done The horizontal line in the bottom 3rd.  Photos like this are all about getting your eyes to move around the entire image. 

I've been waiting for a snow fall with large flakes to get some minds eye photography.

Finally got one when I was about to attended a meeting. The start Blake and white

gives it an edgy feeling.

My peripheral vision caught this. When I stopped to take a photo it lost it's luster so I

created what my peripheral vision saw.

I cruise past 90% of images and this one caught my eye and here I am so that is a victory for the image.  HOWEVER - if I am forced to look for a fault I would say I would like to see the pillow cases farther on the right side of the photo so it one fell off I would not be lost immediately off the edge of the image.  

Perhaps there is some unseen reason for this angle.  Well done!! 

Stopped at a RR crossing I had this photo I loved but I could not get that feeling I was

having. So I do what I do. Love the industry in the background and lighting.

My goal is to take belief to the edge and have people question "what

is that". By doing this I force them to look a little longer at the

image.

I really wanted an old WWII-like look on this B17. Printed on

metallic paper it looks great! Sadly I can not get that feel on canvas.

A lucky Clydesdale that was rescued. I did some horse portraits and he

was so kind and gentil . . and HUGE.

These girls really wanted to have their photo taken . . .but not too

close.

So many nudes, all so boring. Well done - something different!! 

To me the left side takes away from the main subject. The hair.  I would crop this perfectly square Around the girl. To me THAT would be the perfect shot.

well done on the capture.

It was always cloudy and overcast so I just went with the feeling. The

barn was black so . . . .

I've done this in B&W and a few other ways but this one who's color is a little more saturated in real life seems to be the winner so far.  The coloring does seem to draw peoples eyes towards it (and pocket books  :-)

Almost lost my camera - 50mph winds decided to carry off my tripod and

camera when I had my back turned for a second.

Here is the problem - while the technique is grand - what makes this different then the other 2000 drop photos on this site.  I'm not trying to flame you as it's technically well done but . . . it goes into the same category of close of an Eagle head.  Been there done that!     You have some photos SO much better!  The Autumn ones are SWEET!! 

I had been waiting for better clouds for 4 days after a 22 inch snow

fall. But none were on the . . . horizon and the show was starting to

drop from the trees. So with gray sky I decided to make this a B&W

of a B&W scene.

Loven this HDR.  Excellent work, very impressionistic.

Excellent - Bravo! 

Had the chance to visit the tomb of Lincoln - really nice place in

Springfield IL. 100MM lens in case you are wondering.

Forgot about that fence on this one, thanks
