Very very nice - I love this - excellent! 

Sandeep - I have found that 90% of the time 3 images are all you need unless you are shooting into the sun or there is an incredible amount of contrast.  Photomatix was the HDR Tool and then final touches in Photoshop.  This is much better on the non-internet versions.  I've found that HDR actually looks BETTER printed then on a monitor.   Thanks

My monitor is really poor and I need a better one - I've noticed a number of images lately that are a little extreme when printed.  I can see why this COULD be a little much.   TY 

Excellent - to bad there is JUST a little too many leaves to obscure the building JUST a little too much.   Not sure how the wind was but getting the rushing stream with a longer with a slower shutter speed would have been a nice experiment.  Well done as is though!!

I normally do everything in canvas but Black & White? Any suggestions

with framing would be appreciated.

After touring the sub I was outside and had this nostalgic vision of

what I wanted the shot to look like.

Yea - I could not back up far enough without getting wet.  I tried cropping to top tighter but that was all wrong.  The water color is the odd thing and at first I wanted to fix it but then the more I looked at it . . no . . keep it.  Better then the REAL color (green)

I have two versions of this image, the other has that distressed,

gritty look. Seems 50/50 on what people like more.

Sorry but it looks like it hurts to bend that way.  Plus the old hair water thing has been done to death.

This is sweet - I have been thinking about doing more window art.  I like the fact that there is no frame around the window - my feeling with window are would be to include some of the room but this by itself works wonderfully.   Put this on a large Gallery Wrap.  I could see an entire booth with window art . . . hmmmm!

Oddly some of the lowest rated pieces on photo.net are some of my best sellers!   I have this on 20x30 canvas and would think a bank would love it!  LOL

I gave ya a 4 and I thought I would explain.  I just feel that it's a little too . . . electric.  Very nice but over the edge of believability.  I would like to see this a little less saturated but keep the edginess.  

I love these guys - can't wait to see what they are doing next!  I hope they start a blog LOL - Rod

One thing you always have to have in a sports photo is the face or the front side.

WELL DONE!!!!   I LOVE this! 

I started taking a lot of umbrella photos and appreciate these.

First of all - I like ALL of your work.  Well done!!  But this one - if you are looking for Wall Art I say crop the dude out.  But for personal fun art - well . . . I like the guy but he does draw attention away from the main focus which is  tiny dude.

This shot had so much upside if the people were doing something interesting. I love the HDRness without going outside the envelope (getting all electrified).   Even that one couple is heading "outside" the photo (see what I mean?)  Still I like this kind of photography. applause!  

I don't know what the hell it is but I like it.  Makes me smile!  Thanks!

People either like the sun flare or think it is a flaw! I feel it

gives the illusion of brightness!

I felt if the whole image was sunflowers the eye would not have a

chance to rest so I wanted more focus. Thanks for looking! Rod

Ha - this shot reminds me to take photos of TV antennas - things never used anymore - such as hammers when shingling.
