these giant chain links are cemented into the mortar pit walls at fort dade, on egmont key, fla.

your thoughts are most welcome.

this one jumped right out at me... it communicates a lot even though it shows little. here's my one suggestion: since the bottom of the photo (the ground) is black, why not add a little at the bottom, to make the strip of ground wider. it might balance things out a bit.

i believe these are the "teepee" hills. I drove right by them and didn't think much of them a few months ago, but you captured them quite nicely. my only suggestion would be a very slight crop on the left, so as to center up the middle hill. i've enjoyed your entire folder... very nice work!

i can see where thai is coming from, but for me, i don't need the tops of the mountains. this is nicely balanced as-is, and definitely makes me want to be there.

an alternate to the b/w version. your thoughts are most appreciated.

harm, i'd try applying a warming filter in PS, overall it's too green as it is, at least to me. of course, since the title is "green", maybe that's what you're going for. hope that helps.

nathan and william, thanks. i did almost nothing in ps, just rotated and cropped a bit. the blur comes from the speed of the car and slow shutter speed. the camera was balanced on the dashboard.

thanks again for commenting!

well, at least it was fun to take. your thoughts are appreciated.

nick, you've done a lovely job with the northwest as well... thanks for stopping by.

also check out the b/w version in my fla. folder. these are the ruins

of a turn-of-the-20th century power plant, on an Egmont Key, an island

near St. Petersburg, Fla. your thoughts are welcome.

i understand the crop now that I've read your explanation on your website. this scene might be worth stopping for, next time you're nearby. I'd like to see a little more of the valley floor (the ground at the bottom of the poles). A polarizer may also get rid of some of that haze and make the sky more blue. all that said, this is a great catch from a moving car!

a couple of birds I spotted on Merritt Island, Fla. did I make the

right choice on dof? your thoughts are most appreciated.

wow. a year after i posted it, and it's still getting a response. that's quite a complement. thank you all.

you'll also find a tighter shot in my fla. folder. your thoughts

are most appreciated.

you'll also find a b/w version in my folder. what do you think?

...quite literally, halfway to the coral reef off Key Largo, in the

Fla. keys. i'm sure this is one that has more meaning to me than to

anyone else, but i'd still like to hear your thoughts.

also a color one in my fla landscape folder... what do you think?

a blue heron? i don't really know my birds, but I found this guy in

the everglades. your comments are most welcome.

I wish he had turned around. Lighting was tough, just the porch

light, so any suggestions on improving the color would be welcome.

different indeed, and good. i almost didn't see the feet at first, i wonder if you could make some minor adjustments so they show up, just a bit better? thanks, -daniel

taken at night, nothing but a red christmas light to light the shot,

so i tried to correct the color a bit. also, i cropped out the

lightbulb thinking it was a distraction. any suggestions? you like?

looks like it could be the opening scene in some sort of horror movie. it's chilling.

i really like this, the foreground building is bold, the sky is great, the road too. i wish the barn in the background was just a little further to the left, maybe cropping a litte off the left would improve the balance.

Vrindavan and janet, thank you both! I was a little disappointed with the focus too, although I wanted the range of focus to be a little more shallow, and have the first bird be the one in focus... but it turned out the third one was sharpest. i guess it still works well though. thanks again.

your thoughts please.
