I hope I got the horizon straight on this one. :-)

Yourthoughts are welcome.

i'd like for the yellows and oranges to reach a little higher into the sky, or maybe a few more clouds up there. but consider that a minor nit-pick. This shot caught my eye out of the list of recent posts... it's very powerful and the back story makes it even better. thanks for sharing.

any thoughts?

i didn't see a single one. maybe the rednecks had a big barbeque during the last bucs game! or target practice......

Seriously though, I think I might go back on another night, sometime when a full moon is hanging low in the sky. There are always a lot of birds on the radio towers, and I'd love to get a shot of one silhouetted against the moon. It might also provide some better light for the other odd subjects around there.

Do you ever sell your photos? I know a good place that offers a wall for free to photographers. It's the Java 'n Cream ice cream shop on Davis Islands, and I have about 15 pieces hanging there this month. The owner is very nice, and you get to expose your work to the south tampa crowd. I'm sure your stuff would do well... you should stop in.

is this anything?

i do like it... nicely merged.

lawrence, i couldn't agree more. it's something I didn't notice at first, but now I can see it. the area probably isn't compelling enough for a re-shoot... but if i'm in the area sometime, i might try a slightly lower, or higher position.

laurie, so good to hear from you! the "totem poles" are on the pinellas side, underneath the radio tower, on the opposite side of the road from the friendship bridge trailhead. I took a lot of stuff there last weekend, when the skies were so clear. none of it is probably "sellable"... but it was fun making this nasty stretch of beach look at least somewhat nice.

thanks!

your thoughts please.

talk to me.

talk to me.

I removed the sticker that was in the corner of the window...

better?

your thoughts are most welcome. hope landscape is the proper

category for this one.

love the effect you accomplished here.

if you know tampa, you know where this was taken... the famous "world's longest sidewalk" along bayshore boulevard and tampa bay. I've seen plenty of pictures of it, but wanted to try something a little different.

Your comments are most appreciated, good or bad.

I combined three images into one to get plenty of headlights and

taillights. your thoughts are appreciated, good or bad.

This is a particularly nasty beach, right at the side of the road,underneath a pair of giant radio towers. A great place for people whowant to get drunk and shoot off fireworks, thus the name. My goal wasto make it look, well, nice. What do you think? If your travel agentshowed you this picture, would you book a trip?

Thanks for yourcomments.

yeah... i think i agree about the sticker... but i thought i'd post it as-is and see if anyone else was bothered by it. it'll be easy enough to brush out, i think. amazingly, you can't really tell just how dirty my vehicle is! thanks for your comments.

there's also an alternate version in my folder, cropped to just show

the tower and trees... i'd love to know which one you think works

better. thanks for your feedback.

... and i have definitely never seen a cow from quite this perspective before. great capture... maybe burn the tongue a little?

love how the background colors work well with the foreground.

i think i like this shot of the sign better than the other. keep the pole, otherwise the barbed wire would be mysteriously floating in mid-air.

i'll be darned, there's an east amboy? I guess I should have driven a little farther (i turned south at Roy's and headed for Joshua Tree NP). have you tried converting this to b/w? I bet you could really bring out the words in the sign with some adjustments.

went on a shooting spree at sunset... this is just one... see my fla

folder for others if you'd like... or leave a comment if you'd like...

thanks.

your thoughts are most appreciated.

now i wish i had stopped here... i arrived at the park just before sunset, not realizing they force you out of the park and close the gates when it gets dark, so i had to rush through. and yes, the petrified parts of the park were less exciting than i had hoped, also.
