Trying square cropping in some of my landscapes.

This is the finishing sprint from the last stage of the Tour of

California. I am undecided if there is too much post proccessing on

this shot. Thoughts?

I shot this on the last day of the Tour of California in Long Beach.

This T-Mobile rider was on point of the break away. It was my first

pro cycling event. Thoughts and comments are welcome and appreciated.

The light was constantly changing while the riders were on course but

I think I managed a good shot. Thought and comments are appreciated.

What's the best way to correct the tilt/perspective on this photo?

Other thought are appreciated as well. Thanks.

Working some things out so please let me know what you think.

Thanks.

I agree, the lighting is very good. I like the way you were able to light the subjects face and still keep just enough light on the coat as to not loose the detail.

Any thoughts and comments are appreciated. I was experimenting with

low key lighting.

This was shot in Red Rock Canyon, North of Los Angeles. It marks

where the foothills of the Sierra Nevada range meets with the Mojave

Desert basin. Any comments are appreciated.

Comments good or bad wanted.

Two 3/3 ratings in the first 10 minutes of this posting and not a single comment to justify it. I thought this site was here so photographers can learn and improve. How is this to happen if cowards are allowed to give low ratings and leave no comment? I've seen this plenty of times, and not just in my photos. Makes me sick. Grow a pair, man (or woman) up, and leave a critique.

Interested in what you might have to say. Thanks for looking.

Still trying out some new things. I thought a high angle approach

to this photo would give it a different look. Any comments are

appreciated.

I'd be interested in what you may think of this photo.

Great tones and color in this photo. I am not sure I like the little bit of a lens flair in the upper right though, but if I cover it up with my finger I miss it. Was it by design or did it just happen?

Any thoughts and comments are welcome. If you are going to give it a

3/3 and not comment, don't bother.

I've shot the poppies in the AV several times and am always amazed by the colors. Well done.

Thoughts and comments are welcome.

Any thoughts or comments are appreciated. A low rating without

comment is worthless to me so please leave something if you rate

this photo on the low side. Also, there seems to be a loss of

contrast from the original and I can't figure out why.

Long hikes are worth it, as are any thoughts and comments you may

have.

Thank you both for the comments. Paul, I was about 45 feet away when I shot this. I have some more that I will add to the folder soon. Thanks again.

This is my first attempt at what might be called street. This was

shot while standing on a corner in San Francisco listening to the

band. Any comments are welcome.

Nice capture. I think it's the tones in this photo that made me stop and look. You've gotta love that time of day.

Another in my natural light series with Marlene. Any comments are

appreciated.
