A nice mix of ingredients? Cheers, John.

Just printed this at 13x19.... here's a 1024 size jpeg

Jope you like, larger is a tad better I think, cheers, John.

Terrific composition; Ump, Pitcher, Fielder... perfect focus and crowd blur is just right. Top shelf! Cheers, John.

Thank you Lesa, Nevzat, David and Lesa (again) for your kind words, cheers John.

It's an 'engaging' photo (excuse the pun). Nice use of soft natural light, its so flattering. You may want to consider straightening the horizon and then call it 'done'. Cheers, John.

Wonderful detail and colour, a shot I would think all macro nature photograhers would love to have in their portfolio. Cheers, John.

Terrific composition and range of tones. Well spotted, cheers, John.

Another from the lunchtime 1 hr challenge, this time RAW file

processed. What a difference using a calibrated monitor makes!

Cheers, John.

Lunchtime Challenge Part 2 - Same rules as before, 1hr, get out there

grab some shots and quick edit of the jpeg. This guy cooperated

completely, hope you like. Cheers, John

Stalking fish at sunset. Never did get one though. Cheers, John.

Part of a self imposed 1 hour lunchtime challenge. Get out of the

office, find the shot, get back, edit and post. I'll probably end up

doing more work on it and fine tuning tone n such at another time.

Hope you like, Cheers, John.

First attempt at some simple still life stuff. Critique most welcome.

Cheers, John.

Top shelf work!

Nice moody shot. The only thing I would like to not see is the line from the back of the womans head to the heart shaped thing. Its minor, but it looks like the heart shaped thing is tied to her head. Love the framing by the verticals and of course excellent light. Cheers, John.

Looks like an Alien Pirhana fire spewing Dragon Flower! Just a Pansy.

Cheers, John.

Smooooooth as glass! Wonderful colour.

What looks like a pretty average shot at first can be dramatically transformed in 5 mins with some help from PS. I wish I knew how to attach a quick edit I did. But apply some curves ajustment and unsharp mask and you will be amazed. Ha! figured it out. Thoughts?

I really find self portraits tough. This one (of about 15 tries) came

out mmm ok ish I think, cheers, John.

Beautifully soft yet great detail. Perfect tone!

First attempt at this type of image, how did I do? Cheers, John.

striking portrait! I like the tight crop.

btw.... larger view is freeking awesome!

Breathtaking! I am inclined to agree with Marco's crop idea though.

stunning clarity and bob on exposure. The image really pops out!

I often debate to myself the composition of these type of shots; center? slightly off center? way off center? thoughts? Did you try a variety?

Either way, tremendous image.
