Thanks Marc....Yeah...here in Connecticut, when i shot this photo it was about 40 Deg Farenheit, so it was a bit cool. You should have seen me..lol...not only golves, but hat, scarf, 3 shirts, ski jacket, and Winter hat with ear covers.

Nice Job Jeff.

 

Nice subtle colored background and detail in the Egret!

Great Job Cary!

Robert, this image was shot right around 9:00pm on August 18th

1/160 sec @ f13 using a Nikon 500mm f4 ISO 200 on a D300.

 

If i remember correctly,( i don't have the original in my work 'puter, this image is just resized , but not cropped.

 

I was out shooting for a bit today, when i came upon these two strange

Log mates. A Great Blue heron, and a Painted turtle.

 

Maybe the Heron was more interested in me, and didn't pay too much

attention to the turtle, who knows.

Well anyway, comments and critiques are always welcome, and as

always, thanks for looking.

Cheers

sage brush.

I was working with the new D700 over the weekend on some AUtumn

flowers (Chrysanthemum, which i'm certain i spelled wrong LOL).

 

Thoughts and comments on this one would be appreciated.

 

Thanks for looking!

This guy was hangining around my house over the weekend, and he let

me takes some shot of him with my new Nikon D700.

 

Not sure what kind of spider this is, and i wish i had a bit more DoF, but

nothing a little more practice can't handle.

 

It still gives me the "willys"

Thanks for looking.

 

Cheers

Well done.

 

Absolutely wonderful mood created here. Almost like a Thomas Kinkaid painting.

 

Congratulations!!!!!!!

OMG Monte!

 

This is very, very cool.

Congrats on a great shot!

Lots of moons images these days. How's mine?

 

One if the first i've tried. Your thoughts and comments would be

appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Very beautiful Brenda!

 

Excellent sharpness, DoF and Composition.

 

Wonderfully done!

As always, your input is valuable, so please do leave comments and

critiques for this image.

 

 

Thanks very much for looking.

Cheers!

Thanks for the input Steve. I'll give it a try.

 

One thing i must concentrate on more is taking my time when editing. I think sometimes i rush things along too much, and don't look at all the possibilities on my images.

 

Thanks again.

Thanks very much Lacey!

Thanks Leroy and Rejith.

 

I do like the brightness of the greens in your version Leroy. I'm gonna work on that adjustment next.

 

Thanks again for your input.

Playing with the levels in CS3. What do you think.

Comments and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks for looking. Cheers

Chris,

 

Thanks for your comments. the short answer, is Yes..to both.

 

I kind of like the lower right hand corner brush, as it helps kind of frame the mountain relection in my view, so i would like to keep it there, but in Lacey's edit with cloning out the small brush piene in the left, i think that helps alot.

It is distracting.

 

And Lacey, no i don't mind at all. Thanks for your input and cloning idea.

I have a very bad habit of rushing my edits. That, coupled with a lack of working knowledge of PS Elements 6 really limits me as to what i'm doing. This is why this is more or less an experiment. But the more i look at this, the more i like this better than the color version, as you are right, it does show the contrast, and "depth" ikn the mountains better.

Thanks to both of you for great advice!

Here's a black & white conversion, i was experimenting with. What do

you think?

Comments & Critiques would be greatly appreciated on this.

 

Thanks for looking

 

Cheers!

Matt,

 

I like the colors in this very much, but the only really nit I could come up with is the Horizon is askew/tilted up left to right.

 

If you could straighten it out, that would make it better. But nice job!

Thanks very much Steve!

 

I could probably turn this into "alot more" in PS....If i knew how (lol).

Again thanks for yor kind words.
