Studebaker in the woods behind my inlaws house. Taken Christmas
Eve. 70-300mm IS at 70mm (Av f/4 ISO800 1/60s)... I only took my
long lens because I hoped to find some deer, but I only found hoof
prints and droppings among these rusty cars.

Passion Play : outdoor Easter re-enactment
Several local churches have collaborated in presenting the Easter story in an outdoor play for the past 22 years.
The pictures work best in context of the entire story:

Great portfolio Mark. Incredible variety.... scenic canyons, bull fighting, rodeo, hot air balloons, international travel. Your 70-200/2.8IS really gets a good workout. I like the whole series of native dancers here... especially the variety of shutter speeds. They really work best as a series collection. This one stood out with the overlay... an effective way to convey the motion, yet keep the crisp focus by not dragging the shutter. -
Great portfolio. I really like this one. It'd be a fine floral close-up without the bee, but the in-flight timing makes it even better. Great focus, tight DoF, clean background, nice bokeh. I'd crop out the very bottom to get rid of the stray blossom...

You probably already levelled the horizon, and I understand your original concern about keeping the wave level when taking the picture, but for anyone else that's curious to see how a 4 degree rotate looks...

I think the honest laugh on the little girl's face is where the energy is. If the horizon is a potential distraction to you, the subjects, or some mere viewers, then level it out. But the original angle also adds a candid snapshot twist to the scene, so it works fine either way.
Or as a compromise, if your original (non-level) print ended up in a scrapbook, it would be great to give it a slight twist on the page to orient the horizon to the edges of the page. Crooked, but straight. Best of both worlds.

I love the reflection and the ripples. The object in the middle of the water seemed a bit distracting. Maybe a little tighter crop?...

Wow. I really like this one. Three different drips: attached to the upper pipe, falling with blurred motion, and splattering after contact with fine, fast mist. Distinct secondary subjects with perfectly executed defocus (this was all optical, no post-processed defocus, right?) beyond the primary depth of field. If anything, the headlights may be a little too strong and distracting, but overall, I really like the total "simple complexity" of the scene. -
>> I agree, although I wouldn't mind some desaturation or better still a complete b&w conversion.I agree... B&W would probably help the white clipping and the ashy/clay face patches on the other side. Great craggy textures.

Very clever. Worked well with kids/siblings, but I'd love to see this one with a couple, evoking a summer romance. -

Hawk in Neighborhood Woods - Spring is here so yesterday I took my first morning photo hike of the season down the neighborhood walking path

Spring is here so yesterday I took my first morning photo hike of the season down the neighborhood walking path with my 70-300 IS (handheld).
I took several shots of this guy. Flipping through the files on my PC, I thought this sequence would make a funny animated GIF:

I'm amazed at some of the bird shots posted here. It's a lot harder than it looks... waiting to see any bird, hopefully close enough, hopefully without a branch obstructing the view, then focus and fire before he flies off. Sounds simple, but I think birds are the toughest subjects that I've tried to shoot so far.
