I was lucky enough to get this shot from inside my car on Skyline

Drive -- critiques welcome

This Siamese cat wandered into our yard last week and we've been

trying to fatten him up. Here he's looking at me and thinking "Food?"

Sorry, but this is most certainly a magnolia, not a cherry tree. The cherry blossoms were all gone over a week ago. That said, this is a nice shot. I find it hard to shoot magnolias because the flowers seem to wilt, turn brown and fall off by the time I get to them. This one looks great, though.

Very cool. Statues like this can actually look great in harsh light, and it looks like that's what you had here.

I'll bet you wish you could have gotten right up there with the angels so you could get a shot of all of them in a row... Photographers will be very happy if they ever start selling jet packs to the public...

This guy was running around after fish outside the power plant in

Tampa Electric Plant. I still think there's something off about this

photo. It was, after all, taken in very harsh, direct sunlight. Any

advice on how this can be improved?

I know I'm not the first one to photograph these puddles -- I think I

should have asked the boy to pose so I could get his face in the

reflection... oh well

I can't believe there are people out there who see this freeway as an

eyesore and want to tear it down. I intend to prove that the

Whitehurst Freeway is about as beautiful as an urban freeway can be.

Comments welcome.

Air Force Memorial in Arlington, Virginia -- a really cool new

monument in my own back yard. If you're ever in DC, take a trip

across the river to see this -- it's a great monument to photograph.

Comments welcome.

If you're not sick to death of cherry blossoms, here's one more photo.

This was taken along the Potomac, where they let the trees grow a

little more naturally than the ones around the Tidal Basin. I was

trying to capture that happy feeling of the first day of spring. Any

comments?
