Now that's a pretty cool, and "different", take on a well-known often-photographed subject!

That's kinda cool seeing all of those silhouettes against a beautiful red sunset.

The patterns (lines, colors) are really nice here. The shallow DOF works very nicely as well.

Yes! I like good macro shots (not just closeups) and this looks like macro to me. Well done!

I like it a lot! Wish I were there!

The sun isn't really that low, is it? Instead it's a reflection off the water, right? How cool is that?!? It's an awesome shot!

The good news is ... nature granted you an interesting sky to play with. :-)

I don't know if you photoshop'd this already... I suspect you did because of the color of the sky. In any case, if you haven't... you might try duplicating this setting the layer to multiply. Reduce it way down so you have just a touch of multiply on it. That will bring out the yellows and reds in the ground and deepen the blue of the sky. Anyway, just something to play with.

Light at the Entrance of the Tunnel

This is kind of cool. It's perhaps a bit overexposed ... the yellow seems a little harsh on the ground inside the tunnel and I really wouldn't mind if the area outside the tunnel was darker. So you could darken it all up in photoshop. I'd probably duplicate the image onto another layer and select Multiply and then reduce the opacity down to where it looks good.

Wow, this image is totally awesome. I love the depth of the blacks against the sunset and the sharp detail of the fishing pole. Composition and everything is just perfect! Straight to the faves.
