little cabin in the mountains

This is an incredible shot, I really like this one. The trees, shadows, clouds - what a great mix of textures. The only thing I would have done different is maybe a little more black border to make the white of the image really pop! It blends a little too much with the gray background of this website and subsequently loses some of image contrast when viewing. <9>

Exquisite Gaze

Great colors and textures, classic Librodo type picture. The steely eyes are just a little to sharp for me, I would have liked them a little softer, but no points off for that! This one will score well. Nice job.

This is an absolute <10>! Outstanding shot! Superb stop action, DOF, colors, details, texture...I can't say enough about it. I'll be VERY disappointed if this doesn't ribbon. Wow! The space on the left side is begging for some action, perhaps cropping just a "little" off would great, but definitely not taking any points off for it! Lovely shot - makes my Fav list.

Nice collection. I would have liked a deeper DOF on this picture.

Hey, I was thinking of going do National Bridges State Park in Santa Cruz and doing the same thing! Love the colors on this one. I have seen some tighter grouping of butterflies though, that may have come across better. The blue sky adds to this pic!

Incredible pic! The framing of the tree, the man in the field, the mountain background - absolutely gorgeous! I have to make this a fav.
