Howling At the Moon

Nice shot, I like the dark tree limbs against the dark sky; I've always had trouble when the moon is full and I want something other than it included in the shot (it's always too bright given whatever elswe I want - stars, tress, clouds).

Retirement

I like it! Interesting lighting, almost looks like the one is under a spotlight; but are you sure it's the retirement village and not the graveyard? :P

Day 3 - The Namoi

Another excellent shot (you're blowing the curve!), and wonderful postprocessing. Wonderful to look at!

Day 2

I'm working on my b&w skills, too, Todd, it's what I used to shoot in film (almost exclusively unless I was doing snapshots), but I just can't get it right in digital. Anytime I try, I'm just not happy with the results. For this, I would have tried to pick up a bit more detail of the bricks; unless you look really closely, you almost can't see the lines (that may be a function of resizing, I haven't been doing this seriously in digital to know for sure), but I'm guessing the color version shows these quite clearly. This is one of my frustrations in going from color to b&w with desat (by channel mixer or another method). Anyway, that's one thing I may have tried. I like the shot, by the way!

Day 2 - The Road To Nowhere

I love that you kept the road on the right side of the frame and avoided the temptation to center it in the frame. That very well may have worked, but most people (especially on DPC, it seems, in my short experience) center roads, and this gives a different perspective that I like a lot (sort of, standing by the road, rather than driving or walking on it).

Day 1: Shot a young buck with my Canon

Excellent shot, nice composition (did you crop or just take it the way you got it?).

Day 1: Evening Rush Hour

Comment:
Interesting shot, and I love the choice to make it b&w as have so many other commenters; well set up and very interesting all around.

Day 1 - Downtown San Antonio

Comment:
Nice image; I like high angles of cities to get the "whole picture" (puts a city, even a large one, more in context for me). I like the lighting on the building, too, works well and adds a bit of color.

Nice b&w toned image -- I like toning, a bit too much, perhaps ;) but here it works well. I'm a bit distracted by the low branch in the foreground top that cuts into the top part of the house; lowering the angle just a tad may have put this above the house and pointed the viewer to the house. Just a thought!

I think this is a good attempt to convey something about the plant closing, and the dismal way it must feel to be in that area; I've had large plants (not auto) close near where I lived, and driving by them was like driving by a sad ghost town, and this was worse on dreary days; I get that dark feeling from your photo, though I think the composition comments (moving the sign from center) would probably help overall.
