I like this, but I like ferns anyway. The wide crop helps a lot with this by accenting the line of focused tips on the fern. I have a feeling that this was done with the Vivitar instead of the Nikkor. It just has that wonderful shallow DOF that's not attainable with f3.5, unless you were using the new ext tube to get in close with the 18-135.

This is one of the most creative "woodie" shots so far at DPC. On the lawn is the perfect setting for this, and it's great in B&W too.

I love old abandoned places like this. The toning, the comp with the mountains in the BG sort of repeating the rooflines work for this subject, giving it a look of a place photographed long ago.

I like the simplicity in this, and that it sort of leads into oblivion.

DPC tutorial about preparing images for DP Challenges.
If you have Photoshop, maybe this will help. The max image size in pixels has changed to 800 pixels on the longest side since this tutorial was posted. If you don't have Photoshop, you can post a new thread, or research some of the older threads here about simpler ways to get the desired pixel count and file size. The file size thing confused me for a while, but someone here helped me learn how to set the file size.
This is a nice photo. Keep shooting and enjoy your time with your camera.

I thought this was cool, esp with the old Dodge Dart. It's good to see you around again.

Impressive feather detail. I can't seem to do that because I tend to underexpose black birds. It looks like another eye in the corner, very cool.
