23 - Pod
by ErikV

Comment:
I like the detail in the seed pod, and the composition of this image. The water is overexposed, losing the exquisite textures of the snow particles at the center of the snow. It's a tough trick to shoot snow with anything else because it is so strongly reflective. I generally shoot it at the highest EV level that I can see the detail in the snow when doing macro, then bring levels up on the other things in the shot in processing.
You may want to shoot with wide dynamic range setting with the D80 when shooting snow too, which will also help with that. There is huge EV range between the black stem and the brilliant white snow in this shot.

Winter Geese Fields

The sky certainly looks ominous in this shot, but the geese look very happy. That is a lot of geese. We never see them in Florida in the wild.

That is a beautiful place. The water must be cold. I don't see anyone out in it.
The low angle on the grass in the foreground sets up a line that leads right out to the horizon. That is good composition.

Camera therapy? I want to have a closer look at the gate posts on the right to see if there are some good images to be found there. Lovely treatment of the edges of the road, with the contrast accented.

With a little photoshop clone job, this would make a great beer commercial! I like the "single light" effect and the dark sky in this shot.

Herons are camera hogs, they get in a lot of my shots too. DOF works well to isolate the bird from the water behind it. That's a nice lens that you used for this.

This makes an interesting abstract. Did you get closer and see if you could shoot just a few of the ripples of snow?

You had the right lens for this shot. That is a lovely bokeh of rose.

The toning and cloud reflections in the water help to make this an interesting shot. The tone helps it look rather timeless.
