This is a butt kickin' image. I also like "dark' images a lot, but normally they go "thud" when they hit the bottom in the challenges here. This is just excellent! The eyes are the key here.

This is a very nice abstract of color and shapes. I like that the softness takes the edge off any details, so that you can sort of absorb the image instead of studying it.

Going Ashore

That is a nice pan shot, keeping the boat relatively sharp, and letting everything else slide by a bit. I also like the little burst of red and white in an otherwise plain looking scene.

That's just enjoyable! I keep stopping typing to go up and look again.

That is an intresting combination you are shooting with. I had to look up the CP8800 to see what it was. Shooting in NM helps a lot I would guess, as it is normally a bit hazy here in Florida. I am curious about the HP gadget, which I would guess was quite expensive. I have moon shots with a 1,000 f11 Meade mirror lens, and it was not this clear at 100% crop. Part of that was due to camera shake, as the S3Pro has no mirror lockup, and the rest atmospheric interference. I have not experimented with it in the winter yet, as I haven't had it that long. The sky is better here in the winter.

Woo Hoo! Sandy, you have been holding out on us haven't you! This is just awesome. Beauty fades, but character does not. I'm wondering how you managed to get such perfect light for this? Great, and congrats!

Happy Birthday, SJ's niece! A pool party is fitting.
The processing is just first class for this scene. It brings the image from a good snapshot into being a good artistic statement.

It's about one shot of Tequila out of level, but the scene and color in this is lovely : ) I think that I would have moved a little closer to the pool to eliminate some of the dark space in the foreground. Maybe the reflection of the moon from the pool didn't allow that. One day later, and the moon would be at a higher angle at the same time of night, allowing you to angle up some. Seems like a tranquil time there.

That is some rough looking surf. My first thought was about an old soft drink ad hook. "Catch the Wave"

You "catched" it. It looks like there is a bird just left of the top of the wave.

Carnivals are a blur, even without a camera. I like that you exposed long enough to make it look like everything is in motion, which is the way it is at a carnival.
