Before the storm

I'm really drawn to the light in the tree tops along the horizon, and the stormy rich colors in this image.

River Sunset

Sunset is my fav time of day, and the sky in Florida really lights up for them in the fall and early winter.
The birds in the foreground are a big plus to me, and the centered composition is nice and seems balanced. It's neat that the birds form a wedge to the right, and the clouds behind them form a wedge to the left with the sun rays making a wedge downward. It's an inverted triangle composition.

This is a very interesting place. I like the light on this image, as the details show up so well. An antique car would do a lot for a photo of this place. I went by a place similar to this in New Mexico last Oct. Thanks for posting the pics of Gary's shop. I will post an image of the one in NM soon.

Goat on 427 corvette Stingray

There's no place like home. That has to be tough on the fiberglass. It's a good thing it isn't a rag top. I hope that isn't your car, or even worse your goat and someone else's car.

Including some of the background helps to set the scene. Good snapshot.

Definitely an image to be proud of ! The dark water with white feathers and droplets plus the action make this image just vibrate with life. Perfect focus on the bird's head makes it even better. Good title too.

This is a good composition for an image of the Grand Canyon. The guys in the foreground establish the scale of the hole in the ground much better than a tree or rock. I was impressed with the Rio Grande Gorge in New Mexico and I can see why this is called the "Grand" Canyon.
Good title too.

Good image for slow shutter speed :)
Depth of field, and camera position were perfect to get this just right. It's a critter classic!

This is a beautiful image! The way you painted the crosses makes a huge difference in the way the image stands out. The only thing that I see that could be better, and I can understand why you didn't, is to also paint the cross on the steeple with a stationary light. Maybe with photoshop someday you can do that. The orange interior lighting also brings a lot to the image in color contrast. Good choices for lighting, and a great subject for what you created from it. This would make a good poster.

This is one of the best images that I have ever seen of an owl at rest. I see that you uploaded it in Aug, but it looks like a winter feather coat, and puffed up like it's cold out. I have a few owl images, but they are on slide film from long ago. This image would have cleaned house in the "brown" challenge. Too bad the image was not made at the time of the challenge. I see no way to improve on your image.

Snow on California's Central Coast

The store and the location work togather in this image. It's good that you didn't crop out the background when you were shooting it, as it adds a lot of information to the image about the subject. It's also nice that they didn't burn it to make more room in the field behind it. The boarded up windows detract a little from the image which is not something you could do anything about. The title seems a bit long, but it describes the location as coastal so it helps place the scene. You have many excellent images in your portfolio. It was not easy to choose which to comment on.
