The detail gets lost in the darkness, I'm afraid.

This has a nice feel to it, the DOF is quite amazing in this image. I'll have to look into Light Room 2.0, I really like the end results.

This is beautiful. I've tried shots like this on various occasions mainly because I like night light reflections in water. Photomatix seems to have worked very well for this scene. I think perhaps the subtle atmospheric light and/or the probable longer exposure might have been the reason. I've had questionable results with Photomatix when shooting bracketed sunset shots. However, I think your image is exceptional in DOF and color. Very nicely done. I would be interested to know what time it was taken (ie: twilight) and what your exposure time was.

Congrats on your high finish, Scott. The moon captures are really working well for you. I'll be interested to see what you come up with next! ;-)

Nice dynamic cloud effect in this capture. The horizon appears to have lost all DOF giving it an almost surreal look. The contrasting textures in the clouds and terrain add to that effect and the B/W works very well.

Lower Falls, Big Canoe, after a lot of rain

I love waterfalls and this one is quite remarkable. The low POV with the circular polarizer works really well here, gives it a sense of magnitude and maintains a tonal consistency. I think the subject lends itself very nicely to the overall workability of this capture. Very well done IMO.
