I love using Topaz before applying Silver Efex. Going over the top with Topaz normally looks rather bad (IMO) but running it through Silver Efex gives you gorgeous tonality with all those zany colors. Exact thing I did for this one
Very nice use of contrast here.

No worries :) That's the beauty of SC's... low pressure.
It's cool how your presence within the shot is rather minimal, and isn't initially the focus, especially with the bright red berries commanding my attention. But once I saw you within the ornament, things nearly switched places as far as demanding my attention.

I agree with The_Tourist. The near silhouette effect on the foreground grass is nice. I like how we can see a bits of the fuzzy tops though.

Hey! You're my 1,000 comment. Awesome.

Is the vignette due to the limited power of the flash or is it from PP? I quite like the effect, in any case. The falling snowflakes caught in the flash are good too.

Very cool. I like the crop of this one. The shadows are what I like most, the negative form that they create.

This is a great shot. I really like how the blue arm sticks into the frame from the corner, and how vast the concrete looks. The texture on the concrete is really cool too. The cable in the foreground is a bummer, but I still really like this.

I loved seeing foxgloves for the first time in New Zealand, and they were just as magnificently tall as these. Living in an arid high plains climate gives me an acute appreciation for such lush growth, which is unheard of here.

As a bit of a beer connossieur, it's interesting to see this one. I don't think I've ever seen Tarwebok for sale over here in the states. I've had the Heineken Dark, but that's even not all that available here. Nice shot to compliment the dark color. I just had one of these the other day, very good American effort at a Belgian style.

Did you use a ringlight to light this?

Pit Stop

Oh man, I bet one of these events is AWESOME to participate in from a photography perspective. I really really wish I was more grown up and knew what I do now back when I used to attend some vintage car races up in Steamboat, CO. Each year my dad and I would get pit passes and hang out for the whole weekend immersed in awesome classic cars battling it out on a street course. As a part of the team, I can only imagine how much more access you would have had.

Very nicely framed reflection. The warm light contrasts great with the blue sky and building. One thing I see, though, is that there appears to be a bunch of chromatic aberration on those pillars. But hey, it's a P&S, right? ;)
