...and much much more. This is truly breath taking. The depth of the hills with the old houses and wonderful view. The hint of snow adds such texture and contrast. A wonderful capture through and through.

Waiting For My Train

This is just about as cute, funky and odd as you can get. First off - this shot is like one in a million. Never seen a better photo showing the contrast between man and nature. The Owl just looks so out of place, on a railroad track of all places. =) On the photo itself, spot on. DOF is perfect and love how everything around him is oof but it still draws the line of the track out of the picture. The Owl is in good focus and has good color - plus he/she is cute. Great photo and I truly think it's a gem. 9

Canyon de Chelly's Hidden Gem

What an amazing image! It just doesn't stop producing eye candy. Great choice on the vertical capture. I like how you have two things that are huge in this picture. Very very old ruins next to this rock wall that just screams power and almost seems that by this power gave the ruins (during their time) protection. If that makes sence. Thanks for sharing. Was a joy exploring this wonderful photo. 10

Haha! Great title for this image. The poor thing probably just wish it had a fly trap. =) Unique and interesting photo. Nice job on catching the flying ones on the side. Like the center focus here and your lighting is good.

A unique angle here. Works well and love how you chose the water to be in the top left. Color is good and not over saturated.

Beautiful portriat! Taking this with an enviroment BG was perfect. His personality shows through. Your lighting, color, focus and composition is spot on. Not sure why, but love how he has a smoke in his hand. Just adds to his personality. Well done.
