WOW, Excellent color, DOF, and saturation in this photo, I especially love the simple black background, as it seems to bring out the colors of the flowers all that much more!

WOW! Excellent color saturation, as a fellow resident of a frozen area, I love this photo, reminds me that spring is indeed on its way, somewhere, under all this damn snow!!!!! A little deeper DOF might have helped it a little, but still a great pic that somehow seems to benefit from the soft focus!

Greetings,
Very Nice capture! I would love to see the EXIF data on this shot, the only slightly distracting thing is the logo in the bottom right front of the photo, just wondering why when DPC uploads are usually 640x480 and therefore almost useless commercially, its there?

Greetings,
Wow, neat setting in this photo, I like the concept behind this shot a lot, just a few things that have me curious...would it be possible to remove some of the growth from the trucks hood area, it tends to make the truck hide a bit, or perhaps use PS to desaturate the whole pic except the truck, or perhpas all but the truck and the sky that might make it pop out a bit more. Other than that the only thing I see that is a minor distraction is the hunk of scrap metal in the front right of the pic, but I'm sure that could be cloned out in PS quickly and easily! A great shot, and a wonderfull find of an old vehicle!

You know, here in the US a lot of rural roads are littered with people tossing out their empties while driving late at night, but rarely do you find more than a 12 rack, this is ridiculous!!!! :)

Wow, what a very cool photo!, I love the contrast between the buildings exterior and the sky! A great find, makes me wonder what the story behind the little gas station is. My only, and this is very minor, complaint would be the lack of detail in the grasses immediatly in front of the station, they seem a little blurry, but again this is a very minor bitch, its a wonderfull shot!

HAWAII - 304.jpg

Greetings,
A great shot, definitly show the rural side of Hawaii that you dont often see in the touristy info/handouts. Did you use a polarizer on this shot? If not it may be of use if you ever try a shot like this again, it will help bring out the blue in the sky and really make it "pop". I also love the vibrant greens and the warmth of the dirt color in the field.

Wow! Very cool lighting effects here, I love the green! Two things I'm not sure about are the faces and the arm that are showing through, if so, why the arm??? I could see the faces being in it, although it would be nice for them to be just a litle lower in the pic, but the arm? The other slightly distracting element to me at least is the slanted horizon in the back it detracts from what would otherwise be an AWESOME shot! The border also works well with these colors.

Wow, a very unique perspective here with lots of detail and great DOF, well done! BTW, this is probably my fave out of your windmill group.
