Every once in a while, an image stirs my soul deep.
Wanted to toss  jdannels' Riding High image here on the front page,
as it is one of those absolute perfect moments in life, captured and
frozen forever, and now one of my all-time favorite shots on DPC.
Was screaming for B&W conversion:
Joe - put this one in your portfolio - doesn't belong in mine... |

| This is sweet and the BW convert works well. |

Yep, I love that photo too. It has such a fantastic feeling to it. This is what photographery is all about, for me anyways. Getting those little moments that you know you'll want to look back on and have those same feelings come rushing back, those moments that spark something inside.
Very nice conversion too, Brad. Looks lovely in B&W. :)

I would totally agree with you Brad, Joe has one hell of an eye. He's always bringing pleasant images to challenges and to this site. The b/w does work well but the color holds it own just as well IMHO. He nailed that shot perfectly.

When you have moments in your life where you feel you are about to meet your maker, images like this have a much more powerful and meaningful impact. However, the photographer within you leaps out suggesting small ways to improve it. ;)

Wow Brad, I really can't explain what this little gesture means to me. I literally walked into the door as I was supposed to meet someone for a photo op at a coffee shop for the college paper which I am now the photo editor, but misread the photo request and was 3 and a half hours early, oops :). Came to check in and "update button"(used as a verb ;) and look through threads and saw this one and opened the thread and was shocked and touched. Got abit reflective about what I have learned directly from this site. I didn't really start getting involved until around february of this year even though I registered a couple years earlier. Even 8 months ago I had only thought of photography as a hobby and now trying to expand it into a job or atleast sidework in some form. Brad I am so touched.
Ok sappiness is time is over. :)
I also decided abit spontaneously in the last 20 min or so that without DPC I probably wouldn't be where I am today and that I want to send this forward I have decided to give away a year free membership!! I have been working a ton and have alittle extra cash in the bank. And bradp since you started all this in motion I would like to have you pick who ever you want, however you want, to receive this membership. You can PM if you would like but basically, just pick someone and I'll do a gift certificate or buy it for them, however you do it.
This place has taught me alot. Thanks everyone and Brad, thank you especially.
Edit: I think the spelling changes once you hit post... Oh and all feel free to edit my photos :)
