Hehe. I was seeing the watermarked signature as part of the photo. It looked like rain being whipped into streams by the wind or something, in which case you had captured something utterly rare and surreal (hence my great appreciation!). Looking closer, I now see it as a signature.
I'll admit my admiration has been diminished, but I still think it's a nice cityscape!

Just went to the LA Zoo yesterday. I am so tempted to get an annual pass, then go, hang out, draw/photograph the animals on my day off, it's just so close to my house.

Wow! Thats the best picture I've seen in a long time.
I'd have to say the sky. It was so amazing that last night that I had to go out and shoot it. The tangle of phone wires was just kind of an afterthought.
Question, is you not knowing what to say a good thing or a bad thing? haha.
The picture's fine: well seen, well exposed, well composed, etc. But what I see is a lion, lying on a concrete floor, leaning against a concrete wall, as bored as a living creature could possibly be, looking at the photographer with sad, empty eyes. What the hell are we doing, keeping animals in captivity like this? Sorry, but this is what the picture 'says' to me.
I was thinking about getting myself a DSLR and took the plunge when the XSi went on sale here in Canada.
This is my first picture, first attempt at photography, first pretty much everything. I don't know how to fiddle with settings and I have a lot to learn so please bear with me.
I went on a walk after it rained and captured this:

CC always appreciated. Also if you have any tips or places where I could learn about taking photos as I know nothing but "Auto"

Nothing to special here, just wanted to contribute. Picked up a 70-300mm the other day and wanted to test it out, love the lens.

Thankfully (unlike when I started with film) you're not paying $$ on a shot-by-shot basis... so shoot, shoot, shoot. You can learn a lot from 'trial and error', a friend who knows a bit about photography and a couple of books from the library. Enjoy!
Love the light... and the simplicity... and the 'glow' on the post to the left...
I like that depth of focus... players are crisp and stand out. Generally I like horizons to be level although it works for me in your image... is that a rainbow or lens flare of some kind? I like the effect anyhow.Taking pictures of the Freshman football team for our schools yearbook.

I think if you pushed your exposure up at least a good 1/2 stop and straightened the horizon it'd be a great picture. I am unsure what the crooked horizon does for the photo but it is a wonderful photo with the rainbow behind and all. What lens were you using? It looks tack sharp.

Wonderful shot. My mind jumps to the work of western painter of he last century like, Frederick Remington.
Nice sky, and crop.
