This is the same temple I posted yesterday, but shot on a different day, at a different time of day, and from a different direction. I visited it three times to get shots with different lighting. I'll post the third one tomorrow.
I'll take your columns and raise your the original columns to the US Capital building. For some reason they put them in the National Arboretum, but oh wells... Put through Color Efex Pro 3 - Infrared Film - red/blue tint
World Police & Fire Games here in Whistler Canada. Events included mountain bike race and orienteering to name a few.

I like everything about this portrait, save for the distracting (in my humble opinion) bokeh. She seems like a very easy to photograph model.
The composition is off putting, he is looking off the frame. But this is where composition doesn't matter because yummy > composition.
Canon 5D
Focal Length: 24mm
Exposure: 1/125 f11 ISO 200
Lens: 24-105 f4L
Dude I love all your pictures. The pictures capture the mood of the areas so well. I always get this feeling when looking at the images, like I can feel what its like to be there just by looking at the image. Great stuff.
Click for large on flickr...
Great image. Post production tweaks?
Woops on the double posts.
Thank you! She certainly was very easy to photography. I was under the impression that bokeh in portraits was a good thing, but I could be wrong.
It's a new day, so here's another of the same girl!

Just got my 450D a couple of days ago! Here's my entry for today:
Ams.
Looks like you're off to a great start!
Thanks for your kind feedback. We really appreciate the area in which we live.
Thank you! I'm not too happy with the composition (the glass at the bottom left), but this hotel was right on the water and i couldnt really get a better shot. Unless i planned on setting up my tripod in the water. lol.
That one was a bracketed shot (+/-2 if i recall correctly) run through Photomatix, and then the resulting image was placed in photoshop for further post processing, and some help from Topaz Adjust to help bring out all the colors.

bokeh, as far as I know (and am concerned) refers to pleasing blur of the background. The round highlights in the blur in the background distract me personally.
Are you using the Canon 50 f/1.8? My copy seems to produce the same type of blur.
A third visit
As promised, a third shot of the Tavole Palatine, this one taken in the morning and from the southeast:

I like this no. 2 very much and more than 1 because of composition & light. Tried this one in B&W? It will make the blue, well eh, not so blue.

Thanks, appie57. That's my favorite too, but not so much because of the composition or lighting. I liked how the leaves blowing in the wind (dynamic, ephemeral) made a counterpoint to the steadfastness of the columns (static, everlasting). Also, the wind was really howling through the trees that evening, making for an incredible auditory experience to go with the scene, something I won't soon forget. And yes, most temple shots do look great in B&W. I haven't tried it with this one yet, since I need this shot in color for its intended purpose, but I'll try out a conversion eventually.
New one for today, did the Glamour Glow in Color Efex Pro cleaned up the part of the table you could see. C&C welcome
