Great start to this month! Great pics from especially The Reef and Cymrulp.

Great shot... with 'elemental' forces at work: clouds soft, rocks hard, water a sinuous blur...

Another gloomy morning, another Pennine farm...

Lily with Ladybug

I think this is a small ladybug on the lily- though the head isn't black and its tiny, so it may be something else entirely- crop included in case anyone can ID it for me...

Nice capture! What shutter speed?

One of the 340 photos I took today on my short trip through Hico, Dublin, and Stephenville, TX. This one from Hico. Was trying out my new Canon XS, still learning how to use it.

You found an interesting subject to photograph, but it wasn't the right time of day. The sun is very high and strong, so the largest face of the rock is not getting any light, and there is too much contrast from that harsh light. If you are able to return to this site, try going an hour or two before sunset or else shortly after sunrise, whenever that face of the rock is lit with warm light from a low sun. Also, maybe you can try a different angle to get more of those distant hills in the composition. They're just barely visible at the left. Being able to see more of them would give the photo more depth.

thanks - I appreciate the advice.
