I just took some photos from that exact same spot the other day. But they certainly didn't look like that (partly because they were taken with my iPhone camera and partly because I'm not a photographer)

I just got my Canon EOS XTi with the kit lens yesterday, so this pic is not so good (I still have to get the hang of it

Geese on canal, Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, UK
Geese are so awesome. Just awesome. I love geese, and all other birds too.

I'm curious why you didn't go the HDR route with this one. Did you simply like this one as it was, or was it for some reason just not a good candidate? I only ask because I've really liked your past HDR stuff, and it's kind of inspired me to explore doing HDR myself.
TIA,

very nice! Great focus/framing!
Some interesting pix...
The cat shot at the top, fine. But it suddenly occurred to me why I preferred the earlier cat pic (post 30): it was taken from a cat's eye view, not looking down. So it looked like a 'portrait' of a particular cat, not just a picture of 'a' cat. if that makes sense...
The snowy park in Sweden didn't attract me at first. I kinda wanted a figure to focus on. But it's the sort of pic that grows on you, and, after a few visits, it looks fine as it is. There's a kind of optical illusion: even in a still shot, it actually looks likes the snow is falling. Or is this just me?
I like the two pix of the same white, Greek (?) church. There are some subtle colours in the second shot... but I wanted to see a bit more drama in the lighting.
BOOSTD: like the composition, but not sure why you cut the guy's feet off...
Strawberry: too much sugar, photographically and nutritionally.
About HDR... It's not a 'one size fits all' solution. Valdore seems to have the nailed the technique, and knows the kind of pic that responds well to the treatment. For me, 95% of HDR pix are too 'extreme': too much HDR, not enough 'seeing'...

On second thoughts, that white cat has a lot of personality too. He's looking at me like I owe him money.
toothpaste: YES! This picture is posted on my website under the "photo blog 2" page. I added a high res link in it for you.

Doylem: Ya, I dont like that I cut off his feet too, but right now I only have an EF 85mm normal lens so zooming out wasnt an option. As it was, I was standing nearly 30 feet from him with a crowd of people walking around me and people JUST outside of the frame in the pic. No worries though, I'll be getting a zoom lens soon . the 70 - 200 f/4 L should do nicely...
As always, comments and criticisms always welcome (begging photographer. need lots of input to improve)
