So you won't like this shot...
It used to be a lighthouse standing proud and tall...
That, my friend, creates a scary thought.
Gotcha, just up the road from where I live and around the corner from where I work! Either way, I loved the picture. Hoping to buy an XSI when they come out so I can join in with some great pics like all you guys have here.

shooting into the sun is tough. It makes the subject have deep shadows or it can blow out the lighting in the background. You wouldn't normally think to use it, but a fill flash is what many photographers would use to help this shot.

Good composure. The B & W looks amazing.
Fett, I loved your pic too. The colors on the grain Silo seemed a little too 'unnatural' to me... Maybe it's just the HDR-ing?
Anyways, here's one of my older pics. Rather sad when I think about it - I was on a walk when I came across this little guy who was making 'mewing' sounds. By the looks of it he'd been attacked by a Coyote

Very nice!

Interesting photo but sad story behind it.
Rusty grain silo: I know exactly what you mean, something about the colors just seems off. It was the first thing my wife said when she looked at it too. Now here is the funny thing the colors are only a little darker than the original photo. On this one I did the hdr but then blended an original exposure of the grain silo and another of the sky onto the hdr in photoshop to fix a couple of things I didn't like in the hdr. So the colors are still pretty close to the what I captured.
Not a planned photo op, but rather an unplanned snapshot that came out kinda neat; taken while I was at a friends house:

A local fisherman, Carlos, volunteered to taste test some mighty fine tequila (El Conquistador reposado) after pulling his fishing boat (panga) ashore on the beach at Punta Lobos. This is a few miles south of Todos Santos, Baja California Sur on the Pacific side.

I really like this picture. Just the simplicity makes it even more beautiful. Great work!

Yeah, it was from a helicopter flight. The whole set can be seen here:

This works for me 'cos it's simple and well lit. The warm(ish) light of late afternoon (?) picks out the bench... so the eye goes straigt to it. There's definitely a feeling that someone is missing (in UK these benches are dotted all over - usually good viewpoints, and usually with a little plaque on the backrest to commemorate someone).
Once again I'm amazed by your photos Valdore, the composition is wonderful, i like how the snow on the stairs seems to glow.
Yes, that's a public footpath (Yorkshire Dales)
Firestorm? Nah... just a regular English summer...
