i really need a macro lens..haa.
I kinda keep coming back to this one and thought I might add a comment.
The rule of thirds is sometimes not just about composition of the placement of objects within the frame but for a shot like this focus. I'm not really a huge fan of shots like this, however I think this one would have much more appeal if the plane of focus were down around either the N or M key, maybe in between so both were clear/sharp. I think the f/stop on this is good, It would be a bit distracting to have a super sharp line and very blurry numbers, so your DOF is good in my opinion. The plane of focus as it is just cuts the photo in half, I think it would be better to have it "closer to the viewer" or in this shot toward the bottom of the frame.
Maybe try it out and let me know if I'm on or off base?
Gee, first you were good and now you are great. What's next, a Greek Goddess?
Intriguing photo here. I read two images. One exposed at 12:31 pm and another at 1:12 am New Years Eve. This is from a program called EXIF Viewer. Does your 7D allow multiple exposures?
You really like your 100mm macro, don't you. Got to have one of those.

definitely!! thanks for input on the picture, i took another one similar in a way of what your talking about. but i'll post it up in a few minutes.
i appreciate the comments, so it can make me a better photographer in the long run seeing others perspectives.
What was in the background that allowed for such a dark backdrop? Just curious
Very nice. Berwick-on-Tweed? Such clarity of light... and snow that looks like snow (rather than being given some 'orrible pastel tint in PP
)...Intriguing & mysterious...
Kinda sad. Someone's nailed wooden batterns to the wall, to make them look like shutters...
I've been staying at this wonderful little circular building, called Beamsley Hospital: actually almshouses for poor widows, built in the 16th century. To get to each tiny room, they had to go through the central chapel. It was fun to try and get some pictures of the building at night, with the snow on the ground and the light coming through the windows. A magical place...

Snapped this in late December and finally edited it a bit. Removed a small tree behind the left most tine and basic pp.
shot with a 55-300 on my Pentax K100D
The details are on my other computer so I forget those
Enjoy!
Just had this blown up to a 12x18 for my office wall.
Snapped near Iron Bridge, ON.

From our trip to NYC over Christmas:
Did you apply a texture to this image during post processing or use some type of filter on your lens?
I think there may have been a circular polarizer on the lens, but that's it. Otherwise it's just PP in Lightroom.
Thanks.
Well, thanks, Dale. Yes, I've photographed plenty of Greek goddesses.
No, that's a single, 30-second exposure, not two combined or anything tricky like that. There were a lot of people walking around wearing these blinky headgear things, and I just waited for one of them to cross the bridge. Perhaps the other date is when I did the raw conversion?
Yeah, that 100mm is a lot of fun. I've been using it a lot lately, and come springtime, I'll be using it even more. No flower will be safe.

Thanks very much for your comment Doylem, it means a lot. You are a master of Landscapes and light. The sky was so blue that day it made for some great shots.
The Bridge is at Norham, a few miles from Berwick - same river though - The Tweed.
Also thanks to trsnrtr. All comments appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes. That's it. RAW conversion and processing is like a second exposure to the same file. This is indeed an interesting photo. The file info had me scratching my head.
