Lovely shot. It's the reflection that really makes it. Every time I get near water it is always too windy to get those kind of reflections.
Wow! I've missed you!
Nice! Nailed it mate. I love it!
My effort for today.....just stuff I had on me

Thanks. I was surprised myself. Can't wait to go spider hunting in the spring now.
How jealous am I ??!?!?! I was there in September just when the Tioga Pass entrance opened after the fire . No shots like that when I was there , the haze was over everything .
^^^Awesome. Love the reflection^^^
Thanks Robert and this is an outstanding shot of yours. I love his expression. I think it's the eyes...they're not threatening but they seem to be sizing you up.
Thanks Apple fanboy. There wasn't even a small whiff of a breeze that day.
Of course the haze is gone but the scars are clearly evident. I think you'll need to return someoldguy...I'm planning on it. I'm hoping to return when the water is flowing (maybe in the spring next year).
Providence Power Station
Haven't posted this particular version of this shot in the POTD thread before. Showed various versions in an individual thread but meant to leave it at that. Decided to post here after I watched The Daily Show on Monday night (1/13/14).
The lead story was the chemical leak into a river near the water supply in W. Virginia. When Jason Jones came on as the "local" reporter the backdrop image was of the Providence Power Plant! Many locations in the country (and the world) that serve as stock backgrounds, but I was completely surprised to see this spot come up. I assume they drew it from a stock photo service, but was still kind of interesting to see this subject used in the mainstream media since I'd just revisited it. Don't usually think of Providence as providing common or mainstream backgrounds for anything.

To all
You guys are all an inspiration. I've been following POTD threads for a long time now but I never have the guts to post anything. But who knows. Maybe 2014 is going to be different. Amazing job, everyone!. -- L

Hey we're all of different abilities. You don't have to be an amazing photographer to post something in this thread. I wouldn't be posting if that were true
Post whatever you want to share....we're all friends here right?

The biggest thing that helped me improve was to post and post and post. I still look at a lot of the photos posted here and wonder how they were created!
Also dont be afraid to ask for feedback. Sometimes people dont offer any as the OP can sometimes take offence. If you are happy for feedback to be given then let everyone know and Im sure people will offer to help you out.
My photos are mostly for fun but I am always up for improving on them.
As always, comments appreciated.

Like the others said, get posting. Life's too short to wait until you are good enough. I've only been doing photography a short while but find sharing my work a good way to improve. This particular forum is good because of the high standard of pictures and willingness to help. Also it's not one of those forums where people critique your work, but never post there own. I like that. So come on let's see your stuff!
It sounds as though you'd like to post something really. Go on, give it a whirlwe've all got to start somewhere!
