Moderately cropped and bumped up a couple of stops in PP.
The once Majestic Hotel by ALXPhotog, on Flickr
This was an iconic southern hotel in Hot Springs, AR. It burned recently (under much suspicion of foul play). It's a sad loss for the city.

A shot from the weekend, that I spent it Paris
Bought this from a street seller at the Trocadero. Lens was 50mm f1.8 (which despite having the restrictions you'd expect from a prime lens, it is by far my favourite bit of kit!)

Also, on a side note. I have noticed some of you have followed me on Flickr. Due to the nature of my travels I use Instagram more now. So *IF* you do wish to see other pics etc, please check me out on there as opposed to Flickr. ID is @drewunalkat

One of my favourite shots from visiting La Mauricie National Park in Québec. Unfortunately I only had about 5 hours to spend there, and the light was not the best, but it's a beautiful location nonetheless.

Another Magnolia from the weekend. It's in full bloom now, so should get some more Saturday, weather permitting.

Beautiful and creative photo!
Snowy Owl
Very fortunate to get another Snowy Owl yesterday.
In spite of my aversion to winter, this is my current desktop picture. You should do a calendar of these fabulous bird photos. This is the best I've seen.

Very nice...could easily be a postcard. I like that you included enough of the base of the tower to make it readily recognizable without needing to pull back and include the entire height.
There is some great color and texture going in there. I wonder whether you might bring out some more of the weathered patina with some fill light on the near side or at a different time of day (given the harsh sun/shadow contrast, it looks like this was maybe mid-day?). The out-of-focus outer cogs are a little distracting to my eye, given how much of the image they take up and their rich color, but I like how the inner cogs are framed by the cutout in the wheel.
Almost like giant jellyfish descending onto the plaza...very eerie!
Another one from last weekend. Looks like this weekend might be another wash out! I guess springtime is over
Comments always welcome.

Thanks for that. It was a bit of an experiment with in and out of focus bits, different folks see it in different ways. It's something I will continue to experiment with. You are correct, it was mid-day, very bright and harsh light.
Unfortunately, it is not just down the road for me to re-visit. I may, or may not ever get back there and it already had the shadows opened quite considerably in PP.
This is it in context of its position.
Winch 03 by playswithlight, on Flickr
What an interesting find! I like the contrast between the in-focus inner cogs and out-of-focus outer cogs (in the detail shot), and I definitely appreciate how it can be seen different ways.
Nice colors in the context shot, too.
