Surreal, the perspective aesthetic of the foreground rocks creates so much impact. Great job P
Seems like it was worth getting those flat tyres for
Thanks, guys! Reef, that wasn't the trip where we got the two flats. I have a running joke going with my friend (who was with me at the time that I shot "Moondial") that the flat tire incident was a later payback for having gotten too much good luck on the trip before it. For anyone who hasn't seen the comedy video that we produced while stranded in the desert with two flat tires, here's the link: CLICK.
I love that silvery tone you get on their skins here. Wonderful lighting/processing.

I got a good chuckle out of that one! Thanks for that.
And who gets TWO flat tires? Talk about bad luck.

Very good. I prefer the white background to the black you sometimes use. How do you decide which set up to use?

Another winner.
Short Eared Owl
This guy was perched much higher than I would like (they rarely perch at low levels) but he was kind enough to make eye contact and I think that saved the shot.

I go sailing regularly with a British skipper who uses that saying often.
Charming photo, Doylem!
Nothing too complicated, just depends on the 'look' I'm going for really.
Trying to get away from those themes for the moment and use more ambient texture. This one is just a recent edit of a photo from the archives.
Thanks, Kenoh and AFB. The male Anna's hummingbirds are probably the most colorful of the hummingbirds I am seeing right now. I haven't seen many yet this year -- this one showed up while I was getting my gear out yesterday, so I hadn't set up my background light yet.
Hanoi Apple Service... (not a particularly good photo, but relevant to these forums)...

Let's do one last perspective of that tower in Laguna.
