Great shot... you sure do have a knack for seascapes. Well done!
I got an interesting glow in the lower left hand corner which is off a patch of sky through the clouds. (No HDR)

Roosevelt elk trail...
Hiking up in the Oregon coastal mountains near my place, my six dogs and I encountered a large bull elk when we entered a small clearing. My camera was still in the bag, tripod slung over my back at the time, and I was somewhat concerned about keeping my dogs safe since they were surrounding the big fellow. When he spotted me, he decided to retreat up this trail... it's one of those "Wow! You shoulda seen him!" stories. Next time, camera cocked, safety off!

As always, CnC appreciated!
Great job restraining focus to the entirety of the face but developing a nice bokeh in the foreground and background.
I photographed one of those blooms recently. Do you know what they're called? Here's the shot I took, about a week ago:
I live in Las vegas, and these plants are a big part of landscaping here. We have a few of them in front of my office, maybe tomorrow if i have time i will pop outside and snap a few. Too bad its already 37-38 C here...
Nice... I like the direct gaze and 'lazy' feel... very 'Huckleberry Finn'...
Great fun shot... with the matching expressions... though I'd be tempted to lose the foreground and crop to square...
I waited for a boat to sail by... but there was no-one around...
This was taken through the window of a church I was staying at during a recent service trip to New Orleans. The house in the picture was abandoned and boarded up. CnC welcome and appreciated.
Tropical Nene
This is a picture of my girlfriend at our campsite on Haleakala Volcano in Hawaii. She is the one with the long underwear on her head (to clear up any confusion). The goose is the indigenous tropical Nene, a protected bird found only on the islands. They can be a bit overbearing, as there are no known predators. This is a scanned 35mm print from my pre-digital daze.

Grand Canyon
The result was well worth sitting in the very back of the plane. More to come from my trip to Mexico.

Here's a cute puppy close-up, a little extra p/p
Love the macro work...great effects with the water droplets! I've noticed the lack of water droplets in some of your picture's background / foreground...they should be there if you are going for a "natural" look. The extremely limited DOF with macros ensures that you wouldn't need to spray too much of the surrounding scene...
