Sharp even after a few beers

Taken at 1/2 second with a P&S that has image stabilisation (Canon 850IS). I like the shallow DoF.

living in a fisheye world -- bank

Meet piggy, who sacrificed all, so that I could buy the fisheye lens used to take his picture.

That's more like it - a great shot! Nice use of fill flash.

However, the EXIF says you used manual exposure and auto bracketing. I thought the D40 didn't have bracketing?

Thanks.:)
I've had this happen twice now. Both times in Manual, the first was this one

Not sure why or how yet though.

Beautiful color and nice composition!

Thank You very Much:)
I have to echo what's been said above, these colours really stand out well.

Thank You I just got lucky thats all.:)

Another great shot yakamoto, seems like you have a really good sense of exposure and feel for that camera.

As long as we're doing birds..

my alma mater dedicated the new library today (which is a million times better than our old one, it was loud, old, dirty, and not a library). here's a pic from that. too bad i don't get to study in there...i just graduated too.:mad: bunch of liars...they said it was supposed to be done before i graduated....(i graduated a semester early, most of my mates get to study their last in here).

This is a superb wildlife capture. Personally I would lose the border. This image would look even more stunning on plain black mount..... Personal prefs :)

I'm enjoying this one. If I may suggest, my thought is to emphasis the chair more, by cropping it more tightly or bringing out the hilights on the chair more, so it doesn't disappear into the wall and get lost. But I am not viewing it on a calibrated display, so maybe it is just my monitor.

Thanks. On my monitor (calibrated with a Spyder 2 unit) it looks ok, meaning I can see all of the chair. I think I wanted to keep the sense of inner darkness opposing the outer gloom.

Taken with a P&S Nikon.
I took this picture for my first Digital Imaging assignment.
I changed the levels and did some dodging and burning.
Any critique would be appreciated.

Very nice picture.
now here is my critique's
First eithier shoot one whole flower, or two and get the whole thing in frame.
Second go easy on the luminosity, I'm on a callibrated PC :( and I know the screens on macs are a lot brighter. To me this shot is blinding.
Couple ways of doing this is Curves (Likely the best) or Use a soft brush, set to black or another dark color and use vivid light and brush over the light areas. If the shot was underexposed to begin with you could have duplicated the layer set blending to screen, and lowered the opacity until the shadows came out, without going to far. I can barely see the raindrops on the petals.

Whispy Water

Ok, now it's my turn for some C&C :)
I've always liked the shots of waterfalls and streams with the silky smooth water flow. So this is my first atempt at such. Exif will tell the rest.
