Stryker, 1st impression is that I love it. It really grabed my attention. Colors, exposure, and composition all work perfectly together. Just a great picture.

Thanks for the kind words, sir Joel_W. I appreciate it so much.

These were taken at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. How did I do on these?

yundt, Pictures 1 & 4 have issues with way too busy backgrounds. A much shallower DOF would have greatly helped. Selective cropping will certain improve both of them, both compositionally, and with the background issues. I like pic 2 the best, Although it's some what under exposed.

I also like #2 best. When I was carrying around more kit with me, several lenses in a camera bag, or backpack, I'd have a 4x6 piece of cardboard covered with aluminum foil that I'd whip out to reflect light back onto a subject like this when nature wasn't cooperating.

Here's an oddball one, of what's above our kitchen sink, very very early one morning last week.

Say, is anyone besides me having trouble with TPF recognizing you? Every day lately when I click on an email link to come to one of my subscribed threads, I need to log in. TPF previously would recognize me. I'm not having a problem with any other of the forums to which I belong. This started happening this weekend.

And here's one from the archives I don't think I've posted.
