Sorry for so many photos.

Thanks in advance.

These are awesome shots. I especially like 1 and I think 4 is really cool looking. But 5 isn't doing much for me.

Good shots man!

I like the photos as well.
Photos #1 & #3, the utility towers are grossly tilting inward. Have you tried correcting this?

 

[Bad Andy]

PBELarge, the towers are tilted that way naturally. They are that way so the lines can come up from the generating houses without touching the sides of the canyon.

Good shots. I really like the staircase - #4. Lots of great lines really draw the viewer into the pic...

I had a funny feeling you were going to say that. :mrgreen:


I purchased a Canon 10-22mm. I really like it alot.
I use LR3 for lens correction

I like this as well, eliminate the sign and first few stair, and it would be hard to tell if it was looking up or down.

#1 and #4 are my favs -- especially #4. Based on the first shot, I'm wondering how sharp the lens is at the corners?

I REALLY like these. Tough choice between 1 2 or 3 . All of them are very good.
