Fantastic colors and contrast here...always a treat to see your color work! I keep going back to #4, really a stand out shot for me.
 
cool shots dan...... looks good over there :thumbup:
 
How do you get the colors to be like that?
Is it the camera?

I'd say it's a combination of everything - the light, perhaps the lens/body, and post processing.
While editing the RAW file in Photoshop, I desaturate the image to my taste and fiddle with Brightness/Contrast (B/C). After saving it as a Tiff file, I use the Shadows/Highlights (usually pulls the Shadows slider all the way to the left, and move up the Highlights slider to my taste). Then I use the B/C to fine tune the contrast to my taste. Finally, after saving it to Jpeg, I wrap up with the KPD Magic Sharpen tool from Kubota for the final pop.

Btw, thanks for the comments - Alison, Arch! :)
 
that guy's expression in #7 is great. just curious did you know him, or just snap as he walked by?
 
I don't know him. It was just a quickly timed catch. :)
 
If you can, can you please post the original? Number 7 would be nice.
Thanks.

The original is a RAW file. Here is the Jpeg 9 600x600 72dpi, untouched.
 
Closest I can get :| .

Yours is a little more brighter in areas( Person's face on that white wall ). Can't seem to get that without making everything else brighter.
 
Unless there is an "OTE" (Okay to Edit) along with the post, please ask first before you edit mine or anyone else's image.

Thanks. :)
 
Aw man. I'm sorry, but thanks for the help.

And if you haven't noticed yet, I think your pictures are awesome.
