Hey bro, nice shots, but I've told you that before. I like the first one the best. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, you must of clicked on this when I was editing the tags. I realized they were broken when I reviewed it myself. Sorry, photobucket is good, I just didn't know which tag to use.

Thanks everyone, it took about 300 shots to get these, lol. That's ok though, practice makes perfect.

i so want to get to iraq to shoot!
numero 1... great sky.. you would have benifitted by choosing a more interesting foreground and underexposing by one more stop, that orange is pretty fab... wish it were closer though
number 2... cool capture, neat comp... needs a bit of contrast boost
number 3... nice shot! try more.. with more faces
neat shots.. keep it going.. love to see more

Thank you. I don't really like to play with PS too much since I don't know much about it other than how to crop. I will have to give it a try though, thank you. Iraq is an ok place however, I wouldn't suggest wearing western clothing here as they may think you are from the USA and try to abduct you. I would also suggest to stay away from the major cities, ie: Baghdad, Falluja, Ramadi, Mosul, unless you are passing through on a day trip. I have seen some awesome mosque shots from Baghdad though.
