Terrance,
The improper contrast is because the original I used to file this image is not from my original 35mm negative frame, but my 16x20" print. It wouldn't fit on my flatbed scanner, so I photographed it outside in the sun with an inexpesive Kodak DC215 Zoom digital camera. My negative is sharp and so is the large print.

Brian,
I would tend to agree with you. But it was that darn photojournalism deadline thing pulling at me, rushing me too much, to

Good illustration of your two images. To an experienced photographer, the circular reflections in the water sure seem to say--"mirror lens."

Jun Ma, I?m as sure that I am/was not releasing secrets, as I am sure that ?Ma? in your name probably means ?horse? in Chinese.
But the same day the Gulf War air campaign started, I was sitting inside a plane in Moron, Spain watching out the window as bombs were being offloaded from U.S.
B-52s. The bombers had just flown into Spain after bombing Baghdad, and offloading the bombs they had not dropped.
They were initially trying to protect the information that Spain was helping, so no photos were allowed of the scene. But I covertly snapped a couple out a window of bombs being removed. I didn?t allow them to be used, but I did snap them for history. And after a while, Spain?s involvement was public knowledge, and the photos could now be used.

Thanks Dawna, John and any future others. I do consider myself lucky.

This photograph is striking. It is good in color or black and white, but since you shot it in color, the color shot is more genuine. Also I've seen this kind of shot in black and white, but think it is more unique in color.

This is a very creative illustration. I saw it before, and still wish we could identify the original creator so he/she could get proper credit.

Good photo; you almost make it seem to be moving. So this is the Grand Funk Railroad--er, I mean Grand Trunk Raiload. You may have to ask your parents about the old musical group that was known as the Grand Funk Railroad.

So good it hurts. Looks like a book cover with a good place in sky for title.

Stark & shaply. And to me so important that there is different depth of blue in the trio of square windows. I am curious about what a slight, under esposed, minimal flash exposure might have created to exact same image.

Beverly,
I absolutely love it. Without the cloud it is less. The opposite diagonals of water and sand add so muc.
And about the tilt -- Once when photographing a beach, I tried all day to tilt the horizon. I tried and tried and tried; no luck.
Then I went back and tilted my camera. (ha, ha).

Daniel,
I love bicycling. I love the diagonal the line of their helmets form in the green foilage. Good photo.
It makes me want to get on my Benotto and pedal up the canyon. By the way at your request, I added
one more Bonneville Salt Flat photo.

For Deb,
Actually I didn't get dusted hardly at all. The stuff really was herbacide but the pilot was so good
he shut the flow down just before reaching the fence line, dusting the very end of the crops but not
much else. I did smell the stuff, so maybe I got a little.

Love the shapes, and the color and effect the rose adds.
