I'm quite surprised that there haven't been more comments on this photo.
Other than perhaps getting either more (or less?) of the left arm, I think it's a wonderful, graceful composition! A pleasure to look at. Nice job, David.

hi MS
Kim might be right about using yellow instead of white, but at the same time, the white becomes a kind of "subject" as it were. The mind tries to make something of it. I for example have turned it into a silver-wrapped Hershey's chocolate kiss!

Wow, it is a brilliant capture that you've achieved here. Good work, Neil.
My deepest sympathies to you and your countrymen. It all seems so senseless to attack innocent, defenseless people with such randomly-targeted violence.

Wow, Jim How fantastic!
Is this B&W in camera or post-processing? Just curious. It looks marvelous!
I second Petal's suggestion about a change in crop. However, I have no suggestions of my own.
Anyway, great job.

David, you did really well with this. I'm not sure if the wings need to be more frozen or not. I can see the benefit if they were, but I like the sense of motion with this as is.
Also of note is the remarkable bokeh for that f-stop. Beautifully wrought! Keep it up.

OOOoooo the techniques in that forum submission is going to save a whole group of so-so Utah pictures. I'm very glad you referenced it and showed what your results concluded.
Thanks very much MS!

I mostly use the regular utility to adjust the white balance (if need be) and to convert to TIFF where I work on it in photoshop 7 later.
However, I recently was asked to shoot a bridal shower for a coworker and since there were so many 'snapshots', I used the Digital Photo Pro from Canon to batch process. I hear there's better stuff out there, but even if I could afford it, I still think that the RAW converted is so much better than the JPGs come out.
But on top of all that, I just heard about shooting sRGB versus Adobe RGB and I'm thinking of switching and see if that helps the jpgs any.

Start shooting RAW, guy! Seriously! Your shots are so good now, you'll be amazed at what RAW comes up with. I've even stopped shooting RAW+smJPG and haven't missed it in the least.
I sure do hope David and I get to go on this extensive ride this August. If we do, Split Rock was a must!

Fantastic!
One of the most photographed lighthouses in the US (apart from probably Heceta Head and Portland Head), but you've managed to make it fresh and new. Nice job.
Are you shooting RAW, JPG or both?

Gene, I like the point you're going for, but I think if you had gotten down to her level and included people in expensive clothing or tall powerful building, the story of this lady's sad situation would pull me into her plight.
Just my 2 cents.

Neil, the "animation" you've added to this old gnarled snag is fantastic. It looks like the candidate for a "full moon transformation" into a gnome or wizened old dryad. As all those above me said, marvelous capture!

Hi Laurie
I agree with Michael about taking out the cat/dog equivalent to "red eye" out of the photo, but please! Leave the catchlight! It adds life to any photo containing eyes.
Nice, nice photo. All black/grey/white animals are hard to shoot because the autofocus/autoexposure has a hard time deciding what values are accurate and ends up getting it wrong.
Thanks for commenting on Joshua the Pest. It's really not one of my better photos but I love the cat (one of 3 currently in my "family") and think he has wonderful eyes.
