Great concept, and awesome location.
Yes...that is better then the first.
Very true. I tried to boost the yellow a bit more, but it started looking unnatural to me. And I left a little of the trees because I liked the one sunflower in the back sticking up all by itself.
Great shot - love how you filled the frame with the sunflowers....
This is awesome
Thanks to everyone who commented and enjoyed that picture.
Beautiful. Only comment is your horizon line is slightly askew which I find a tad distracting. Other than that it's a wonderful shot.
I don't know...that horizon line looks straight to me. I think it's the land mass that's throwing you off.Beautiful. Only comment is your horizon line is slightly askew which I find a tad distracting. Other than that it's a wonderful shot.
No, it's slightly off. You're right though, the visual weight of the land mass and the slope of the rocks in the foreground exaggerate it. ETA: I'd paint out the buoys in the water as well, but I know a lot of you guys thinking that's "cheating". To me, they only dirty up the shot.I don't know...that horizon line looks straight to me.

Very nicely done..
So, when is the invite to the rest of us to come out and visit with our Cameras?? 
Very nicely done..
How were you able to get the boat so vivid? Was this HDR? Great shot!
I stand corrected.And I agree about the buoys. I don't consider that cheating at all. I often remove "noise" from my shots.No, it's slightly off. You're right though, the visual weight of the land mass and the slope of the rocks in the foreground exaggerate it.

Yes, this is a 3 shot hdr using photomatix...one of the firse hdr shot I have done!!!
Hiking back down would be a real bee-yotch.
Nice work there.. The spider is one that stuck out to me.
Love this one.
That's what I'm talking about! Beautiful shot, Parm.
ETA: I almost bought the Sigma 10-20mm as it's much more budget-friendly, but have read that the quality control on this lens is hit or miss; if get a "good one" it's a heck of a lens that's nearly on par with the more expensive Canon, but you're just as likely to get one with bad glass. I need to use it on a shoot on Friday, so I needed to be sure I got a good one first time.
Finally got a chance to snap a few with the new 10-22mm lens. Not a lot of beautiful open scenery here in metro Detroit, so I decided to see what kind of distortion a close-up at 10mm would give.Renegade
Yup. Just south of Foster.
'Mother Nature in all her glory' is lovely. Great composition with the horizon just above center.Love that you were able to keep detail in the trees in 'Good Night' instead of sillouetting them. The blue-tint of the trunks is a wonderful contrast to the pinks in the sky.snogger said:
Thanks! Getting the right composition for those sunset shots wasn't the easiest as all were shot from a fishing boat. Luckily my Dad sat still and we did our best not to make waves.The "good Night" one was interesting..
Really like the DOF on this one..
Congrats!
Thanks! In hindsight I wish I would have shifted focus to where the sunlight is hitting or just stopped down a step. Ah well, live and learn.Really like the DOF on this one..
Ha, that's pretty funny.
