You sure pick some hard subjects to shoot. All that glistening white snow on a very bight, sunny day.
I like the pine cone better, would have liked to see the sun a bit more hidden behind the cone/snow to reduce the contrast a little.
Yea, After getting out and taking these, along with some other pictures I'll upload to flickr another day, I realized just how much better they would have been had I gotten out around Sunrise.. The Beauty I saw was amazing after the 12"+ of snow we had.. unfortunately capturing that beauty near Noon doesn't work out as well as planned.You sure pick some hard subjects to shoot.

Early in the morning and late in the afternoon are pretty darn challenging in those lighting conditions, noon is virtually impossible.
Yes. Lots. Do you want the lioness chasing down the warthog, the two male lions killing the hog, or the ones with them both face deep in gore?

Warthog Kill
A different camera used on each picture.
I little Photoshop curve enhancements will really make those pop.
Do you carry both? Is one your wife's? Just curious. I like to hear about what equipment people carry and why.
Everyone should take a few minutes and scroll through the set of pictures. Some really nice photos there.Fred, is that a rental house? We have been thinking about a trip to Costa Rica and I am looking for info on a rental.
Those were pics taken by a co-worker and friend of mine, so I can't provide details. If you want, I can ask them to see what their response is.
Ooop! This is what happens when you assume, eh? If you don't mind asking about the house I would appreciate it.
I don't usually do favors for FBG's with member numbers significantly larger than mine, but I will make an exception in this case.
I'll PM any info I get to you mid-next week.
More than just 2 people. In the first 10 pics I count 6 different cameras.

Thanks! I wouldn't normally even have asked what with you being a salty veteran and me being a noobie and all but this could make or break a vacation!If I only had $619, I'd do it.
Haven't you discovered Bittorrent? I mean...ahem...Photoshop Elements is only $99.99!scottybo said:
What enhancements exactly, I have Paint Shop Pro.
I haven't used PSP, so I can't comment on it. Just to add that many photographers love Photoshop's tools. And from what I hear, Photoshop Elements is a very powerful, easy to use tool for a low price.
Cute kitty!
I like the Upper Sabbaday Falls shot. I like how the sun through the trees left a shadow on the rocks that looks like it is flowing along with the water. Again, time of day has a huge affect and is washing out the top part of this shot. I like the Ocean View one, but think a slightly cropped down version(Crop out the white part so only framed by the black) would work better as well as a different time of the day(Understand that sometimes you get what you get when you can).
One thing I noticed consistently as I was looking through all of my pics over the last year, was overexposure - particularly outdoors. Usually, I'm just using the pre-sets on the camera, but I think I need to start tinkering around with f-stops & shutter speeds in order to get what I want. Guess it's time to get a good book on the subject. Any suggestions?
Checked out from the library and read it twice taking notes. Once I get my dSLR I'll probably have to check it out again. 
I like the composition. I think this one would look good in B&W. Also, go back when there are leaves on the tree for a , possibly, better color pic.
Definitely. We don't get big swings in weather here (no show) so I should take better advantage of the other seasons.
Stunning!
Holy ####. What camera do you have?
That was taken with a Canon 5D and a Canon 24mm lens.
Makes my pics look like polaroids.
:FINGER:Yes, I am jealous..

In less than one month I will be getting my XTI and then just you wait..
It is all about the scenery. Anyone can take good shots of great landscapes and beautiful nekkid naked women. Now, if my wife would just let me take some pictures of beautiful nekkid women.....
Filters?
No filters.This is a High Dynamic Range image combining 3 bracketed images (exposures of -2, 0, +2) in Photoshop CS2 (Merge to HDR) and then processed in Photomatix Pro.
.. Any Kill shots?
