Portrait - Dash

I took this one the day after the other. I like this one better.
Only part I don't like about the fisheye is you can see the non-painted deck. Thing is almost too wide.

Nice view! :-)

[Jonathan Huyer]

Landscape: Kananaskis Country, Alberta. We had a light snowstorm last night, making the mountains look particularly impressive today. This is a 3-shot HDR.

My picks for this week.

Landscape:
Jonathan Huyer's "Kananaskis Country, Alberta".
Joel was a close second with his water fall.

Portrait:
Sambisu's "Little Girl by Window".
I really liked Sean's as well, and it looked like he put a lot of time to set it up... sorry Sean, but cute won out today.:)

Congratulations Jonathan and Sam. Beautiful submissions.

Pat (conropl)

[Jonathan Huyer]

Thanks Pat... I feel like I'm cheating because in my neighbourhood you could drop your camera and it would take a good photo :)

There was great competition this week and I'm especially impressed with the portrait shots. Congratulations to Sam!

[Sean Setters]

If only I had put a cute girl in the corner of my image.... :-)

[sambisu]

Thanks! Sean, you're on to my secret strategy ;)

[Sean Setters]

Thanks! Sean, you're on to my secret strategy ;)

Can I borrow the kid for my next shoot? :-)

[Kayaker72]

Thanks Pat... I feel like I'm cheating because in my neighbourhood you could drop your camera and it would take a good photo :)



It does help if the person dropping the camera knows just the right way to drop it ;)


Great selections....
