Love your shots, Brant!!
Ok, call me crazy ...call me & my daughter crazy because she saw it too without my telling her what I saw but ...in the cloud photo, on the right does anyone else see part of an arm and hand reaching out of the clouds!? CRAZY!!!
Yep I agree, OK you are both crazy.
I like the tree shot Brant.
And the B&W hunk of wood Lancer.
Nice nature shots:)

This is what most photographers would consider very bad example of bokeh. But actually I used it for a creative affect, I also tried my older 55mm f/2 which made a totally smooth bokeh but I liked this better. Plus I didn't frame it exactly the same and deleted without thinking that it would make a very good comparison.
Anyway here it is.

Hello,
I read all these forums here a lot and admire all your excellent photos, so I decided to give it a try and post one of mine too.
So here it is! I would name it: The end of the road... I hope you like it

Sorry so many! it just felt great to get out of the house today when it was ONLY 90 degrees out instead of 110! Plus I am trying out some new post-processing techniques. Let me know if you like any of them. Some work for me and some ...not so much!
Thanks for looking!
Denise
Beautiful rose, Steve! I saw this type at the botanic gardens last month ...I just have to plant one next spring!
Matej - That is a really beautiful landscape photo! I love the composition with the fence and the colors & contrast are perfect!
@ Denise, you are a prolific photographer, good-on-ya. I started trying to find the best image but that did my head in - I nearly wore out my scroll wheel going back and forward. They

John, great catch. Dragons in flight is a tough task!
Thought some of these turned out ok.

Here are couple of pictures from my front yard. Currently I have a bit of an infestation of Cicada Killer Wasps. While kind of scary looking they are fairly harmless. Both are female wasps probably around two inches in length.

@ Neuro, Jayson & Lancer - Now these are some awesome shots!! [Y] [Y] [Y]
Anyone else noticing a very low count of butterflies this summer? Last year at this time I have shots of butterflies all over, now I rarely see them! [:(]
Wow Denise, your shots are all awesome - so sharp and vibrant. Your dragon fly shots are really good - great light. Did you use your 100mm Macro for those?
Well you've inspired me.....Here's my first submission on this site! Hope it works, not sure I uploaded correctly.
C&C welcome.

Thanks, Damian! Actually, for those I used my 100-400mm lens.
Your shot is really, really good! These are so hard to catch in flight! Sometimes I think I must look like a real idiot trying to track them up, down, left, right! I love the way both you and Neuro captured the wing movement! Only suggestion I may have for your shot (which I rarely suggest anything since I
Wow, such great optics that 100-400....so sharp.
Thanks Denise. Kind of a nerve-wracking thing posting my first one. Any way, thanks for the critique too.
Yes, it definitely was not easy (but still fun!). I sat by this pond for a few hours where a few of these DFs were feeding and must have taken 100 shots - I think I kept 3. The original is heavily cropped as I was using my 24-105mm. Hmmmmm I feel a bout of "L" disease coming on....
While not a great wolf picture. I would have to file it as one of my best since I have so few. 100% crop, with the 500mm hand held about 200 yards away. Madison River at Yellowstone

This one is in the Grand Teton's, shot from the passenger side of your Yukon through the drivers window. I am not sure I like the way I croped it because you eyes are drawn to the OF mom first. But that really is how you first see the baby, you see the Mom first then notice the baby. 1DIV with the 500mm handheld.

I think the deer photo is great and I really like the composition showing mom in the distance watching you! As for the wolf photo, I would love to get a shot like this but at the same time ...I would be scared to death to get a shot like this!
Denise
Mushrooms anyone?
http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6198/...674d4ba5_z.jpg
cool shot DD
DoF is perfect and the tone is great. I love that shot DD
Lovely perspective, nice shot Denise. Original treatment.
[:)] Double post.
Double ...no triple thank you!
Oops sometimes this site does weird things, oh well here is something weird from my garden.
Little bit of 3D going on here perhaps.

Taken with the Zeiss 35mm, what a sweet lens.
Cheers,

Interesting garden art

How many dragonflies do you see?
http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6085/...21791932_z.jpg

LOL! I have no clue! I cannot decipher this at all! It looks like it is a red dragonfly with a head at each end but yet maybe a dragonfly underneath but yet why is there wings at the bottom??
I didn
Tsk tsk, Denise. I thought this was a family-oriented site, and here you are showing a pair of dragonflies 'in the act'... (the second one is duller in color and is bent around underneath). Nice capture!
ROFL!! [:$]
This one isn't wild. It was from a zoo. I tried to build off the patterns and create several triangles in this shot. This is a cropped shot, but for once I actually had this image in my mind and then just waited for the giraffes to cooperate. What do you think?

The hb's may be gone from my yard but the butterflies are keeping me from getting bored!
