"The Line Up"

Motivated by Sean's fireworks composite image I decided to try one of my own.

This is a branch over a platform feeder where I took an image of the branch and then individual birds as they perched on different parts of the branch. Later I brought them all together in photoshop. It was a very overcast morning and I set the exposure so that only the items hit by flash would appear and the BG would be near black. So this is a 5 image composite that is a little over 10,000 pixels wide.

Interesting approach to pano shots.

Nice job Joel! I like it. @ Joel Eade

"Balance"
Taken at Texas A&M University. Diver is at 10M moving into a handstand. He held this pose for a moment before raising his legs vertical. Amazing strength - I would have fallen on my face :) 6D with 70-200 f2.8, heavily cropped. I had to push the exposure in lightroom, but the 10 platform was poorly lit. 6D didn't do too bad at all during the dive meet. I had about a 70% success rate on keepers.

We had a really sparkling sunset today with intensely orange sky to the west and a nice pink haze to the east. I decided to share one of each.

@sedwards - could you send that down to Texas? We are pretty dry down here right now.

Nightime foto from my favorite spot.

I always have a twinge of regret when accepting a request to judge one of these, because I know it will be a difficult decision...and this week is no exception.

But as always, it's like Connor MacLeod said. This week, it's Karsaa's "Foggy" – wonderful mood and I like how it almost looks like two images with the clean edge of the falls.

Thanks for all the contributions!

Congrats Karsaa!

Thank you =)
