Denise...love the composition of the Mallard.


QwRad....really like 1 and 4. Great character in #1 and #4 is very interesting. Just one of those things I've never really seen.


And thanks for the comments...much appreciated. Below is one more that I processed last night. BTW, I took #2 & #3 above and the one below with a B+W ND 106 filter. #1 above was with a CPL.


This is the upper portion ofCrystal Cascades. In total, it is ~80 ft tall.Shot with a 7D, 15-85 @ 24 mm, 1/4 sec, f/5.6, ISO 100 with the B+W ND 106 on an overcast day.

Two days of walking the nature trails has left me with LOTS of photos to go thru! Very early this morning I met up with one of the deers above and he walked with me for about 15 mins. He didn't even mind my flash and better beamer!

What a great set Denise, excellent work.

Thanks, Steve! These woods were packed with deer but it was hard to get a clear view of most of them, especially the babies but this deer I ran into this morning had no problem with me hanging out with him for awhile.

I took this picture are our city's nature preserve. I think this is one of the photo's I got off the path which I found out a day later I am apparently I am allergic to poison ivy. Spent the next 2 weeks itching like crazy. I like this photo because of all the different colors & textures on the cut tree trunk.
