Post Your Best Nature Shots!

[Orangejuice]

Thanks for the tips Bob!


I increased the fill light a bit and tightened the crop all while trying to preserve the color of the sky and lighting on the leaves. Unfortunately It isn't the sharpest shot so more of a crop really starts to display the dull details.

OJ - Nice improvement on the cardinal shot!


Joel - That is one heck of a shot! I must admit I did alittle tilting of the head to the left & then to the right trying to figure out what it was before reading your description!


I thought of submitting this shot for the assignment but I already change my mind once on there so I'll just post it here ...

I spent Saturday on a waterfall hike in part of the White Mountains that is in Maine. I have only processed about a quarter of the shots, but I liked this waterfall.


Both with the 7D and the 15-85.

Pretty green Denise and I'm falling for your waterfalls Brant.


Another shot from Mt Tambourine. That orange blob below the wind sock is a para glider.

Jan and Steve....I appreciate your comments. Thanks. BTW, Steve, nicelandscape, especially the clouds. Nice effect.


I've finished going through my pictures from the hike and below are a few more. Please feel free to provide C&C, specifically, I am wondering about exposure and if people think these are underexposed.


Thanks,


Brant

Nice work again Brant, I like the second one the best, the light is softer and the composition draws your eye into the image to explore it.
