Heh, heh, heh...
I guess you were talking about the homeless guy, it is a great emotional
photojournalism shot. The 7th shot for me was a foggy fishing boat.
I enjoyed most of them, but the B&W sparrow and the B&W mother and
daughter shots were ones I wished I had taken.
I just added that site to my favorites.
It's ok - there's some images in there that I like, but most have a
very over processed, commercial feel to them. There are a lot of
images that are tone mapped and some have a heavy hand with it.
Processing is fine - I'm all for it as you know, but there is a point
where you over do it. Subtle is good - glaringly obvious isn't.
Plus, one can only look at the Grand Canyon so many times before it
gets a little boring.
