Well, as long as everybody else is exposing (get it - exposing) their
photographs, here are some of my favorites.

A lot of these are interpretative meaning that they were shot as I
wanted them to look - there isn't much editing beyond tweaking
exposures - with a couple of exceptions.

I warn you ahead of time - Experiment is a huge file. It's a shot of
a thin sheet of ice which was color toned from the original file in an
effort to obtain a different image.

Gallery are the thumbnails of my favorite images that I've shot over
the past few years. Just click on the thumbnail and the larger image
will magically appear.

So - have at it - enjoy if you will, critigues are always welcome.

Just, as Reggie says, check under your car for the next few weeks if
you get nasty. If your muffler is ticking, I'd advise against
starting it. :)

i thought they were pretty good. your "shadows" is like what I used
to do alot of with BW 35m. pretty good tree limbs on top of a sheet
of showy ice. I like the clump of weeds myself. Weeds are cool.

BTW, I'm serious, I'm not saying this because I'm afraid I might have
a ticking muffler. I'm being honest, because the muffler rotted off
the car months ago.

I always like the rushing water effect.
When I first saw photo xxx065, I had the impression of wool or hair (must
have the dog on my mind) although the rock and twig are pretty sharp..
I think I like xxx596 best with its numerous small streams of water
splashing on the rocks below.

You should talk to my sister. She takes those artsy photos too.

When I first opened the "Experiment" I figured he had just stuck the lens
in his ear and pushed the shutter button.

Every great artist has a blue period.

I did like the ducks, though. But I always like ducks.

Art is so subjective, that was my least favorite, I found it confusing,
and my eye wandered all over the photo instead of looking at the subject
(the ducks). I would have been very surprised if we had agreed upon our
favorite.

I liked these the best, in order of preference

I enjoy this simple reelection, but I would have added more negative
space to one side of the plant.

I know Harry's "blue period" was a joke about the Experiment photo, but
these photos do have a melancholy feel to them.

PS - I don't feel that I am qualified to provide an in depth critique,
but I do know what I like.

I stared at it for about 10 minutes until my eyes crossed.
I was expecting to see one of those 3D stereo images to appear.
