Not quite perfectly symmetrical, but for a handheld quickie, I like it. I'll go back and get it bang-on soon, with a tripod.

I love that shot, Archie. I've been trying to do some portraits (candid-like) for the past few days and failing miserably. Haha.

My current "best".

Comments appreciated.

Yay, get to post 2 in one day (one for September and this for October). End of last month's thread was a shot of Rome at night.

Starting this month off with the city of Amalfi at night.

You picked the perfect time of the evening to pick up the ambient light and the lights of the town. I feel I can wander those streets and terraces...

Newfoundland Moose:

Moose are not native to Newfoundland. As the story goes...in 1904 two breeding pairs were introduced for hunting/food purposes. Today the population hovers around 120,000.

It's not hard to guess what the moose are doing in their spare time.

I have been following this forum for a while. Here's my first pictures. Played around with Lensbaby and Aperture this (last) summer. What do you think?

Your photos have such an amazing quality about them that is hard to put your finger on! Just had another browse through your flickr page and I just don't know how on earth you get so many amazing looking shots from what would look so ordinary if I took them!

A very compelling portrait, acearchie.

Beautiful, Kallisti. The blue hour scene really helps to simplify the view, which can be a riot of colors and details during the day.

Looks like Fall is in full swing there. Lucky you!

View from the Lobster Cove Lighthouse, Rocky Harbour, Newfoundland.
Taken with the Fuji X100s, panorama mode. The single most memorable thing about that location at that time was not even the beautiful sunset colours, but the fierce and unstoppable beating of the waves. Click through for a bigger version. I'm thinking of making a canvas print out of this, maybe crop a bit of the far right first.

I left a little earlier for work than usual to catch sunrise and the early autumn colors north of town. I lucked out when a streak of light broke through some of the clouds to the east and lit up the tops the the aspen trees in front of me. It lasted only for about a minute and then it was gone.

Nice. Sometimes it's as simple as being in the right place at the right time. Helps when you have such a beautiful background as well.

Dude, if you went back and got one at night, maybe with some stars or clouds... photoshop in a galaxy and it would look even sicker than it does now

Beautiful. Crazy how steep it is... Been to that Almafi coast myself and it's truly beautiful!

Wow. Might have to purchase that shot. I like how it seems "techno"

Edit: one of my better ones, still using my Panasonic FZ-100. Working my way to a new Canon or Nikon ATM

Taken in Leiden on a trip with my grandmother to europe! Pretty much just a random shot though, nothing special...

haven't posted in POTD in a while. This was from a shoot this past weekend and was one of my favorite shots. I welcome all comments and criticism.

OK, so I take back what I previously said. Now this is my favorite of your Italy pictures! I know where this was taken from. We rented a small house outside of Amalfi 3 years ago and took the local coastal bus system everywhere along the coast.

Beautiful autumn shot from Alaska. Thanks, AM.

Hey! What is AlaskaMoose doing in Canada?
