Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.

It's hard not to feel a sense of awe and privilege to photograph these beautiful creatures that were once endangered because of people and our use of chemicals like DDT.

Hummingbirds!

^Looks like they've made some good progress since I was there a few months ago.
Nice balanced exposure, the sky looks nicely exposed relative to the buildings.

An Osprey from last weekend:

Both really great captures!

Doylem, the pictures in your last two posts have not shown up on my computer. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, I've had to re-upload my last 2 pictures as they weren't showing, seems to be something going on with imageshack.

Reef, a beautiful. mystical photo! I love this one. Any light painting involved or is that just reflected light off of the waves on the rock formation? Here's a moonrise I captured when I was in Moab. The chimney like rock formation is naturally tilted as my camera was leveled for the natural horizon. I decided to leave it as nature created it rather than "straighten" the picture.

Wandering around the city yesterday, I spotted this glimpse between two rows of townhouses with a disused smoke stack at the end. Just had to wait for the right clouds to appear!

Wow, is that what it really looked like? It's gorgeous.

 

[OliverOSX93]

One of my first (in my swayed opinion ) really good macro shots.

 

[iWeekend]

the venerable MV Coho loading for its morning run to Port Angeles

this is one of those photos I'll revisit when I get better at selective masking, but for now a simple b&w touch.

In French we say "tabarouette" , as in OMG

Very nice capture, one you can be proud of.
