Pdxflint, that is an amazing capture.
I really feel as though I'm there, ready for the jump...
leading down into the unknown, below the mystic clouds...the warm colours in the sky against a cold landscape adding great emotion. Excellent.
Keep coming back to this one to dream
Thanks for sharing!
Agreed on all accounts. Detail is so hard to get in snow and you nailed it. This pic makes me miss riding a lot. Can't bring myself to ride out here on the east coast.
Welcome to MR and our happy little group. I think it's cool that you made this your first post. We hope you will both post and comment. We are always nice and kind.
I really like this image. The reflection in the sheep's eye really makes me wonder what the animal is seeing and thinking. The only thing I might do differently is crop just a very small amount from the top to get the center of the eye above the vertical center.
Didn't you mean to say this is not merely a cat?
I can hear the groans already.
I was playing around in PSE. I don't know if it's any good, but I had fun playing.

"Stare down"
My black Lab-Great Dane 10 year old dog, "Jedi", was chilling out after playing Frisbee with me last fall.
I liked his look and got my T1i and took some shots of him.
This was very early in me getting the T1i, I used the pop-up flash as fill flash. Minor/basic PP done.

Wow...the hyperness of a lab and the size of a Great Dane. Sounds like a dangerous combo. It makes me miss our black lab. She's with my parents now since we can't have pets here.
I think it's composed very nicely and shows what he was feeling at the moment. My only complaint is that for this shot I think everything out to his nose needs to be in focus. The blurry nose keeps drawing my eye down away from his eyes.

Thank you!
It's a horse though...

I must be tired, I should have seen that one coming
Here is my entry,
From an adoptables shoot I did

If you go to the site and grab a larger one, you can see quite a bit of detail around the eye.

I like the composition too, but maybe also take the sharpening down a bit?
I'd like to see this fine animal with a less distracting back ground - I hope you come back with this - great dog.
I not sure about the crop of this - it needs more ground - is that possible. I also live in a mountainous area and stuff does get in the way - great colours though.
I'd crop this - especially on the right hand size - needs a little work - sometimes cropping is everything. Nice and clear though.
Finally feeling bold enough...
Shot this Saturday morning through my kitchen window as i didnt want to scare it away by sliding the glass door open. Also, this is one of my first fully manual shots. Even MF. Other than some cropping this is SOOC. I am quite pleased with the results. What do you guys/gals think?

Now for the comments...
Awesome perspective, and kudos on the hand holding.
Love the DOF on this, well done.
I like this a lot, but i like finding ways to creatively place myself in the photo as well. I have a similar shot, but I'm reflected in my ex's sunglasses.
I think the flash makes the dog look too shiny. Maybe even wet, or greasy?
I dig it... and i swear this same shot, or one VERY similar is/was pre-loaded on my brother-in-laws HTC HD2.

I like all three of these images. It can be hard to capture the imposing nature of some of these structures. The three of you have done this very well.
^ Great shot. Really stopped me when I checked the new Challenge.Here's my height entry.
^ As others have said, this is a great bit of photography. It has a grand feeling of scale, and chill, too... The edit with the PS work is good. I can usually see that stuff and it bothers me more than stray peeps...<snip>

^ Great cat photos, guys!
^ Great contribution, Ish. Unusual photo of the Tower. The base really gives the feel of mass that the structure has. The edit with the increased saturation is well done. Thanks.
^ Great photo of your dog. I love the character and depth of expression in his eyes. Nice composition and focus."Stare down"
^ I like the feel in the eyes and the texture of the coat. What breed of dog is this. Looks a bit like a Staffordshire terrier.![]()
Nice photos by all.

I think I'd crop it some more - I love the colour tones that flow though this but I'd bring it in a bit tighter. Quite a change for you - nice work and nice eye.
Now its only a personal opinion I tried what I thought - cloned out the grass too. I was trying to use the fence poles as a pseudo frame
