Great colours on this one. Do you think it would look even better cropped slightly?

This is already cropped some. I just tried cropping a bit off the top, and I think you're right. It looks a bit better that way.

I'm usually not a big fan of bird shots involving human accessories, such as the table and chairs, but this one is just stunning. You exposed the bird perfectly as there are tons of details in the feathers, and the color separation from the background makes the bird standout.

I'm glad you liked it. I have to credit the cardinal for posing where he did and for being red against the mostly green background, though. :)

Today's shot is a place I bet many of you didn't know existed. It is a "tourist/post card" picture, but I wanted to use it anyway just to see how many recognize it.

Nice shot. That ship is monstrous!

Another of mine from the market...

She glows! I really like this just as it is, but I was thinking the same thing as Rowbear. How would it work if you went even lower, so the camera was looking up at her just a little?

I'll try and remember that next time I shoot. I also think maybe just a little lower probably would have been more dramatic. Toddlers/young kids are a blast to shoot with when they get along good. I'm getting better at coaching them to be nice more so than when I started!

Today's entry is a stray dog that was sitting there. We were waiting for a train (super common mode of transport in India) and it looked like the dog was waiting for one too... :)
 
Abstract Trees

Shot out of the window on a recent trip back from Pittsburgh. I was a bored passenger and decided to experiment a little. Came across a stretch of trees and thought a longer exposure would make an interesting photo. It's fairly drab, but I like the earthy tones it exhibits. Reminds me of some abstract art I've seen.

I could definitely see it as a great texture to use for photoshopping something. The earthy tones are definitely nice.
 
The Cherokee Memorial Park in Hopkinsville, KY, is where Chief Whitepath and Fly Smith, a clan leader, are buried. This site was one of the ration stops along the Trail of Tears.

Well, considering you have posted a few shots from Hop-town, I am about 99.999% sure where it is, but I'll play along and see if anyone else has a guess. I may just have a slightly unfair advantage, even though I have never been to this site specifically ;)

This is a really powerful shot. Great composition. I think the only thing that could make it better would perhaps be a little fill flash on the statues. I've really been enjoying your work. Just curious, if you don't mind me asking, what brought you to Hopkinsville? That's quite a ways from Atlanta.

Mine for today. Taken at the Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Thats some good exposure and framing. Also really good for a built-in flash too. How is that lens? Do they have a Canon version? That'd have some long reach on my Canon crop. Looks like it takes good pictures too!
 
A friend and I got together today and I got the chance to take some photos of his very quick EVO8!
