Another one of your shots that simply "wows" me. VERY good work!
It's about 20 minutes south of Salt Lake City, it's a museum owned by the man who owns (or at least created) Corel. The place is called Thanksgiving point.
Also, the background is heavily cloned; I probably cloned out about 40% of it. There was a wall under it's snout as well as some glaring canister lights in the ceiling and a door behind his ribs.
Thanks for the compliments!

My first attempt at creating a valentine's card for this year.

This one really caught my eye. Let me first emphasize - I like the photograph a lot, just as it is! Love the greyscale combined with muted colors. Nice texture with the water drops.
But, when I thought about how it would work as a Valentine's Day card, this is how I saw it.... hope you don't mind my cropping your artwork.

You've got a great eye for a photo, and a lot of skill with post-production... though I feel the 'effect' could be toned down by, say, 30%... to let more of the impact come from the scene itself, rather than PP. And, yes, I know... no-one else will agree with me on this...
And, another thing that gets in the way of me enjoying a pic is a crooked horizon. It's not the horizon itself, in this case, but those three chimneys. If they were straightened up, I could enjoy the pic... instead of my eye going back to them.
Only my opinions (and meant to be constructive rather than critical)...
Powell's on a Sunday morning
A patron finding some quiet time in Powell's Bookstore, Portland OR. This place is the ultimate book lover's paradise. It's multi-levels, and a complete city block square (Portland downtown blocks, which are 200' x 200' on a very human scale.)

Exposure: 1/40 sec

Thanks. I left the chimneys the way they are because that is the actual way they appear. This photo is going into a photo gallery for that city, changing the stacks would detract from it. AT&T even used the stacks on a commercial to show the rising bars as signal bars. Sometimes it is good not to have perfect symmetry. In this case the way the towers look is the actual way they look, i would have to rotate the canvas 9.5 degrees counter clock wise to straighten them, which would result in disaster. Also, if you couldn't tell, i like being exaggerative in the coloring and many other people do as well. I've noticed that these photos sell a lot better then their original counterparts.

Valdore,
All of your work leaves a fantastic impression with me. I like HDR, but I love your HDR.
I've been keeping an eye on this thread alot recently, but don't get much chance to get out with my camera at the moment.
Looking at your website keeps me going in the meantime.

C & C Welcome!

I am sorry but am I the only one who just there is something off in this picture? I can not point it out, did you enhance the background to be more black? I really like the flower but theres something off (not in a bad way) like maybe the anatomy of the flower is different?
I had gone out to photograph whatever I came upon in a parking garage...I was trying to force myself to find interesting ways to compose things, similarly to exercises we did in high school art classes. After an hour of being annoyed at lacklustre photos, I noticed the lights on top of the garage....bulb mode, wave the camera around.....viola! I know some people here cannot stand these types of pictures, but let me say this: Itook about 30 different ones and only two came out "good." Most of them lacked any interesting design.

Taken with my Fujifilm F31fd. Minor tweaking and cropping in iPhoto.
C&C wholly welcomed as I'm very rusty with my photography skills at the moment . I've far better ones of my trip to Rome and Florence, but I haven't played with them enough yet.
