Took this last summer. Stopped to get a drink while on a hike and noticed the farm dog framed in the door. One of my favorites.

Another shot from my little point 'n shoot project. Most of the shots are done on Program setting, but later on I'll try experimenting with some of the more 'creative' settings... These are mainly to see what the little camera will do under a variety of situations.
Camera: Panasonic
Model: DMC-LZ8
ISO: 100
Exposure: 1/80 sec
Aperture: 5.6
Focal Length: 13.6mm

My first pano so take it easy on me
I like this, however it appears the image could be straightened maybe a few degrees, maybe 5 or so left. The apparent slope is distracting to me, but I like the composition and exposure overall.
That's a good idea about the glycerin, Doylem.....next time I shoot a pepper or other vegetable or fruit, I'll try that, see what happens!
Thanks, pdxflint and MaddMacs!

Can't you just see this cool little bad boy with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth? (not that anyone should smoke, of course).
OK it's only a dragonfly, but sometimes they can be funny.

Your bathroom window? WOW... I hope there are more impressive views in your main windows, otherwise the architect of that building messed up!
Male Northern Cardinal in snow
Sony a700
1/200 f/5.6 ISO 200 @ 250 mm
The brilliantly colored Northern Cardinal has the record for popularity as a state bird: in the United States, it holds that title in seven states.
This common bird is a winter fixture at snow-covered bird feeders throughout the Northeast, but it only spread to New York and New England in the mid-20th century.
Thanks

Whenever I see a pic with a purposefully small depth of focus, I want the point of focus to highlight something in the pic that's significant. When it doesn't (as here, where the in-focus bit of the bench looks much the same as any other bit of the bench...) I feel a bit 'cheated'... Like you've said "Look here"... but there's nothing there. Just my two-pennorth, of course...
Taken in Lanzarote a week or two back..
The steps are surrounded by water, very cool!

I get what you're saying. That's why I put my photos up here, for comments and criticism.
