What did you do to this in post production? It has a tone that is very "contemporary", that I like.
When I first looked at this, I thought it was sausages ... guess I must have been hungry. Anyway, I think the texture of this one is great.
I love that kind of sunlight through stormy clouds and this gets it spot on!

Unfortunately you are all too correct. I felt I had no choice - there is a lot of clutter in the foreground. So rather than emphasize the mountains (which had been my desire) I cropped to emphasize the clouds.
I set my white balance from the snow. Now I'm playing with layers to have different white balance / saturation for the mountains versus the clouds. Should be fun ...
As always, appreciate good direct feedback. ty
Brandenburg Gate...
From the roof of the Reichstag. The US Embassy is the large building just beyond the gate.

If you wouldn't mind care to post a link to desktop sized (1920 x 1200) version?Early morning dew
Here is an unprocessed photo I took in Italy. Anyone have suggestions to make it better?
this is really amazing
i think maybe bracketing then doing a little HDR would have made this incredible, but its hard with the wave moving..... so i dont know if its possible
gotta be one of my all time favorites, though
I'm quite in love with the "clarity" setting in Lightroom 2/3 BETA. All I did was push that to the max, tweaked some of the highlights and shadows (also messed with the black level, crushed them a bit) and added the vignette. Nothing special really.
As for today's image. Here is my first HDR image ever.
Also did a black and white version, but I didn't quite know which would do best.
Zooooom...

You've done a good job on the HDR there, however I prefer the B&W version. There's something about the tones that makes it 'sing' for me.

Love the bokeh and the DOF. I'm guessing it was max aperture on the lens listed in your sig?

Duck!
I use the term "duck" to identify the bird and also the need for the photographer to take action. Two ducks took off and I just had time to capture a few shots of which only one shot was a saver as they approached me... they did turn to the right.. This is only about a 10-20% crop.

The black and white one looks like a period piece. It reminds me of like the 1920s-1930s.
Not sure how or when this happened, but i just noticed my poor nifty 50mm... I used my ipod touch as the light behind it, and i happen to have a glass of red kool-aid on my desk. I think the red made the crack (or whatever it is) much more noticeable than just the white backlighting.
