This really is a wonderful capture it reminds me of a cross between a watercolor and a pen and ink. Thanks for sharing this one.:)
 
Thanks Doylem, Phrasikliea and and Fujiko7.
I followed the boat and waited for the right moment, with so many boats moving around you'd wonder why there aren't more collisions :p

There are so many great images on the last few pages, I wish I could comment on them all.

Calming, beautiful shot! I love the colours, the greens and almost pink rocks against that great hue of blue in the water. Great job!

Stunning pictures Steamie! Absolutely outstanding.
I love the painterly feel to the second one, the simple cool colour palette, the silhouettes, composition ... it all pieces together so well to form something so mysterious and visually appealing.
My favourite pic of this month!

Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking around the Photo of the Day thread for a while now, but I finally figured I should contribute. I'll start with this picture.

DSC_8091.jpg


This picture was taken at a concrete factory in Colorado. I was driving by on the highway and decided to stop and explore. This is the best picture that I got. It was taken at f/8, 4s with the D90 and a 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 Nikon kit lens.

Welcome to POTD :)
I really enjoy your photo,
I understand what Phrasikleias saying, but I like the darkness, it adds an element of mystery and unknown and helps the bright industrial lighting draw me in with the directional movement of the train.
I think I would have composed the shot slightly differently, perhaps moved a bit lower or walk forward and zoom out so the smoke stack isn't cut off.

Top shot otter, beautiful soft light. You've been posting some great shots lately.
I love the varied rocks on Australian coastlines, you can have real soft and gentle ones like this, to real angry, sharp, confronting rocks. Orange rocks, red rocks, white, black, green mossy, shiny.
They could come as large boulders like this, shards, large solid rock platforms, reefs, blow holes ...
You can travel a short distance and see so much variation.

Where abouts have you been travelling?

I enjoy nearly all your pix, Steamie, but I really don't like this one. And I'm not even sure why... except that it just doesn't 'look right'. Your previous shot - with the mist and warm light - convinced me in a way that this one doesn't. The colour palette here looks 'off', it looks over-processed (but probably isn't), and the paleness top and bottom just seems to accentuate the wierd 'sausage-shape' that is the land. I don't get the feeling of being by a lake at dawn.

A lot of your pix would look great as posters, or a calendar, because they'd repay being look at and enjoyed again and again... but not this one.
 
Gosh, thanks for all the comments everyone. I've actually been around here and posting off and on for quite some time, almost since the beginning of the original POTD thread. More recently, though, I've moved to Australia from Seattle and before settling down I decided to travel for a while. I've spent the last seven months travelling around Australia, Bali, Singapore, and the Philippines (and next week back to Seattle and the Oregon coast, briefly). Sometimes I feel my photography has really improved during this time, and other times I feel like pulling my hair out in frustration. Travelling around Tasmania and western Australia I was able to get a lot of nice landscape images. My images from SE Asia - still a ways down in the queue - tend to be less pretty stuff and more travel/photojournalist/documentary, which generally don't elicit as many oohs and ahhs but hopefully people will still enjoy them.

I hope Tumblr stays stable so that my photos don't break continuously.

I like it. I like the feel of it, but I'd like to see the bottom of the doorway. My eyes went to the arch first, then the doors then the number and then to the bottom and boom, I felt something was missing. But that's just me and I am a relative beginner as well.
