Another blown out sky dude.

@ayaflo, most of the people post here are not professional photographer, there is no need to be harsh or calling people out. There are not a lot of JonL and james444 out there that take amazing pictures.

EDIT: if you don't like what you are seeing, just keep on moving.

If I run back a couple of pages, I see lotsa pics from ahorsenamedjeff and very few from james444.
But after viewing them, I only remember those from james444 as it hits a certain spot for me - a certain originality. That is exactly what I mean by artsy... . I am not any critic nor am I qualified to be. I am just telling that what ahorsenamedjeff has put up has already been tried and bettered by very many across the web. I think the subject of the photograph is the usually underestimated and composition of the same is often a hard task.

 
While I'm glad that you like my pics, I think you're misjudging the spirit of this thread. What I like about participating here is that it's more like a club that you can drop in if you feel like it, be it because you just want to look around or because you're in the mood to share some stuff. You'll always feel welcome and among like-minded people.
 
This thread is probably as furthest from a pissing contest as you can imagine, and it's pretty much the last thing I'd choose if I wanted to get ahead through competition. Just my 2c, no offense meant.

Very nice, I see from your pics you are addicted to very narrow DOF.

It looks great in many circumstances, but in this shot I would've used a bigger F number because it seems like with the depth of the dogs face, that not enough is in focus great picture though.

Took this from my hotel room on Guam in 2011 during the time of big tsunami which devastated Japan.

I disagree, it look great as it.

Love Guam but it wasn't look like this when I visited 20 years ago.

Yeah things changed a lot on Guam in the 20 yrs. It's a small island. I remember the first time I drove around the island without a map, and it didn't take very long to drove back to where I started.
 
Here is another one of Guam.

Very nice shot for the water fall. Did you use any filters?

 
Only the digital kind

Glad you like it, though. In point of fact there isn't very much touching up in that one - it came out pretty much like that. It is focus-stacked, however - I artificially increased the depth of field using three different images.I should have done a fourth one for the water at the bottom, but oh well.
 
Jon L: How adorable! I like the depth of field the way it is, but that's hardly surprising considering how I like my wildlife photography.
 
And now for another one from me: Miner's Fall, a large and impressive waterfall near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

 
And while I'm at it, a quick opinion poll among the Head-Fi'ers of the thread: Is the blurry branch in the lower left distracting, or easy to ignore? I personally find it quite easy to ignore, but I've had varied opinions from other people.

I found it a little distracting, it draws you away from the fall.

Is that a 20mm lens you are using?

Actually I would probably have ignored it if not mentioned by you.

It's a 17mm-40mm lens and I believe it was shot at 17mm.
