Another one that I feel is short of the winning mark, but nice nonetheless. Opinions?

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

    I like the mtns, the colors. On the whole photo, I feel like there is too much sky, and I am not helped by the foreground.

    I would have liked, lol, a horizontal with just mtns and sky, do you have one of those?

    Also, I was trying to catch a playful dolphin with my camera that other night, I didn't. In your shot is that a dolphin? Or a bird? (Just curious, my dolphins look like that)

    Indeed, a very pleasant picture. I love the sky coloursthumb.gif . I'm not sure if there just wasn't enough interesting stuff for a landscape shot, but with such a beautiful sky, my brain seems to want a landscape shot.

    Other than that, I like the shot.

    This is a beautiful sky. I love the way the mountains are layered in different shades. It's a beautiful landscape. But, I think the foreground is a little too cluttered. If it were just one boat or the building and one boat.....

    I like it alot the way it is. Athough a pure mountain and sky shot would have been incredible. This is good the way it is in my mind though for this shot.

    Nice shot. I think you may be able to ever-so-slightly lighten the shadows in the lower part of the shot. And possibly trim a bit off the top. The color is so wonderful in the sky, the blue above it almost seems to distract. Good going though!

    They are all great shots! I like this one the best but it seems a little hazy.

    It was a bit hazy, especially shooting directly into the sun... oh well, like I said, I don't think any of them are IT, but thought you'd all like a gander.

    Thanks for the comments.
