    I like the juxtaposition of the horizons in these two shots. I don't know if you posted them with this in mind, but the implied reversal of the light/color gradation on the horizon is really interesting.

    Thanks for the kind words Bill, yes I was going for this sort of effect, both shots were taken just after the sun had set which brings out such a gradient in colours. I also gave them a bit of a HDR effect to bring out some surreal detail in the rocks of the first picture and punchier colours in the 2nd :)

    Hi, my name is Ken Murphy. I recently became the proud owner of a very lightly used Canon 40D. I love photography and have been blown away by the quality of the images I've found here. Please help me become one of you, C&C very welcome. Here's my first try in a challenge of any sort.

    f10, 1/1000, ISO400, 75mm.

    Hey Ken,

    I just got started at this site, too. People here seem to be pretty friendly and there's enough content to bury you online for waaaay too long.

    The 40D is a terrific camera - looks like this "lightly used" one landed in good hands. Your entry is really top-notch.

    My 2 cents on your photo: I like it for lots of reasons... The exposure is perfect for the range of light throughout - down to deep shadow details in the post with black being only where black should be. There's not a blown highlight to be seen. The subject placement of the post and fence provide an effective frame for the distant mountain, while maintaining their focus as the image's primary subject. The lines of the barbed wire draw your eye to the top of the post and accentuate the distant peak and the framing effect of the post and fence. The colors are vibrant and not overly saturated (a pet peeve of mine... and unfortunately a personal tendency I have to fight). The subject focus and sharpness are outstanding, too.

    Nicely done.

    As an occasional motorcyclist, I'm intrigued by the necessary dual function of this guy's left hand. It must be a ride full of interesting choices: Hold the dog? Engage the clutch? Hold the dog? Engage the clutch.

    Nice moment you've captured.
