So nice to see you here!

We'd love to see some of your best! Please post 'em!


O well. Since we are going to die soon I may as well show the lonesome gum tree.

I don't recall, but this might be a straight shot, cropped at the bottom. I can check if you like.


The method is not very important. The result just does not feel right to me. The building looks top-heavy, but perhaps I am the only one whose brain objects.

Toothwalker, that last shot is so spooky to me.... Seems morbid. Neat capture....

Great thread. Especially love Charles and Teh Rebels contributions.

This one is pretty recent, so maybe I'm biased but i think it's one of my best this year, especially as it was casually shot using magic lantern and ended up being pretty much exactly what I went out to shoot that day (something that never happens that often for me)

R. Youmg, I saw that one before, it's amazing. Personally I think there's too much tree, I would crop it square

Agree 100% Great shot and crop to a 1 to 1 showing only the trunk of the tree.

I would actually crop it horizontally just above the sun flare. The tree above doesn't add anything to the image, and the power of the deer with the meadow fading behind it is striking.

i like the tree in there. i would probably do some loCA correction of the branches though. out of curiousity, do those of you who would prefer a crop need to scroll to see the whole image?

Yeah, I have also since gotten rid of the LOCAs in the tree branches. Will try when I'm home next year and post a different crop.

I agree Sebboh, I am a little spoilt viewing on my 27" iMac where it looks great whole. Maybe on a smaller screen it looks too much

R.Young - it might help if you posted a smaller size of the image.It does look fine if you can see the whole tree without scrolling.

I haven't posted any statues yet. Who could think there are no statues among my all-time favorites?
Oh, and I can't resist mentioning the third one especially for those who think the ZE 85 f:1.4 is both useless and unuseable wide open...

That third one is great, a selling point for the Z*85!

Ah, it was a stitch, and I matched the perspective to the horizontal shots. I guess photographers intuitively "know" that the building should lean

+1. It looks like someone melted on the tree.

Agreed. I like the way the shape of the branches compliment the rack, but some correction would be good.
