Andybev, it's a lot harder to "open that shutter" than one might think. Some fine arts photographers work years trying to perfect that "Decisive Moment," while others try to creat great portraits. I've been in the business for 26 years. I shot a lot of photographs on both emulsion based film and digital. Some cameras are easier to use, but no matter how advanced your camera is, the photographer sill has to have some artistic vision, and I thought your pictures truely showed that vision.

Please don't feel embarassed. I just happen tonotice these things. I love an interesting photograph.

Mike

I've taken a lot of pics in my adult life and I was only really happy with one.....

Thanks Mike. I do tend to downplay compliments.

Spooky, was that your mug shot?
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

it was actually a pic I took on our honeymoon when we drove up PCH, we stopped and went down to a rocky beach area as the sun was setting, I took the pic of the setting sun over the water with the light bouncing off the dark, beach rocks....It was a really nice pic......I wish I knew where it was so I could post it.

i've never really taken a pic that's "photographer" worthy :(
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!
