Artistic Shots- Well thought out, framed (positioned), artistic shots only please.

A couple from the last few days of boating around Cedar Key

These things are very ugly, yet very pretty in a wierd sort of way. Plus, they're so curious and used to humans, they make easy subjects

Relatives of the Brown Pelicans, the White Pelicans are twice the size and much more shy. They're hard to get close to and this was shot with a Canon 30D with a 400 f/2.8 with a 1.4x extender on the lens giving me a 560mm equivalent. Plus, they were on a tiny little sand bar and we were on a moving boat bobbing in the breeze.

Great Egret leaping out of the Mangroves right behind our little motel

Some Random Spot in Utah.

Gender has an effect on this pic, Guys go "mmmm, steak" and the gals go "awww, so cute."

Some falls a coworker and I found this summer in the Olympics.

WARNING: This one's got blood and is not the most artistic. I still like it though. I whacked my finger tip off on a camping trip and got a picture in the hospital. The blood drop is pretty neat.

Ontario Re-Mix

With all the new tools available to photographers, things like Adobe's new lens distortion correction feature for instance, I felt it was time to go back over a few shots from my past and make right some of those nagging little problems.

Here are some I've never shown, and some you may have seen.

Love the waterfall

Thanks Pat. Waterfalls a pretty special here, they provide a break in the monotony of the forest. I had to document 30+ archaeological sites this summer and this pic is the epitome of photography in the Olympics.

What's it like living in a place where not everything is green or grey?

The finger hurt pretty bad, but I just missed the bone and most of the tip actually grew back! :victory:

Trevor, that had to feel good to go back to shots you didnt think made the cut at one time and end up with shots that look like that!! Those are pretty top notch
