Great detail and colours. Aren't these flowers so pretty. I have a couple of bushes in my garden. What did you use for the background?

For me, this image is too blurry. From reading your about, it sounds as if it started off sharp, and I would be interesting in seeing the original, because for me the oil painting effect just looks like hand held blurs. The colours are certainly eye catching, both the orig. and the one that Bill added.

I love this picture and i love yellow roses too. Great color, form, everything. The dark background makes the rose jump out. Great job.

I've looked at all your yellow rose images and all of them are really excellent, but this one is the real keeper. The angle on the blossom gives it real three dimensionality and the placement of the stem is excellent. Good work on all of them.

I like the first one much better. This does not flow as nicely. It does not have the feeling of depth either.

Very, very nice. Not much to say here as the composition is wonderful the exposure dead nuts and the contrast with the black background terrific. Nice.

An excellent capture of a Wood Duck with highly accurate colors and very good detail. Would like to see it just a bit less centered.

This shot has a good wow-factor.
Excellent conditions, good willing subject.
Maybe a tad underexposed (especially the dark areas on the aft body).

Dan, I've seen a lot of so-so flower picks and few really grab me anymore. This one does. I like how all of the colors work together - the muted reds, oranges and greens in the background work really well to contrast the purple flowers. Also, the perspective of the flowers- the side view of them leaning towards something- is very visually appealing. Great lines. It is nice to see a flower pic that doesn't focus on the inside of the bud or the flower only, but rather on the relationship of the flower to its environment...opens up the photographic subject beyond the flower itself and leaves room for interpretation. In my opinion, this is much more powerful than a flower on a plain background. In short...wonderful work!

Nice mist and subdued colors. Well balanced. I think the contrast IMO is fine. Any more might detract from the mood.

Nice moody image. I feel like it could stand a bit more contrast however. The path is nicely placed in the frame and makes this work. Without it, it would be boring.
RE: The lens question... I own the 2.8 version. My thought is that it depends on what your looking for. The f4 is lightweight and more portable and indeed does cost less. The image quality will be very close to the 2.8. The 2.8 however will be much brighter to look through and having the 2.8 to work with regarding DOF is a nice benefit.
You should be able to get a great deal on a used 2.8 as many are selling to get the IS version. Check the classifieds at www.photo.net

Hi Scott.
I bought the lens from B & H Photo on the web. Seems to be the best rated photo shop on the web. I paid $579 for the F/4.0L lens. The F/2.8L lens sells for $1129. Thats $550 more. These are the USA lenses, not the imported models.

Very nice, I like the path type thing there, it gives it more effect with the fog.
Off the subject though, do you think that lens (Canon 70-200 f/4L) is a better deal than the f/2.8, since its about 300 dollars cheaper? Like would the 300 dollars be worth it to have a f/2.8?

Dan, of your "Audry" shots, this one really stands out to me. Details are magnificent and oh man are those eyes piercing. Definitely seems to have his laps around the track. Excellent job.

I like this much better Dan! Audry has a haunting look in his eyes, and having him look away helps to accentuate that. well exposed this time allowing us to see more detail and color in his face...

I am completely drawn to this squirrel's toes and fingers. I like the sharpness and how you got him kind of scrunched down and gripping something. I can't help it...I keep wanting to make cutesy noises when I see this...next time maybe try tickling him...

Thank you all for your comments. I was actually surprised how well it came out considering it was in direct sun light. It's so easy for the white on the belly to be overexposed.

Actually when I see Audry again tomorrow I plan on asking him if I could take his picture again, but this time under the shade of a nearby tree. I knew when I posted it that I would get comments on the bright sun. I still liked it though and wanted to post it. Maybe tomorrow I will have new ones of him.
Thanks for all comments, they are all welcome, good or bad.
