Thanx for your "settings".
Really a great shot.
And more with a 70-300 Sigma ! gasp ! :o ;)

Oh, pretty birdie!
Beautiful shot too.

superb !! great work (is he really looking at me ?? ;-))

wow awesome shot!

That is really an awesome capture...great work!!

Congrats on the feature, and well deserved! Just a quick question. How long did this take you?

thank you for the feature, great feedback and comments you all!
@Andrew...hard to remember specifically, but less than an hour no doubt

Well deserved feature. Excellent shot and PP.

impressive result of manipulation

Neat, thanks for the info of how to.

Lovely barn. I think I would prefer a less centered crop of sky and grass. Less grass would work better for me.

I was going to suggest cropping as well - even to 8x10 as there is a lot of grass foreground that does not add much to the shot.

I like your PP style - it is very HDR like

this is probably a personal nitpick but the building seems almost too bright or somehow out of proportion to the sky and grass. Maybe adding a little contrast in curves would pull it all together. Again probably a personal thing as you may have tried or thought of this and made a conscious choice to make it as is.

I love the green and blue together. The colors are fantastic. And the rolling hil sets it off perfectly. I certainly wouldn't want to square off a shot like this.

What an amazing shot - very well executed on every level... Instant fave for me.

Thanks,
Jon

Thanks Jon!!

I bet you started with a super photograph too!! Really nice work Sean.

Well done. Thanks.

Nice work!

Maravillosa, con una estética muy elegante. Felicitaciones.

Wonderful, with aesthetic a very elegant one. Congratulations

Love this one!

absolutely fabulous by the simplicity of this shot and i've never seen such before
clap clap clap !!
that's creative
Shine on

WONDERFUL IDEA !!! My favourite photo - such a simple idea brought to perfection. Even my little son plays with the spoon reflection every lunchtime but to do this with it would never come to my mind. Congratulations playful soul !

This is fantastic. Very creative and well done. Congrats.

I have never been here... oh my god how many lights and colours are there!! Beautiful shot, man :)

Thank you, Aurora (what a beautiful name!). I dreamed to see this for many years and I could make it only last year, but I was not disappointed!

Starbucks rules!

:O)))

We said: constructive criticism, Daniel!

Whatever, I love Starbucks coffee (and I'm going to have one at this place tomorrow morning...)

;O)

very good composition. balanced and sharpened. good job.vic

Me gusta mucho esta fotografia, creo que ha conseguido unos acertados contrastes. La composicion, los tonos llevan al espectador hasta la edificacion central, creo que está perfectamente equilibrada. Enhorabuena. Saludos

This is a beautiful picture of THE University! Well done!

Rural Southern Egypt, main north-south road along west bank of Nile, taken winter 1979.

This is the perfect antidote for anyone feeling stressed- it just epitomizes peacefulness.

The fog , the lightning ,the shadows and the clouds make this shot an incredible one! there's a strong feeling of calm and serenity going out there. It was also a difficult exposure due to the sun and you did it well .

good job capturing moment

Very beautiful image. I like that you got the intensity of the sun without burning out the colors of the trees completely.

Cheers

Chris

Sweeeet tones! Nice and clear, just LOVE the color. Perfectly aligned in the frame too. Thanks for this one.

Nice mood. In my opinion, food is one of the most difficult subject in photography. Here you succeeded in creating something inviting, beautiful, and I just feel like sitting there and sharing this with you ;-)

The New York State Riesling went very nicely with the apple pies made with New York State apples!

Bob, the lighting is fantastic here. I believe I'm now hankering for a piece of apple pie.
