The sky was a touch hazy this day...sadly, such is not something in my control.

"Hey God....clear the haze will ya...I'm trying to take a bloody photo!"

(just didn't seem like it would work)

This is my second submission. I am actually happy with the result. At first I was disappointed with a 5. But then i realized that the top photos are usually only in the sevens. Um...I would really like to know why two people gave it only a "2". The threes I can grin and swallow. But I do not feel that the two 2's were warranted. Probably didn't effect the score too much.

I had another that I would have loved to submit but was one day outside the entrance. I swear, it is so neat I might submit it anyways for a contest and who cares if it gets DQ'd. It was a trick photo. Incorporating a palm tree and a lighted chandelier. I managed to make it look like the chandelier is floating like a crown upon the palm tree in broad daylight.

I really wished DP had like a 3 month "Best Of" or even the ability for a person to list their 10 personal best and have people rate them. That would be COOL!

Very graphic, a bit flat though. A bit more contrast and saturation in the water/sky might help.

Don't know about this cave...are we supposed to see a profile of a head of a man with a goatee? Like it a lot. Perhaps blues need upping?

Nice view, would have liked it better with more of the dark left and right parts cropped off.

And where was this shot in the silhouettes challenge? Good here, even better there. The colors are a little washed out towards the horizon. Perhaps a little contrast tweak and a saturation sponge to go with it?
