Beautiful as always!

Beautiful!
 

I especially love the frosted landscapes. Sometime you must tell me what you do on photoshop to get such great colors!

Steve,

Looks like you captured some wildlife in your 1st ice-wall picture. :laugh:

Really beautiful landscapes! The third one with ice and color together is great. Pineedles is right, looks like possibly something from the Hobit sneaked a peek in the 1st picture! I took the liberty of providing an enhanced close-up of the UFO (unidentified furry object!)

Great pictures!
 

Steve. After years of using films, I finally 'graduated' to digital. I am amazed of the processing cameras do to get great pictures. I find that with 'HDR' on pictures are almost foolproof. but I like to play around with setting to get that artistic touch. I also notice 'HDR' processing varies between manufacturers and even cameras!

Keep on posting your pictures!

Aren't you the funny guy! Lucky I'm not the finicky artist type! (Where did I leave the business card for that copyright lawyer? ) :D

Now this is just plain old "Piling On" 15 yard penalty!!! :)

Hey, if I can't be smart like you, I'll choose funny every time. :laugh:

I use Photoshop Elements, that program dosen't have a "real" HDR program.. I'm looking at some software called Photomatriz (sp?) that does some amazing stuff.

I think some HDR is very good, but some I've seen is, IMHO overdone.

This was taken from the area around Governors Island Bridge. Early morning just before the actual sunrise.

The sky was pretty cool.
