Great pictures!!

nice shots, all of them are good.. but the last one is too dark for what i think you were going for.

1&2 are my favorites.

1&2 are my favorites.Yeah I know exactly what you mean with the last one. I did 6-stop exposure bracketing on that shot but the branch with that huge raindrop on it was swaying too much so the longer exposures are blurry.

Thanks for the comments.

Great photos. I really like the first one. That's a HUGE sig by the way.....

[lowcrust]

Sorry to go off-topic but what exactly are you worried about when you say "image theft"? I've never understood why people blast a big watermark on their work.

I usually don't concern myself too much with theft of images posted here, as I always size them down to 800 pixels on the long side, which doesn't really leave them of much use for printing, enlarging, or anything else.
If I link to a full sized image, and it's something I'm really worried about somebody "stealing" (not too much worry about that with most of MY shots!), then I'd add a significant watermark as you've done.
Anyway, back to topic...
My favorites in order:
2,1,3. I agree with the above comment on 4. I just don't think you quite got to where you wanted to go with this one. Overall, a very nice series!

[jevidon]

thanks for the comments cubix rube. as for the watermark, i've just been using that as a standard watermark for all photos I post on my Smugmug site. They provide a really nice tool that will overlay a signature of your choosing but remove it when it comes time to print and ship a photo to a customer. As that site is where I store all of my photos, they come to you in the same manner that they are seen there. I am not worried about any POTN'ers stealing my work but I have had some instances where people have taken my work and claimed it as their own and have since made this a personal policy that I follow.

I love the first one Justin, good job!
