Very nicely done! Last one would make a good NS calendar shot.

Fantastic Series...

"The Handoff" is great with the human element included.

Nice shots, not a big fan of the HDR though. I'd like to see it without the effect.

Your last shot is the best. You should submit it to McMillan Publications for their NS calendar, it just might make it.

The last shot is the best shot, but it could be helped by some better processing, maybe a touch of saturation and shadows and highlight work. The "hand off" shot is leaning CCW and the signal bridge is cut off awkwardly.

Here is another take on "The Handoff" I stopped using "lightroom2" and am now learning Photoshop CS5. I feel like Ive been missing out insanely by just using lightroom.

I submitted it today. thank you for your suggestion. I have a couple of shots that are "worthy" and always wondered where I could send them to possibly be published. Thank you!
