Really nice shot Dave. Love the sun rays! How did you get them to show up so well?

Just got back from Chicago and wanted to share some of the shots I got -- feedback would be appreciated (you can view the full gallery here)

Well done. These are great. Have you tried the seats (Wrigley or Comisky) in B & W? How many shots are in the pano composite?

Thanks! I actually used Topaz Adjust 4 (Dramatic Portrait) on a layer (opacity about 40%) that really throws harsh contrast on an image. It works well for sun ray shots like this and adds a little more drama to the clouds.

thegfxman...those shots are awesome. I especially like #2.

I haven't tried the Wrigley seats in B&W, good call -- I'll see how that comes out.

There are 3 shots in the panoramic of the skyline. Love the 17-40L!!

My new neighbors. At least it seems like we have new neighbors. And I've never seen so many hedgehogs at the same time!

Last year we had one visiting, but today I saw 4 of them under our hedges in the garden. We put out some cat dry food and water for them to eat in a few spots, as they did seem to hiss at each other for sharing the same plate.

Totally cute and didn't flinch when I lifted up som foliage and got close with the camera. Even my cats didn't care about them. Just curious but never attacking. So I think these hedgehogs are here to stay.

It was also kind of fun to hear them chomp down the dry food. They have some sharp teeth!

Wow! How cute are they? Thanks for sharing!

I feel so gypped. All we got are darn squirrels meandering through our bushes!

LOL! We do have squirrels too... I haven't photographed them for a while (we have 3), but there should be photo's of the ones I photographed 2 years ago in this thread.

I wonder if hedgehogs make good pets? They seem to be more peaceful than our cats (who got into a fight yesterday with a neighboring cat — I have the neighbor cat's fur laying on the lawn in big chunks.)
