You should hang the third one down on your wall - poster size. Some great pics on here.

1. I'm partial to the second picture with your little boy and little girl kneeling down into the surf with the sunset and seagulls in the backround. Perfect!!! Like fourring said, that would be perfect as a poster size picture!!!
2. "Best I could do with subject I had to work with"??? Isn't that our own Webby??? Andrew Webber....the site guru??? I think it is!!! Out shopping for the web mobile?

I hate when people hear "HDR" and automatically think a picture is cool, when it's entirely pointless. Here's one of my first HDR attempts... the stained glass windows are washed out if you raise the exposure, but if you lower it, they look fine but the rest of the church is dark. So I took two and combined them with this result: (Sorry about the watermark)

Andrew, if anything I would have lowered the exposure on the glass. It's compressed and hard to tell but i think you lost detail of the beautiful stained glass with the increased exposure. Also check your white balance.
here's my "HDR"

here's one of my favorite.
you can find nature anywhere, even in a city like Tokyo...
I really miss having really distinct seasons like Tokyo.
I don't miss the people, but I sure miss my friends/family and the city....
Cherry blossoms by my house in Tokyo. I was always amazed how nature in a huge city like Tokyo can tell you the season. Cherry blossom at full bloom was an indication of early-mid April.

Mine looked much better in the preview. The computer I'm using is so slow, it took about 15 minutes to process the picture and then I didn't feel like doing it again. Here's the low exposure pic for comparison.

Pars,
Your photos are really cool too. I keep meaning to come back to this post and forget. Yours look like something out of National Geographic. Especially the horse with the black & white background.
Did they do painted horses all over Louisville like they did race cars in Indy and cows in Chicago?

Thanks! There were painted horses all over Louisville and I just stumbled upon that one a few weeks ago.
There really are some great pictures in this thread. Andrew, your HDR church turned out great, too.
Here is another somewhat "National Geographic" shot for you. This was taken at a parade in Toronto:

Suby 1 Wall 0
No kidding. The car's damage was minimal, the wall's was not. I am not sure Subaru meant "the ability to start from a stop, jump over a parking bumper, hop a curb and run into a brick wall" by it's slogan "the beauty of all wheel drive".

Beautiful picture Andrew, but i wish it were somewhere else, not here. I'm waiting for no snow and warm tires and roads. The older I get the more I dislike cold. Besides the girls wear too much when it's cold. May be old but I like to look.

Yep. 10 years at Comair. Last 6 as a Captain. Just got displaced back to First Officer this month. Quitting after track season this year and finding a real job that doesn't go to crap every 5 years. I am a generation too late to be an airline pilot. I would not wish this industry on anyone.
