that's really amazing. i like the graphical way of your composing and the postprocessing.

Nice capture Jeff, I wonder if you cropped this to pano, or shot it this way. I ask, because the building and the rainbow being cutoff as they are feels restricted or awkward to me.

@ Beamer: A little of both. There was a lanai floor directly above me when I shot this, so I had an obstructed view of the building. I also cropped it a bit to eliminate the lanai floor. I agree that it is not the best presentation. In a later version I photoshopped the other half of the rainbow, which helps a bit with the awkwardness.

Nice light here! I agree with Clyde. Not much to be done about the cropped building an rainbow, but it degrades the photo a bit. BTW, I looked at the PS-ed rainbow version and knowing that it wasn't there makes this one the better one for me.

Greatly seen and good coposition. Rainbow in an urban setting looks nice. Could be a little more sharp though.

Congratulation on the feature.

beau trucage, photo amusante, j'aime bien

j'aime ton choix, très érotique, bien cadré, classique

Hi Jeff, I think I have to disagree with Olivier, I think the framing is a bit too tight, especially on the right and the bottom. I would like to see a bit more "breathing room" in this. The background seems to fight for attention some too. Maybe a little selective color correction to knock back the greens and boost the main subject a little.

Thanks, Beamer. I agree with your thoughts about this one.

This is beautiful. I like the dof and lighting/focus. I do agree with Beamer's suggestions - but really a great photo!

Beautiful, Jeff. I like the framing you gave to the sky with the buildings.

The leaves on the right are disturbing for me, without them the water would be more impressive on the picture.

I would take the frame out of this one. i think it will look nicer without it.

I agree with the above comments, it is a good shot though, beautiful location

Truly a stunning location, a shame about the plant on the right but I suspect your on a cliff and movement was limited. Would love to see a more closeup of the lighthouse with the water.

i don't agree with the comments on the plant ! imo, they are interesting in the shot
good job

Great to finally see the man behind the camera. Nice work.

I think that this one is suffering from too dark shadows. Maybe DRI techniques could have helped here, but then still there is a bit too less going on in this scene to match my taste. (Even though the topic is "Trees"; Maybe then a bit more of that tree would be interesting; don't know)

I think this is a really cool image of the tree. I would crop just above the wall closest to the tree so all you have are the tree branches and black and nothing else. I did this by holding up a white paper. It creates a very interesting abstract image. Try it a see what you think...

Thanks for the comments on this photo. When I made this photo I was interested in the way the light hit the leaves and the bushes. I kept the background dark to emphasize the light.

@Beamer: I tried your idea and agree that it makes an interesting abstract image.

A fine combination of details, Jeff !

Wow! The color is great!! Very nicely done! Almost feels like a painting.

Beautiful colors and composition. Well done.

the colors are beautiful...nicely done!

Very nice Jeff. I might have been tempted to paint out the stem on the right. That might have pulled this over the top. A fav for me anyway!!

Thanks all for the the comments.

WOW!
Excellent shot.
Great POV that really lends itself to this angle.
I really like the inclusion of the sky and the cloud in the corner!
I also like the reflections that are seen all the way down the rails!

Thanks everyone for the comments. This photo was a lot of fun to make, except for the crick in my neck. ;P

@Jeff: I always tend to lose my balance when trying to capture these types of scenes. Annoys the hell out of me to be honest. I really need to learn to keep my balance :D

Love it.

Nice angle.
Love the colors and the contrasts
