I like the perspective.

great B&W, nice eye for textural contrasts here and love treatment of the subject

This is great in Black & White (as msdedi already said.) The details are wonderful. Nice work!

I really like this - Nice work!

like it a lot. Black and white was the way to go.

As already mentioned above..... I like it too....

You've given these sunflowers a lot of character Nick, looks they're posing for an album cover. Rock on! ;-)

Nick,

One of my favorite shots on this site - well done!

Best,
Jon

i really like this pic i love the b&w.... the sun cast a great light

Love it!

The perspective is awesome & love that light.

Absolutely STUNNING.

Bravo~

Great looking sky..

Thank you Ian :)

Beautiful clouds...lovely exposure :)

lots of detail, great framing of field and sky, nice sight lines - well done

Normally I would think the tone mapping (i presume?) was a bit too much, but with this subject I think it works really well..

Love the view and angle here..

Wonderful angle. I agree with Brandon that it might be a little too over-processed, or at least looks like it. Also, it's a bit too much of the same grey for me. That said, it still is a striking photo.

Very cool shot, nice clearity and colour. Good DOF.

Through its unreality, this shot conveys something of the magic of the game of baseball - very special image!

Best,
Jon

wow the color of the sunset is so rich. and the silhouettes are so crisp. Excellent.

I like the composition and feel of this shot, but the colors are a little oversaturated, I think. There was enough color without boosting it this much. Well done.

Best,
Jon

I like the shilloutes of the palm trees and of course the color of the photo!

Great colors and silhouettes. But was the sky black or is it coz of ps?

Thanks all! Ps =)

Really nice.. Like the perspective / composition & the tones are lovely.

@lolly: Yeah, your right. I had to play with the red ones a bit... Barely felt like I knew what I was doing that night.... Once the moon went into the full eclipse mode, I had to go to longer exposures and you'd be surprised how much the moon moves in 2 seconds...

Yes, I do! It's a bit like taking sunset cloud shots, the sky changes very quickly. At least you had a go; I certainly couldn't do it!

This is just beautiful! Just amazing!

So are you ready for the next eclipse?

Fantastic !!!

Thanx for your "settings".
Really a great shot.
And more with a 70-300 Sigma ! gasp ! :o ;)
