Your thoughts please

Sun finally came out for a few moments.
D200, Sigma 24-70 f2.8, ISO 200, 70mm, 2000th shutter

Bright color, nice focus, centered nicely....Good shot .

Nice shot.

I know what you mean about the lack of sunshine. I was just down in your neck of the woods last week and had a rare glimpse of the west side of the Tetons.
Been by them a 100 times, but they are usually covered with clouds.

Nice shot, something is bothering me about the focus, Maybe you should have focused on a petal instead of the stamen, or maybe some sharpening would help. Otherwise I like the colors.

OMG, my absolutely most favorite part of the world. Hike there many times and would have loved to live there! . . .sigh . . . such a magical place!

Kent, your shot is beautiful! I'm not sure that anything should be different with this. It "screams" springtime!

I like the shot, too........very pretty flower, but I have the same feeling as Jen......that some of the focus is just slightly off.

Top two petals chopped off..my eye is distracted to this

Was a treat to see them from the west even though it was a dreary day.

Nice shot, Ken. Needs a little more contrast, but nice shot. The Grand Tetons.........would you like to know the translation of that? It's French for......are you ready?..........Big Boobs!

If you'll permit me, Ken....this is what I meant by more contrast on your shot:

Also, if I had a Circular Polarizer filter, I would have used it to make those clouds over the mountains pop!

That was about the best I could get. From that place they are still probably 30-35 miles away and really gray skies that day.

Silvertip probably sees them every day off his back porch.

Yep, I didn't apply any tweaks to the upload. Just straight out of the camera.

Didn't mean to hijack your thread Silvertip

If the house across the street wasn't so tall I could see the Tetons out of my living room window. A beautiful site for sure!

Kent

I know the feeling. They built a house behind us and we used to be able to sit on the back deck and almost see 300 miles to Canada.

Took this the other day, any thoughts on this shot, what do you all think? Give me some feedback on the shot .

Other than the obvious about the one Pelican being camera shy, they must be swimming downhill or the horizon is tilted.

Seriously a great shot

I took a ton of pics. of these guys, they were pretty shy, here is one where they were a bit braver...lol.

The thick black chrome look of the first is awesome.

2nd one looks like there is a lot of noise. It could be from your compression software. What ISO was it taken at?

I shot at ISO 200, on the second shot I opened the lens up, as I was starting to lose the light.
Here is another shot at (I Think) f8.

Looks great. The reflection scores big with it.
