My wife has convinced me to again try two different views of the same image. She loves color images, while I love black and white. I figured I'd put it to a vote again to see which prevails. Let me know which you like better, the black and white or color version!
This image was shot along the Sea Wall around Stanley Park in Vancouver BC during a light rain.
D800, 24mm 1.4, 60s @ f/16, ISO 100. Lee Big Stopper and 3 stop hard grad. Processed in Silver Efex Pro 2 and Photoshop CS6.
Inspired by the work of others, I'm starting to experiment with ICM. Early efforts were marked by over-exaggerated movement of the camera, but now I'm a lot more subtle and I think this improves things.
Lovely water lily at the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens with a tiny visitor!
Thank you all very much for your views, faves and comments!
Update: Capture Dallas (Dallas News Online Photo Group) awarded me Photo of the Day for June 18.
From this morning's sunrise safari to the Westover drumlin.
I must be living a clean and wholesome life to be allowed to see stuff like this.

I am so excited that I finally got a shot of a Hawaiian sea turtle (aka, Honu)!! I have to say, the sea life at Hanauma Bay is so much less camera shy than that on the North Shore. I've done most of my snorkeling and photo attempts at Turtle Bay on the North Shore, and those fish run (swim quickly) from people. At Hanauma Bay, they nudge people out of their way as they swim by, and I'm pretty sure some of the fish were posing for the camera!!
I took this with my Canon S90 (in underwater casing, of course) that I love so much for a pocket cam (for any kind of camera for that matter)! Editing was done with Nik HDR Efex Pro and Nik Color Efex Pro....and a little bit of Lightroom and Photoshop. :)
This isn't my sharpest or best lit shot of a water drop, but it's my first time achieving this shape. A collision with no stem and a nice ripple made for a pretty interesting shot I think. Please let me know what you all think, any suggestions or comments will be welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

I think the treacherous path was worth the journey to get to see the Lower Falls along the Genesee River in downtown Rochester, NY.
On this Sabbatum Sanctum full of silent expectation, I wish for tomorrow a very Happy Easter to all my Flickr friends.
I will not say “May Reason prevail” because I know it will not, humans being generally fools when they’re not animals, but let’s hope at least that this coming New Year that opens with the celebration of the Resurrection will bring some appeasement to the world, as well as to our very streets.
Fingers crossed !
First time shooting in full daylight, wasn't too good with it. This was the day i met Steve, check out his stream here --> www.flickr.com/photos/steveskinner/
Combination of Bokeh and HDR - the motif was an electrically illuminated star hanging from our kitchen window. Shot with the small and inexpensive Nikkor 50mm at 1.8 which is hardly beatable for Bokeh. Hardly any treatment except for Photomatix and some Niksoftware Color Contrast Range.
Yesterday at the end of the day finally some free time to shoot. The weather was suitable for architecture but it could not be too far away. Also wanted to have a return to the Walterbos complex in Apeldoorn and that's a half hour drive for me. Was there a while ago with Susan Sanderus , Eddy Blokhuis and Joel Tjintjelaar . I am inspired by Joel's Frozen Music to shoot this picture.
