    One big basket!!! The fruit was looking through the view finder.

    What was I thinking?

    The rule of thirds, water at the bottom third, basket in the top, off set slightly to the left.
    Water in the shot makes it more interesting than a full frontal view.
    Good blue sky, Hoya UV(o) filter and a PL filter. 14-45 kit lens.
    Mid morning, not noon sun.
    Branch on the left needs to go, I can see that so pretend it's not there.

    With that said how did I do???????????

    OO ya I had to get a picture of my dirty truck:thumbsup:








    How can I be lost
    If I've got nowhere to go?

    For some reason the first image is distorted, It looks like it should be taller?

    I like them. Looks like you might have used that polarizer I sent you? Boy would Yogi Bear have a field day with that picinic basket. Don't stack them filters, you have some vignetting on the last one.

    If ever there was an office building that represented what a company does, this is it. You captured the essence very well Tyson. Colors are rich, and the composition is nice.

    First of all, congrats to the architect. Then congrats to the co. that decided to go ahead cause most are probably too conservative to.

    I think the shots are good but the first one is just too saturated/dark with the blues. My favorite is the 2nd one on the second posting. Really straightforward shot, clear, clean and right there.
