- Thank you for your votes! I am Alexey Pronin, live in Miami, Florida. In May of 2011 I attended a tour exploring Lake Powell, Utah. This scene was photographed at sunset in Labyrinth Bay. I took this picture with a Sony A850 DSLR camera and an 24/2.8 Minolta lens. Later I decided to give this photo a vintage "Wild West" look using a sepia filter in Photoshop CS5; only the color of rocks was left natural. You can visit my website for more images.

- Thank you for the votes! I am Alexey Pronin, live in Miami, Florida. One evening I saw my cats sitting together by the window and looking at sunset outside. I grabbed a picture and later decided to make the background more interesting. Using Photoshop CS5 I placed the cats into a photo of a sunset at Volga River, Russia, I took the same year. Both pictures were taken with Sony A100 DSLR camera. You are welcome to visit my website.

- Thank you for your votes! I am Priscilla Burgers, a photographer from Cottonwood, Arizona. I captured this image of the Palouse region of eastern Washington from Steptoe Butte. It was pouring down rain as we circled the butte to reach the top. The clouds parted enough to allow these glory rays to shine through and highlight the wheat fields. I used a Sony a-SLT A77 camera and Sigma DC 18-200 mm lens to capture the image. I processed this image with PS CC2014.

- Thank you for your votes! My name is Cyndi Salata, and I am a self taught photographer from Illinois, USA. This image is one of many of my self portraits. Although this is a classic ballet pose, the rest of the composition was my own idea; an improvised technique with no special effects added. I am posing in front of a real backyard fire pit while standing on a mirror. I didn't do a very good job polishing the mirror, but ended up liking the streaks it left in the final image. The front of my feet are illuminated with votive candles on each side. The camera used was a Nikon 7000.

- WOW.. Thank you so much for all the votes for my photograph. I'm Lasanthi Benedict from Southern California and I took this photograph of a Dolphin momma and baby off the coast of Newport Beach during a Whale / Dolphin watching trip. The captain of the boat estimated the baby to be a few days old based on the size / close proximity to the momma. I took this photograph with my brand new Canon 60D with a 75-300mm lens and the only post processing done was a minor adjustment for exposure / brightness and it was slightly cropped. My website is under construction. Please check out my facebook fanpage or contact me at [email protected] for prints / notecards / greeting cards of this print.
