  • I visited this tree during the previous fall and captured it a fleeting yellow color. On this visit during the Spring, I found this tree to look more like what I thought it would look like in Fall... Although the reds can be brighter in the Fall, the color at this time was fantastic! In this photograph, “The Wishing Tree”, the Sun was fully uncovered. I was apprehensive about the range of contrast in this set up. It did take some adjusting and trials to “tell” the camera what otherwise it wanted to do or recommend. And using a very wide angle lens, I finally twisted into position to compose an unusual vertical photograph of this photogenic little tree. Sony A77 in Portland, OR

  • I got this image on the Jersey shore, after weeks of searching for this beautiful bird. Even on this freezing day, I had almost given up, but luckily, I kept going! I was using my NIkon D300 with a 70-300mm lens...Minimal post processing... minor color adjustment, and cropping..

  • Thank you for all votes. I'm Rizal from Malaysia. This image was taken during my visit to Langkawi Island of Malaysia. I was having dinner that time and blessed to have such beautiful sunset view in front of me. A combination of light dispersion, refraction and reflection catching my eyes to capture this precious moment using my Canon EOS 100D with Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, 1/200 sec @ f/10, ISO-100. Its genuinely from my DSLR and NO post processing at all.. ;-)

      • Thank you for all votes. I'm Rizal from Malaysia. This Oriental Garden Lizard attracted me to give my best shot while I was on my way down from Broga Hill, Semenyih, Selangor, Malaysia. I took this shot using my Canon EOS 100D with Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO, 1/500 sec @ f/5.6, ISO-125. A genuine image with no post processing.. ;-)
