    that's one cool portrait - really like it

    and you're right about the overusage of HDR/DRI, though I don't see why you deem it in general as there are some occasions it might be useful (even one-shot DRI based on 16 bit information) - not gonna derail the thread though.

    Love the mood on the last one but the sky seems to be a little bit greyish on it. I prefer the one on the first shot : )

    See that's what I've been trying to capture for ages but never have been able. I get a white blob instead of that. What did you do to get that?

    I guess my cameras chip aint good enough.

    I told you already, man.

    You dont do long exposures of the moon, its really short at a higher F-stop

    Try 1/250th at f/8 and you will see what I mean. Also, this was taken with a 600mm f/4 lens and a 2x teleconverter

    Nice shots man! Only thing that's bothering me when looking at your pictures is the blur on this guys hair, for me it seems a bit out of place for some reason...

    It was shot at f/1.4

    So, my line of focus is going to be 1-2 inches as opposed to a larger F-stop

    I do sort of agree that its weird how his hair is out of focus in the front, but its just a style etc etc I am not being very eloquent today

    wow that's one nice hell of a picture really love the lighting, the aspect ratios, the color, the contrast and the cam distortion towards the ceiling and the low ground... dunno if you could crop it a little on the left to achieve a perfect symmetry but well that could kill the "this is a real foto look".

    Wow, well thanks.

    And that distortion you are talking about is coming from my favorite camera/lens set up

    Nikon d3 + Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8
