Check Out My Crack

Glad to be the first one to comment on your crack :)

Utterly impressive, Ian. Love the simple composition and the striking colors.

What a lovely crack, well captured too!

Plumbers across America are jealous.

Sounds like you're a crack addict my friend! Love the color of the leaves and wet rock. Very, very nice.

Nice crack! Good job on the leaf placements. The colors and image flow works really well.

Aren't we supposed to Just Say NO To Crack?

Great image - used to seeing yellow leaves around the crack - do love the red. Never been there just going from what I have seen in past photos. Well captured.

What do crazy eyed lamas feed on? Maple syrup sprinkled on crack

I like the longer view of the crack! Most shots do show less crack.

Leaf placement? I swear, those leaves fell there all on their own in exactly the positions you see here . . .

Dude, you really crack me up!

Can't believe no one grabbed that one yet, soft lob right over the plate

Nice!

Your shot seems to be a little more original than the ones I saw before. Maybe because of the leaves? The glow is mesmerizing.

Ummmmm.... well, you sure have a way with your crack display Maybe you can be a plumber? Seriously, this is really nice, Ian.

I'll try avoid being too crude and just state that I really like the metallic wet sheen on the rocks.

Nice shot Ian. I guess it is like a lot of other shots but how many ways can you shoot a crack? Yours is very nice because it's so wet and the colors and nicely saturated. The red/blue combination is particularly striking. The motion of the water running down the crack is also very nice and adds a contrast in texture. The leaves look nicely arranged.

Nice image, Ian. More information than I need to know!

Definitely feels like an original approach to the crack. I really like the shutter speed choice and textures in the water. On the flipside... I wish there wasn't so much glare on the left side of the crack. I also do prefer the more standard comp as you get a simpler, cleaner, and tighter composition which I think leads to a more appealing presentation. While this image does give more details as to what the crack is all about, I like the air of mystery as a result of the top down, tighter view.

Just thought I'd throw up a counterpoint! I'm digging your Zion images Ian, looking forward to more!

Nice crack.

Very interesting composition...nice image

Brigitte

More leaves.....More cowbell!!!! Should have used more leaves and more cowbell.

You're crack rocks!

No thanks! Or was that what you said to the llama when you were bending over to take this?

Now, your shot, however is great! I like your take on this.

A very striking image
Good use of water movement, it works well.

Ok time for bandwagon jumping if those leaves were just slight differently shaped and colored it would be a crack pot photo. Ian, I think you just wanted to see how many times you could get the word crack into a post, so I thought I'd take a crack at a critique. But there's not a crack to wedge a nit into this is just wonderful by "cracky"...I'd better stop.

Nice perspective!

No rule of thirds need apply here.

Nicely composed crack, Ian.

On the the most gorgeous cracks I've seen!

I think the longer perspective of this makes it somewhat unique. I like it!

Chris

Hi Ian ..... I guess its what it is cracked up to be, certainly better than your cracks. By the way was this shot at the crack of dawn? Very inspired. A crackerjack of a shot!!

We need one of those "crack" counters


Fantastic shot, it glows and flows, I'll create the verb "fglows"

One of the best crack shots that I have seen.

To be accurate, this "crack" is an eroded joint.

LMFAO!!! You are a funny man, Ian!
You have a beautiful crack. I'm glad you did all that bending over to expose it. Looks like you've done quite a bit of hiking, cause your crack is a bit wet.

Cracking shot Ian. A little contrived, but a nice touch with the leaves.

Haha, I cracked up reading this! Bold centred comp and colours. Works for me.

Crackhead

Actually, now that I think of it, I'm not sure I want to renew my membership if NPN is going to continue to allow people to sell crack here.

love the composition and colours! superb

The first hit is free Michael!

Ha! Did you forget that you were ON crack?
Gorgeous color and composition.

Love the title Ian. Nice shot as well.

Your comments on your own work crack me up, Ian.
