Shadow Play
Sorry, not an eagle. The closest I've come is the one that flew over my car while I was driving through the valley. What we have had is lots of snow. Nearly a record in January. Of course, it's now melting all at once, with rain due over the next two days. Should be interesting.

This shot is from the Brecksville Reservation on Feb 1. Somewhere under there is Chippewa Creek.

D300, 18-70 @ 46mm, 1/25 sec @ f/16, tripod.

Hey, I'm a sucker for these types of images - very zen, I guess... ;)

I like this very much, Chuck. The shadows from trees and drifts, combined with the blue tones makes this a wonderful abstract!

Maybe we should make shadows our "theme project" for this week! :smile:

I like this shot. I like the lines flowing across the photo and the colors are very calming. This could be something to put on my TV as a screen saver so I could move back and forth between the calming photo and the news.

Wish you could all have eagles. I like the color in this would look great on large screen.

Nice one Chuck - on this screen it looks like a very slight contrast boost would help, but this is quite nice!

Excellent scene and composition. I like the soft forms and the lines. It does seem a bit cyan heavy though, and I think it'd benefit from a bit of color correction.

I agree with Joel across the board--the lines and the subtle tonal variations are great. It does seem too cyan to me as well, but that's easily adjustable of course, if you so choose.
