January 2013 - Nominate another member's photo here

Hi members!


Time to start nominating photos that you like that are posted in January 2013.
Thx!

This is a very cool long exposure by taffy in the thread http://www.photography.ca/Forums/bla...don-beach.html

I really like the moody feel to this well composed shot and the way the light is glinting off some of the rocks.

Thanks Iggy - much appreciated:)

I have to nominate this one by Dan Newcomb from http://www.photography.ca/Forums/ani...ared-owls.html. It was hard to choose but the action and intensity of these eyes is incredible

And Iggy deserves a nod for this fantastic action shot taken for the challenge:

Aww, thanks, Bambi. :o

I really like Michaelaw's http://www.photography.ca/Forums/bla...nter-walk.html

KMunroe's http://www.photography.ca/Forums/ani...ngfishers.html thread is a great set but I love this one the most. The catch light in the eye, the detail in the feathers the delicious bokeh background... just awesome!

Seems to be a bird month! Mad Aussie's http://www.photography.ca/Forums/ani...ring-free.html is just absolutely lovely. The back lighting combined with a well exposed front is amazing.

Couldn't agree more. You beat me to it.

The quietness and sense of solitude depicted in "A Long Winters Sleep" makes this a splendid photograph.

Very well done, Iggy.

Why, thank you very much, Barefoot. :goodvibes

I have to add some competition to my shot though. Here's Bambi's http://www.photography.ca/Forums/sho...ter-woods.html

I just really like the layers. A bright patch of snow with a dark tree line and another bright patch of snow with more dark trees in the background. Very cool.

cheers Iggy!!

I could not choose between these two so am posting both. The female cardinal just doesn't get the attention she deserves. People always fussing and awing over her mate. :shrug:

I could just gaze at this one from JustinRyan for hours. The entire set is nice, but this one is special.

Thanks so much for the nod. I appreciate it. I would also agree about the females. Their colouring often times has a painted quality to it which I just love.

Thanks barefoot! Much appreciated!
