Just a quick note to let everyone know that Hamish has helped me change my name from to simply Chris...it's a little less pompous!:p Thanks Hamish! And just for checking in, here's a bonus pic! My nephew showing off his skills (soccer in North America, football in the rest of the world!)

Chris will do...for some reason when I signed up, I was not allowed to use "Chris" or even "Christopher", and I feel like a bit of a schmuck with Christopher-James above all my posts....such is life.

I probably would not have thought of taking that photo..."who would want a picture of dying flowers?"...but it turned out to be quite beautiful. You should take more pics of flowers!;)

It's funny, at first glance, the waterfall looked quite big. Maybe because of the various tiers or steps. But on second look, I took note of the grass and realize it's actually quite small. Neat trick, and great photo!

I'm not sure if it's the fact that the pic is monochromatic, or if it's the wild looking trees, but to me it looks like a gate to enter the past....ooooo spooooky! Very nice shot!

MMM coffee... I too love the crazy angle of the shot. It almost makes me dizzy looking at it. Dizzy in a good way, not like dizzy and I'm going to be sick.:p

The detail shots are quite good...you've captured the 'feel' and texture of the artwork quite well.

I prefer the first one...the empty space and the telephone pole do it for me...but I can understand why some might like the second. They're both beauties!

For me...#2. As many have said before, there is a sense of depth and realism that really pops with the dichromatic. Lovely landscape.

Thanks to all for the magnificently swollen head I'm getting! As far as the gear...Olympus e-500/Zuiko ED 14-45mm. To be perfectly honest, 90% of the time I use the camera like a point 'n' shoot. When I'm travelling, the last thing I want to do is fiddle with settings before each and every...

This was my first trip to New York in 15 years...still crazy! First pic is 42nd Street, second is Times Square, third is Central Park.

It sure is...at least that's what I assumed when I saw Eric's photo. Here's the better half on the same lava field. The landscape on the "Big Island" of Hawaii is in a state of perpetual change...the island grows at an average of 0.02 km2 per year. The geological history of the Hawaiin...

Thanks to Hamish and Brian... I'm not sure if they're my best pics of 2011...but they are some of my favorite. Chris

Beautiful shots Eric! "Tranquility" is an amazing pic...almost looks like two photos stitched together. Keep 'em coming! The "Irony" shot reminded me of my time on "the Big Island"...this photo was taken with a budget point'n'shoot, but you get the idea. I'm the scrawny guy on the left...

Monte Carlo... The port at Nice... Surfing in Hawaii... Alberta Rockies...
