Awesome stuff HE. I really like the rail car from a few posts up.

Thanks, Macanudo. Regarding the rail cars, I was TRYING to make it look like they were sort of "exploding into the scene." For some reason, the Rolling Stones tongue is the image I was thinking about when I took the train shot. And I was trying to use the second rail (on the far right) to lead the eye into the scene. Not sure how successful I was on either of those accounts, but it's okay.



I posted some more today:

I got a "Coming or going?" vibe. The sky really sets the cars and the rails in their own colors.

The bar scene is fantastic too. The light is incredible and the bottles shimmer in it. The condensation is tremendously highlighted.

This is the high altar in a Catholic church up the road. Normally, the church is locked during the day because they had a problem with kids and homeless people coming in and harassing parishioners. I lucked out and happened to be there while some kids were practicing for their First Communion. After convincing the usher who was there that I had no desire to take pictures of the kids, I took a few shots. I was only inside for a few minutes because I didn't want to interfere with the kids.

Some awesome work HE. I love the building on the roadside shot in what looks like the Big Bend area. Great stuff!

Here's some of my recent shots out in the Hill Country:

jcazes: The second photo of the people walking on the gravel bar is the Pedernales River at Reimer's Ranch.

The last two photos are of the Blanco River at Five Mile Dam just south of Kyle.

Jeeze, Ace ... great stuff.

That second photo, in particular, knocks my socks off. Wow.

[jcazes]

Holy ****, Ace. Great photos. 2nd one and the last one are remarkable. What kind of camera? Were they edited?

I'm not a pro photographer like some in this thread. However, I'm the only one whose submission is from a magical place known only as Monkey Island.
