Here are a few of my pictures from this winter. I'd love your comments, critique and suggestions.

I like the first two best. Nice compositions and I think the B+W works well. Although I usually like portrait-format landscapes, I don't think the barn lends itself to this orientation. Not so keen on the last two.

Spectacular !
from Ristorante a Beccafico Arte, Venezia
I presume that this pizza was for a group of people. Do you remembre the price? On top of it, it doesn't seem to be a lobster: what kind of crustacean was it?

I like the first two best. The monochrome presentation works well for both.
I like the first a lot. Nice, scene, good reflections, but I think it needs a bit of rotation. If you examine the bottom layer of clouds close to the horizon you can see that they are not horizontal but tilted. Usually this cloud layer would be horizontal. A beautiful scene.
It may be possible to get more detail in the snow in each as the highlight areas seem to be slightly blown, not a lot, just a bit. However the look of the image would be altered from as presented and you may prefer that look. I might as well not having tried it to see the results!

No, it's for one person
The crustacean is a langoustine (aka Dublin Bay prawn, or where you get scampi from). I don't remember for certain, but the price was about 13 euro. Certainly not much more. Our bill for two pizzas (mine was perfectly satisfactory, but not as resplendent) + mineral water + one beer was about 42 euro including 12% service. And there were some bruschetta to start, and at the end little pastries + a glass of limoncello included for free.... It was certainly possible to spend a lot more there (the rest of the menu looked very nice) but we were full after just the pizzas.

We ended our week of touring around Utah and Nevada with a visit to Rhyolite, a ghost town 8 miles from Death Valley National Park. Rhyolite was a gold mining town that started in 1905, grew to a population of 5,000, then began to decline about 1911, and was deserted by 1920.
Unless noted, all shots OOC MN jpg
RR Depot - Cropped and Adjusted in LR
Bank (near bldg) and School (far bldg) - cropped in LR
Following Rhyolite, we took a drive through Death Valley and were pleasantly surprised to find it in bloom (my next post). Prior to that we took hikes in Sloan Canyon near Las Vegas where we saw many petroglyphs, along the north shore of Lake Mead, the Valley of Fire; Utah's Snow Canyon and Kodachrome Basin; Bryce Canyon, Zion and Kolob Canyon. It will take me awhile to sort through the nearly 700 shots I took to find ones to share in later posts.

I like the errr, 'relationship' the tree has with its shadow.
If you squint at it...it actually makes no difference.

Yesterday afternoon, after our visit to Rhyolite, we took a quick drive through Death Valley before heading to Las Vegas for our Red Eye flight home to MN. We were pleasantly surprised to find the desert was in bloom. While not dense, these yellow flowers were covering the ground for miles and miles. We passed many other people out photographing this mass flowering. (Pics are all OOC MN jpg - haven't worked with the RAWs yet)
Flowers covering the desert all the way down to the salt flats
It was very windy, so, tough to get an in focus, shot of the blooms as the stems were constantly moving.
The camera is horizontal, this grade runs for miles.

Holy cow! I think it looks delicious. Sooner have it on linguini with some garlicky sauce though.

Good angle. Great reflections. The Silver Surfer lives.

A really nice, frosty set. As for feedback, as a rule of thumb (but not gospel), a landscape aspect tends to suit landscapes more. That's why #2 is my pick here. I'd like to see the first in a landscape format. It's a really good shot either way.

Great composition. I could sit there for hours. Never get tired of looking at a rough sea.

I find these sort of shots very poignant. Love to imagine the stories behind the buildings. I broke down in Death Valley once in a vintage Mustang.
