Great landscape shots, but the non-BW shots seem oversaturated to me.

I think you are correct. I probably need to tone it down a bit.

thanks

Great shots and yes nice B&W. This is funny. Were you standing beside me at one time? Vegas with my 50D.

I have made my decision. Don't confuse me with the facts.

Could be..

On the walk-way across the street to the NY NY, next to the escalator.

Actually, I like your shot better.

thanks! I had tried to create a few black and whites last year and nobody liked them. I decided to take the suggestions and not make the same mistakes this year. I did 90% of the work in RAW

I agree! super..

Don't think it is over saturated.. personally I love the colors!
Sometimes it even looks like its a bit chill outside.. winter in the desert?

thanks. Yes, it was very cold for Las Vegas and Southern California in December.

I took a couple of shots up at about 5,000 feet at daybreak VERY cold! These

The Rainbow shot was taken north of Edwards AFB in California just after a strong storm with 50 MPH wind gusts on Christmas day.

The rest are taken in Lone Pine, California. Cows are not nearly as scenic as the horses in Ansel Adam's Winter Sunrise photo of the same place, but it was about the best I could do.

Very nice shots, both B&W and color. I think the saturation works well in the color shots. The Southwest of the US is a pretty spectacular place, with very rich colors.

I prefer the saturated colors. They look much better than the ones I took in 2003 with my Canon G1! :> ) Progress marches on. Just think how digital cameras have improved in the last 5 years. Also, the 50d doesn't cost much more than the G1 did. If you include the cost of living, the 50d is cheaper!

I think the landscape shots are just stunning. The saturation just grabs you, great job...I gotta give this a try.
