Inciteful, stunning, brilliant, masterful.
Thank you for bringing it to us.
Peter Del: On my monitor these wonderful rock formations look flat and lifeless. I looked at them in Elements and adjusted the levels, then they look splendid. Perhaps the photographer should study the work of the Westons, to see super tonality. All IMHO, of course (or my monitor is on the blink!
quietrich. Your comment is interesting in that as I only see dull pictures, there must be something wrong with my monitor. I will have to increase its contrast as I don't, at the moment, feel like replacing it. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your rude replies. I can't post pictures in the news section, so I have posted a reply in the Open Forum

Curves, curves, curves and more curves. The only interesting curves are in the 'Finished Challenges' in the column on the right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scioptic balls were part of a popular pastime in the 18th century. They consisted of a wooden sphere with a hole through its centre mounted in a wooden frame such that it could be moved. Fitted to a window shutter, telescopes and microscopes could be attached.
Predating this was the camera obscura, which ranged from a hole in a window shutter making an upside down view of the outside to small portable versions which enabled artists to trace a scene which was projected on to a ground glass.
She is beautiful, so is the photo.
Impressive shot of a wonderful landscape and an intrepid mountaineer.
This is my first camera, which I still have

but none of my subsequent ones.
Albert Valentino: These are rather lackluster portraits. Many of the subjects look like they are exhausted, half asleep, or could care less.
I agree, but this lack of joy is now commonplace. If the subject smiles, it isn't art!
sportyaccordy: Looks great, but no landscapes?
My thoughts entirely.
Peter Del: The D80 was my first digital camera, having come from a couple of Minolta film cameras. Then I bought an Olympus E-M5 mk1, and my back was so grateful!
No, you might just use a camera body to takes photographs, but I like to put a lens on it. The difference is noticeable.

Peiasdf, I suppose you get a kick out of being rude.

Very interesting, because I've long been under the impression that the digital camera was invented by Steven Sasson.
Wonderful, a worthy winner.
A sad reflection on Americans' obsession with guns.
The first three are wonderful.
I hope all the plastic is recycled!
Peter Del: Beautiful, sophisticated image that looks partly drawn; though I've no idea how you did that.
Thanks valenttin, the penny has dropped, noise has been added in ACR.
