Nice photos all. Still inspiring! Came across this hawk the other day at Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge. It was cold enough--just above zero--that it didn't want to move:
Shot this last winter in the Wadi Rum in the middle of the Jordanian desert. I had climbed up on a rock to get a good vantage point. There's a very famous National Geographic image that does this much better than mine, but I was pleased overall with the length of the shadows. D90 | 24-70 | 70mm | f/6.3 | 1/1000s | ISO 400
with Nikon S31. I know very grainy...I was under a dock with bad light and water clarity was poor. It was what I could pull out of the picture being jpeg.
When I was 20, my friend took a picture of me sitting on that roof ball from this point of view. Only when I arrived at the top did I see that one of the two bolts holding the rusty ladder was gone and the second did not have even half of the iron left. Going back down was among the scariest things I have done. This pipe was bringing water from a fall to an electric power plan, closed in the 1930's. This tower was regulating the water fluctuations.

Thanks, more to come, possibly...

Note, there is only a 1 hour time limit to get the detail in the shingles. Any other time of the day you need a polarizer and it still is burned out so post processing is required. No post processing on this image.
