This is a thread with a purpose of getting some of your shots out there; whether you want to show off, find out if a picture is interesting or not, receive general comments/critiques or just to show us where the world of photographic adventures is taking you or has taken you, post 'em in here. Limit it to one per day or else it'll end up just being a flood of pictures with no real input, and please include your equipment to prevent the usual gear follow-up questions later.
There are *plenty* of equipment discussions in this forum already, so please keep the discussion in this thread to the pictures and artistic/technical evaluations of the pictures. Be critical if you must, but don't be mean or degrading about it; at the same time, I'm sure everyone will appreciate honesty, so if a shot doesn't work for you, say it!

 cheers, scott
I like it Scott, but I am totally distracted by the arch in the background. I'm not one to edit others pictures, but might i suggest a crop that takes the sky out entirely? keeping just the bridge down in the frame?

I can see where you're coming from, particularly since you can't really tell that The Arch is an arch, so it doesn't really tie in with the archways in the bridge itself. I hadn't noticed that until now because "the Arch" is such an omnipresent fact in my life.
I've got a slightly different shot that crops out the sky, but also takes out the roadway. Since this is a one-shot-a-day thread...

the length is the least of your worries. You centre framed the car and then tried to save it by doing a "wide screen" crop
Problem started when you centre framed the car. That just pigeonholed you in terms of composition. Can't even do shit if you wanted to recompose it via cropping.
Limerock isn't hard to photograph. Tons of greenery for environment, a bridge to use for leading or exiting and my favourite armco barriers.

past midnight, guess I can get this out of the way for the rest of tomorrow 
did a creative with a new stylist and a new model last week. Coming home I didn't think I had anything since the styling wasn't exactly my cup of tea and the model was a bit too stiff and didn't know her angles. But I think I learned something out of it. At least she was skinny enough I didn't have to do any liquifying in post. Same can't be said of the chick I shot 2 days ago

I have tried:
fotolia.com
shutterstock.com
123rf.com
dreamstime.com
I only have stuff up on 123rf and dreamstime...the other two have basically rejected everything I have submitted to them. Rejection is tough, but a good learning device.

I would like to add that I'm making it a goal to get on with the bigger sites like Getty and UPI for editorial stuff, and I'm working on getting a press photographer's credential for Capitol Hill, but I think the photo gallery is on break, so waiting to hear back on what they say.
