A new friend I recently met shared these photos when we discovered both of us shared an interest in photography. I hope you enjoy seeing these as I have.

Hi Samantha, These are nice shots. Oil is a big part of Texas and I think the third shot is just a spectacular capture of working in the oil field. Very well done and I am sure that shot could be used commercially.

Those oil pumps looking like huge grasshoppers feeding.

Very nice photos, Sam. They brought back memories of an uncle who started out as a wildcatter in the Texas oil fields.

Afraid I don't get the point of posting stock photos that someone else shot + it's against Gallery policy:

Really good work. The first shows the beauty of a sunrise it that part of the country while the second shows the sparseness and flatness of oil country in general. The third gives us the insight into the fact it's not easy work. A good story in pictures.

Samantha, I have to agree with Linda. I saw these when you first posted and didn't comment on them because I read what you said about them not being yours. It isn't appropriate to post them here. Besides, it would be much more rewarding for you, as a photographer, to get positive comments on you own shots rather than work that belongs to someone else.

And I agree with Linda and Carol.
