Maybe you should just unwind it a couple of twists and see the humor and not take life quite so seriously. Sorry, but someone had to say it.

Love these shots and would like to have been there myself.

Wow, magnificent pictures of a magnificent bird.

Talk about catching the moment. What did your shots from that position look like? I think sky maybe?

Very nice autumn pictures. Love the clouds in these as well as the colors.

Maybe it's just me, but in shots 2 and 4, it looks like the whole church is leaning to the left, and/or there's a lot of lense distortion, which as you undoubtedly know can be corrected with the perspective tool in Photoshop.
This is my first visit to this section and I really like what I see - so, I'll be back, with lot's of newbie questions. I hope I don't drive you all nuts.

Yep, it's just you. :D Seriously it was a matter of which vertical you wanted to make vertical. This is an old church which is far from square in its old age. My point of vertical reference in PP was the left corner of the church or the left of the steeple. I was using a 17-35mm lens and did not want to change the perspective this lens gave because I liked the perspective it gave. Kinda personal choice here. Thanks for looking and your comments.

Thank you all for the nice comments. I also prefer the second image. I just wish the fish had jumped closer to center frame, maybe on one of the 1/3 points. Here is another from not too far from Price Lake.

Nicely done and great dramatic sky. I might consider cropping some of the grass at the bottom to help the composition.But love that sky my man. Was this 5 shots?
Yes, I usually shoot 5 at 1 EV difference each. Will vary that from time to time but that is my normal settings.

These images were taken last month at Price Lake off the Blue Ridge Parkway of North Carolina. One of my favorite places to visit this time of year.

Lovely work. Second shot is phenomenal.Roof on the steeple shot is maybe just a little over cooked for my personal taste and could do with pulling back a little. Peeling paintwork and bell detail is superb.
Thanks for the feedback and kind words Billy. Here is a version with the roof toned down a bit.

This little church stands near Todd, NC. I am showing the +0EV exposure for each from a 5 exposure sequence taken 1 EV apart.
