Alright, I'll be bold and post two of mine. This was my first attempt at shooting landscapes, so I've got lots to work on.

Nice! I really like the slow shutter speed of the first one.

Nice shots! I really like the B&W, he's contemplating the drop, lol.
Please reduce and replace the ones over 700 wide.

Btw, everyone is welcome to start their own threads for their images :)

Sorry about the image size, I usually resize to 800 wide. Thanks for the complements on the pictures. Unfortunately I don't have many good action shots (too busy riding, no time for the camera).

I knew I should have hurried up and put my "copyright" insignia on those shots! ;) :)

That looks great. I think I see a few hobbitses creeping around.

Cool! How far are you from the park? If it was close, I'd be there all the time, lol. I've been once many years ago. Unbelievable.

Ever considered a shot like that in HDR (High Dynamic Range)?
One of the best at that is Pete Jackson, he's got a lot of HDR of Yosemite here: http://www.pbase.com/petejackson/yosemite_colours
This one is pretty insane IMHO:
http://www.pbase.com/petejackson/image/57001618

I'm just now getting into the process, PS makes it fairly "easy".

Here's a good tutorial on The Luminous Landscape.

We're about 2 hours away from Yosemite. We usually go 2 or 3 times a year. It's tough getting lots of shots with 2 screaming kids in the car though.

Those images are crazy! That's the first I'd heard of HDR. Looks like I may need to consider upgrading to CS from 7.0. Seems like a very interesting concept. I'm going to take a deeper look at the links you provided when I have a little time.
