. . . I think you'd really enjoy MOGAMBO. Lots of interesting, eye opening wildlife.

i don't like most of those photo.net pictures because they are so blatantly photoshoped that it cheapens the image. many of them are visually striking, for a moment, but a closer inspection reveals zero meaning in the iconography. it's like looking at a cartoon rather than a photograph. however, the portrait from june 18 is gorgeous, and the june 25 is cool too.

Some of them are very good, especially the phones that have no or very little computer-assisted modifications. Personally, I'm all about shooting in film without any Adjustment of the photograph at all save for cropping. I rather show off my photography skills than my Photoshop skills.

This morning I took a walk through town. I just bought a new camera. It can do auto exposure bracketing, so I also experimented with High Dynamic Range pictures. The latest ship in the fleet:

Photoshop and Photography are not mutually exclusive.
