It showed a broken image last time. This is called Perrys monument in put in bay at Lake Erie I told colm I had some Lake erie photos from the Ohio side of lake erie and this one got an A in my online photography class I thought Id try something a little different when I took it I like trying to see things from all different perspectives, Im not real successful at it all the time but sure is fun trying. Any tips or help with my photos are always welcome

Oh I think this is fantastic!! You can really feel how tall this is. The lines and the background really are terrific.. What online photography class did you take? I am looking into all kinds of classes and would love to maybe add one more to my list.. Leigh

Tammy I think this is great. The vertical lines draw you right to the top of the monument and the lighting is superb. It's funny tho', it looks like a 3D rendering...:) I know it's not... This is great as a stand alone photo but you could also use this as a cool backdrop for a portrait montage in Photoshop too. Well done, Colm...

it does have that surreal look about it, as if the object isn't real or made from a program. good picture.

Thanks I used a circular polarizer filter on it and the sky is a bit bluer than it was actually that day so that may be the reason it kind of looks like a 3d rendering it is 3d just real life 3d :) The monument elevator was broken down and we didnt get to ride to the top so I had to photograph the top. But its a real tower maybe Im posting the wrong images? just trying to get some past ones that are different and got a good grade in the class to kind of introduce myself. Leigh the class I am taking is www.photoshoot.net I have enjoyed it so far I still need to finish it but hate winter so Im waiting for spring.

Tammy... No way is it the 'wrong' image... It's a great image. You just post whatever photographs you like. This forum is about all and everything photographic. I love diversity and things that are different. I would be very pleased if that photo was mine. Colm...
