Just a few shots from a trip to Naples during the week of New Year's...

I really like the oil on water one. Especially the reflection of the branches. Beautiful.

The rest of them are wonderful, too. I really like the depth of field.

You said this in a thread. I'm looking at these images and I'm thinking you've got such a natural eye for composition. You do a fantastic job of isolating your subject regardless of the surroundings.

Thank you, both.

This was the first outing with my new Sigma 17-70mm macro lens. It took some getting used to, I snapped a lot of crap that day, lol, but I was pretty happy with these shots.

Those are great snaps, Mixed. I love all your stuff. I don't have a macro, I don't even have a digital SLR yet, but your photography makes me want to get both, and get out there taking pics.

I like the tree one, and the last one. I'm a bit of a sucker for B&W.

MM, those are great shots.

I really like the first one and the last two. The oil and water shot is fantastic.

You made good calls at the use of black and white although it isn't the harsh black and white. Those are my favorite types of photos after sepia toned.

It's always a surprise and a pleasure to find that other people see beauty in the same weird places that I do.

Thank you, everyone.

Great shots. Oil and water turned captivating, who'd of thunk it.
