Very nice for handheld! I can never get decent images of the moon. There's nice contrast. I agree it's a little soft, but not bad. The tone is a little sepia looking which is unexpected as well.

Also one of my favorites. A 10 during the challenging and it's been in my favorites since the challenge. I like it for the exact same reason you do. It's just such a great expression on his face given all of the activity around him. Just fantastic. You can't plan moments lke this.

This is fantastic. The lighting and b&w converstion is well done. It's just a personal preference, but I always like extreme composition with silly faces like this. Like creating a lot of negative space on the left side of the image. But that's just a preference and it's a nice shot either way. The D300 is really allowing you little grain at ISO 1250.

Beautiful girl as well. Hang on to her! :)

Really opening my perspective up to some good uses of topaz. Another scene I wouldn't have expected to see turn out so well.
