 I picked up Taylor after acting class and we went to the park. We'd been at the playground many, many times and today I noticed how old the slide was.

Sweet, Ken! Very Normal Rockwellian. Love the smooth, liquidy metal on the slide.

Hey...I didn't think there was any metal slide left around anymore. The shiny surface cool!

Cool shot. Very nicely composed. With those clouds it almost looks a little ominous.

I like this a lot. The shine on the slide, the blue on the ladder, the clouds all add up to a great shot.

Is this hand held? I presume so given the slowest shutter speed is 1/20. The colors are rich, and the reflection in the slide adds additional vibrance. This does not look overprocessed. Well done.

I'm impressed by the trees. I've yet to get a quality HDR image out of photomatix when trees or plants are involved. Please take a look at this image, Wildflowers and Clearing Storm, Santiago Canyon, California. Any suggestions in the Photomatix stage of PP to improve the foreground flowers?
