All right, I have cleared out most of my average images and now I am going to post some of my more recent ones.

Orange flower:



Japanese maple tree:


I took this at the Portland Japanese Garden. If you do a Google Image search for "Japanese Maple", you will actually get many other photographs of this exact tree. It is very popular.

Tangled web:


Also taken at the garden. I made this into my banner.

Grizzly bear:



Flying in the sun:


Pollution sure makes for great sunsets, don't it? So does running, since that's why the birds were flying; I scared them away!

Sunflower with bees:



Stop:



Fence:



Peeking snail:



Up the tree:



Upper north falls:


Taken at Silver Creek Falls State Park, Oregon.

Energy:


Taken in my backyard, Oregon.

Surface:



Mushroom in the lawn:



Hanging spider:



Dandelion:



Rusty fence:



Leafy sidewalk:


I made this one into my banner too.

Leafy sky:



Dewy leaf:

Thanks for the comments. I was considering entering a couple of those into a fall photography contest happening here, but I am having a hard time deciding which ones are the best (I am naturally biased towards newer pics). I was going to do Dewy leaf for sure, and then either Sunflower with bees, Peeking snail, Up the tree, or Flying in the sun for the second one.

Wow, my favorite one out of all of these has to be Energy. It's really good looking and there isn't much else to describe it, really. I'm partially speechless. XD Also, Upper North Falls...wow. Amazing, man. You also have an amazing shot of that spider web. I remember trying to snap a pic of a spider web but you could barely see it. I guess that was 'cuz of my bad camera at the time. Good job, though. You have some really great shots in the thread!

wow your pictures are so good!

Here are some more recent ones:

Autumn street:



Gutter moss:



Sunny yard:



Orange suburbia:



Sundial:



Up another tree:



No trespassing:



Japanese maple in the sun:



I love autumn.

Japanese Maple is definitely the best out of the pack. Such warm colors. Would have liked Up Another Tree to be sharp at the bottom and progressively get blurrier; not the blurry vignette you have there. Otherwise it'd match the pattern of your previous photos: strong crisp focus on a subject, with loads of blur in the background. I will say though, some of the photos seemed too dark and blurred for me to identify them well.
