Holy aperture, batman!
That's really, really good. Like, professional good. What is that, though? Looks like pollen sorta.

"I hate Manwe's posts because I hate babies and America." --Augustine2004, August 6, 2011
Then Morgoth turned upon Húrin, and he said: 'Fool, little among Men, and they are the least of all that speak! Have you seen the Valar, or measured the power of Manwë and Varda?
Do you know the reach of their thought? Or do you think, perhaps, that their thought is upon you, and that they may shield you from afar?'
'I know not,' said Húrin. 'Yet so it might be, if they willed. For the Elder King shall not be dethroned while Arda endures.'

Wow.

Re: show us your art
Nice pictures!
If you look at classic photography, you realize that in the final picture, composition and story are 9/10s of photography and all the other technical stuff is worth about a tenth.
Unfortunately, in the old days, it could take years to master that technical one-tenth. Fortunately, modern point-and-click cameras do a pretty good job on that technical tenth.
They don't, however, contribute anything to the other 9/10s; composition and story require a human. But you seem to be well on the way to mastering composition and story -- in other words, you're getting the really difficult stuff right.
My advice would be to continue practicing composition in the viewfinder, rather than cropping, etc., in the post-processing. It develops an eye for things. So much that I've heard of painters who carry an old film cameras no film, just to test composition.
Again, good work.
