Some of my photography (dial up warning ) (updated pg2)
Inspired by J's thread, I figured I would post some of my photos here. All the photos link to larger versions and the rest of my stuff.
An eagle roosting for the winter.
A ball I found in my backyard.
A mystery flower I found in Thailand. Does anyone know what it is?
A bird showing that you can take closeups of animals. (With a 300mm lense )
Some more flowers from Thailand
Bullseye!
A dancing chef.
A small sculpture of a lion outside the Forbidden City.
This one was pure luck.
A protester realizing that the cops were serious when they said that they were going to arrest her.
Some more protestors on AIDs day outside the White House
A homeless lady outside the Capitol. Only later after taking the picture did I notice that her shoes were under the bench. I thought that she had none!
Sunset on the Tidal basin in D.C.
A homeless man outside the White House.

How HUEG is the ball?
I LOVE that Mystery Flower. The color, the lighting, the semi-subdued tone of it - not too fuzzy and warm, but clearly not too sharp either.
That arrested protester chick looks hot

I want to say the ball was maybe a foot in diameter?
The flower actually looks like that because I did what is called the orton effect to it. Basically you overlay 2 light versions of the picture over one another and blur the top layer. If you click on the picture, there should be a link to the original, unprocessed picture. You can learn about the effect here.
And yea, alot of my protestor pictures, mainly the oneswith chicks seem to have made rounds on some groups on flickr that like arrested chicks.

Because thats how I found it in my basement? The other darts have the US flag on them.

Unknown Flower looks like a Snowblossom.

Heh. The first picture in the OP... For some reason I keep hearing a comical Jersey accent: "The fuck you lookin' at?!"
Nice photography.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Thanks! Yea, we get alot of eagles around my school during the winter, so assuming you don't spook them it's fairly easy to get pictures of them. If you go here and tell me which ones you like, I can clean them up and throw a hi-res up for your backgrounds
No bikes.... blah.
I think I've already made it known which eagle pic I would like to see larger and better, but just in case, the first one posted in the OP.
