I love the pose, and the relaxed and confident attitude in your first photo. Very nice work on that one. And I like the scale on your Cape Cod photo - your placement of your son give a very nice sense of the space in that seashore area.

We get up to the Cashiers, NC area a few times a year, and love hiking in the mountains there, South Carolina and Georgia, too. It's a beautiful part of the county - I'm envious that you get to be there year round.

Many thanks for the great set of photos. How are you enjoying your 7D?

Wonderful shots. I like the third one for some reason...not sure why, because they're all good.

I am with you on the mountains, I live near the Rocky Mtn Front and 3 other Mtn ranges all within 20 mins. Great shots, prefer the 1st 2. TFS and HNY.

I love this camera... I waited and seriously considered the 5D ii for the full frame.. As you may see from my other post I shoot sports, landscapes, and a mix of other things.. For sports I needed the 8 FPS and the 1.6x crop is a plus. The new autofocus works wonderfully.

i shoot most of my non sports shots below ISO 400 and this camera delivers.
