Boy, just four years and your work looks like that of a lifelong expert. Great stuff! Gives me hope that I might not be a total noob for too long. :)

Alex, thanks for that. Hopefully i can help a few people manage to not fall in any of the holes I've stumbled into. I believe I have found them all at this point :)

That's it?  What was your back ground prior to picking up a camera?  Your photos look like someone with 15-20 years experience.  One of the parts I struggle with and it looks like you have mastered is the photoshop side of things!  Man, where do you find the time?
