Photography thread - for Schoob

Schoob asked for people to post their photography in a thread.
I'm not a pro, but I take some good photos and I have a sincere passion for photography. Soon, I hope to learn more and take some great photos.
Since Schoob wants to see a thread about photography, here are some good ones that I took of Luray Caverns last weekend.
As you can imagine, it's tough to get good photos in a cave, but this is my favorite view of Dream Lake inside the caverns:

Here's the formation that I think looks like a little resting sherpa carrying his pack. Or, if you look at the back of the formation, it kind of looks like Vlad Dracul.

This is my favorite picture that I took of the Wishing Well:

Here's one of the ceiling of one of the caves:

And one of some contrasting stone:

Remember the rule of thirds and that you should in general keep your horizons straight.
using photoshop/gimp, put the one with the nice moon on the base layer. create a new layer and put the nice clouds pic on top of the other layer. use the eraser tool to erase the top layer where the moon is and maybe around it if the glare shows obviously. might have to work in some custom gradients to make it look somewhat natural. in the end, you get the top layer of the clouds with the nice-looking moon from the bottom layer.
note: i have never done this myself (my wife does the image processing), but i believe this is how she does it.
Schoobs, maybe I can get you some good ones at the beach this weekend.
