Here's a couple from me.

This one I took on my holiday in Portugal

And this one was taken by a friend of mine at my sons 1st birthday, but I've taken it into Photoshop and done some major airbrushing & touchup(He'd been eating Wotsits!!) and turned it into this

Wow you guys really have some incredible talents, I could only hope, wish and dream my little D40x and I could reach such beautiful abilities

The D40x is a capable camera and should let you do msot of the things you see here. Just use it a lot and you'll start making shots you love.

I like this particular shot a lot (critique on it would be appreciated here or on Flickr):

I like the colours, and the snowflakes are cute :)

toned?

Proving that good glass on a bad camera isn't as good as bad glass on a good sensor. Or not. :)

Based on the fact that this has a better lens (sort of), than my Holga, which has a plastic lens, but the Holga arguably has a better 'sensor' (usually Fujifilm Velvia 50). Maybe that's just a bad comparison. Who knows, either way, this thread needs a bit of cameraphone lovin' once in a while \o/

Thanks for the comments, and no, I do not do tone mapping or HDR (I think it is abused a lot and I kinda feel it's like cheating) so this is just the shot aided by good lighting and some minor Lightroom work.

No no, when I said toning, I didn't mean tonemapping or HDR - on those I agree with you. I was talking about toned highlights/shadows - split toning ;)

Nope, I did not touch the Split Toning options or the HSL/Color/Grayscale options.

This is one of the more interesting photos in this thread. Really good use of DOF.
