No discernible browser havoc, but there were some really great images.

Thanks for sharing!

Hell, use the 'distort' tool in Photoshop. Then you can get the
horizontals horizontal and the verticals vertical.

Or just enjoy the image for what it is.

Personally I'm not a strict advocate of the business of landscapes being
parallel/perpendicular to the base/ground. If it looks right, it *is* right !!

Prefer the other version. Your eye is right.

Thanks again, Cotty.

I'll likely never be a very good technical photographer. I seem to shoot 
much more with my gut than my brain. That's not to say I shouldn't use 
both, and strive for technical improvement. But, my sense of aesthetics 
will always be dominant over my spatial perception.

I'd have to change the crop to a non-standard aspect ratio, but I could 
get a little bit more.


Still, the horizon-corrected version leaves the image more unbalanced to 
my eye -- to the point of physically tilting my head to the right.


Nevertheless, I do appreciate the suggestions. It'll give me food for 
thought the next time I set up shots of that type -- and maybe even 
cause me to consult the electronic level on the K-5!

Yep, - I think the vertical (and horizon) is proper now.
The slope of the land is not a problem. The axis of the symmetry is
now horizontal.

I see that the crop at the top and at the bottom (around the tallest
group of trees in the middle) became tighter now.
While it might be the result of the tilt, - but it seems to me
you would have more space along both edges remaining.
I would let a bit more air there.

That's very kind of you to say.

I'm fairly similar in that I love the vibrant colour and deep shadows.
One of my favourite photographers has a good excuse for producing the
images in his own sweet way: 'I simply make pictures that I like to look
at. If someone else likes them as well, too bad!' :-)

Just keep doing what you're doing bro

It is a great catch!

However, two things disturb my eyes:
1. The (infamous) horizon, or rather vertical in this case is a bit
tilted CW: you can see that the subject and its reflection are not on the
same vertical line.
It is a small amount but sufficient for the eye to catch.

2. I don't know how it is on your screen, but on mine it seems
to be slightly oversaturated (or the contrast is too high).

Re: PESO: Lake on an Early Autumn Day

[Walt]

Many thanks, Bruce.

We're just now getting into that part of the season, here in Kentucky. 
It's nice to sleep with the windows open at night.


Though, I have to say, this summer was the most pleasant I can recall in 
all my years living here. I have to say, I'm going to miss it.

Thank you, Jack.

It wasn't quite the "golden hour", but the light was starting to get 
pretty nice. I would have stayed longer and waited it out, but I had

Re: PESO: Lake on an Early Autumn Day

[Walt]

Thanks, Dan.

I really wish I could get down to the other wildlife preserve this time 
of year. The lakes there are really beautiful at times, with lots of 
cypress trees jutting out of them. It's really too bad that they close 
the place down during the fall and winter months, but it stays flooded 
throughout most of that time of year, so I figure they don't have much 
choice. They'd be dragging people out of there every other day if they 
didn't.

Walt, your photography has a vibrancy and a 'life' that I don't often
see. Simply beautifully observed and presented.

I'm loving the vivid colours.


Thank you very much, Cotty! I consider that high praise coming from you.

I've always been, and will likely always remain, a sucker for vibrant 
colors and deep shadows in images. And, for good or ill -- depending on 
personal tastes, I suppose -- that shows up in my photos. So, I find it 
especially gratifying when someone with your skill and experience sees 
some appeal in my work.


Thanks again.

Re: PESO: Lake on an Early Autumn Day

Walt,

It is a great catch!

However, two things disturb my eyes: 
1. The (infamous) horizon, or rather vertical in this case is a bit
tilted CW: you can see that the subject and its reflection are not on the 
same vertical line.
It is a small amount but sufficient for the eye to catch.

2. I don't know how it is on your screen, but on mine it seems 
to be slightly oversaturated (or the contrast is too high).
