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

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. -- Walt On

Thank you, Igor. I fiddled with the horizon in LR, but when I did, it still seemed a little off to me. Part of it has to do with the earth having been a bit more built-up along the right-hand side of the image compared to the area at the left. As for the colors, I guess that's just a quirk

Walt, That's a nice and vibrant image. I love the light and dark colors together. Take a look at the tall double tree with a bit of white trunk showing high up. Vertical will be a line going thru the trunk reflections in the lake and trunk in the sky. Looks to me like you are still a bit off when

Thanks, Bob. I see exactly what you're talking about, now. Unfortunately, when I try to align that vertical, it really emphasizes the slope of the land and makes the horizon look even more off-kilter to my eye. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/10406179033/#large Maybe it's just

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
