Hi, Dan, Can't help you in the "how to improve these shots" category. As I discovered at GFM, I'm a woefully mediocre landscape guy. I like these, though. Each has an interesting perspective on what is obviously an beautiful part of the world. My only criticism is that the sky is washed out in each of them - as I said commenting on someone else's landscape last week, maybe it was a grey day, and there was nothing that could be done about it. And, I guess with a little digital p&s, filters before the fact (ie: on the lens as opposed to in photoshop) aren't an option. Beautiful photos, in any event. thanks, frank ===== "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J.
