The result: Not a single image has those highlights, nor do they seem to be recoverable by any manipulation in the Raw converter or Photoshop. Still this image has a bit of interest. Well I like it anyway. http://home.earthlink.net/~morephotos/PESO%20--%20beachgrass.html Equipment: Pentax *ist-Ds/smc Pentax F 70-210mm f3.8-5.6 Additional Bonus Rant: This image also shows the hazards of resizing for the web. The Pentax F 70-210 is very sharp and captures more detail than the 6mp sensor in the *ist-D[x] cameras can record, yet in the web photo everything looks a bit blurred. True there was a bit of wind moving the grass, but some was stationary and very sharp in the full size image, here none of it is. As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored. =============== It's pleasant, Peter. With nice spacing and lines.
