Thanks, Jack. Also Bob S, Christine, Frank, John, Joseph, Ken and
Marnie. Comments much appreciated.
Ken....
BTW I use my 300 all the time for landscapes.
Yes, I have to overcome my tendency to always reach for a wide angle
lens for landscapes.
Geo Lepp coined the phrase 'optical extraction' for this.
John....
And in the U.S. version of the English language, "barbecued snags" would
be?
Very well cooked sausages of fairly ordinary quality and of unknown
composition (sometimes ignorance is a blessing) :-)>
A vertical composition could work if you wanted to emphasize the
foreground reflection of the trees. I might try something like that.
I looked at several ways to crop the original but no vertical crop
seemed to provide the 'balance' to the scene that the horizontal crop
achieved.
Bob S....
Nice. Did your original have more water or sky?
No sky - just equal amounts of trees and lake and it really didn't work
well.
Cheers
Brian

Having done your considerable part, obviously, the 80~320 certainly
performed well. Crisp image, with heavy crop, shot at 140mm.
Like it, Brian!
