Thanks for feedback and it was interesting to read. I cannot see any blown-out highlights on my screen. But I agree with you on the other comments you made. Regarding my picture, I think it's too dark. This is already pointed out by a few members here.

I don't much care for either image. I like yours better, but neither is all that wonderful. It took me a long time carefully looking at a magnified section of the images to make out what is in the jumble of boulders in the foreground; for some time I thought I was seeing blown-out highlights of sun-lit boulders. Then I realized it was blown-out highlights of snow-covered boulders. You have three areas of the images screaming for attention: the foreground boulders, the midground water and hillsides, and the fog above. And oh by the way the lone tree in the middle. Because of the tonality, the three areas compete for my attention rather than leading my eye from one to another. Which is largely why I prefer yours; with less boulder foreground, you have less competition from that area and the other elements have an easier time fighting with one another. I think both images would be much improved if the boulder field was in focus and if the exposure were adjusted so that the snow cover on the boulders looked like snow. I also think that this is a very tough scene to capture because of the wide EV range and the complexity of the scene. And returning to your main point, again I don't see what you are referring to as noise in his image. I didn't find anything in focus, and there seems to be some camera movement, but I don't see noise. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
