When my mother was young and lived in Hyde Park near the shore, the stones were piled along the quarried stone was piled along the shore in disarray. that would have been the late twenties. I think they were arranged into neat steps some time in the thirties. It may have been a WPA project.

Something that might be worth a try is to crop it somewhere near to the crack in the wall on the left, and just to the right of the sun on the right. I'd also consider trimming a bit more off the bottom. I'd say that the drawing and the sun are the main elements, and I'd trim away most of the rest. > > I didn't mind the blue in the 1st one, but boy, I think Doug offers an > excellent suggestion, which I think improves it. > > So, big thanks everyone.

- Original Message - From: "Jack Davis" Subject: Re: PESO Egyptian on the Rocks Still #2. ;) Truth be told, Jack, I like #2 also, but I thought the subject allowed for some playful rendering, and like Bob W. hinted at, I thought of Indiana Jones, but given the fact that I've always had the hots for Harrison Ford, I'm surprised I didn't render the pic warmer the 1st go round. :-) Cheers, Christine -- 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.

Re: PESO Egyptian on the Rocks
G'day Christine Nice subject. I think the first rendering but, like Larry, I find it a bit too blue particularly on the foreground and the rocks on the left. The B&W is nice too.

On my crappy work monitor, I'd say somewhere between the first and the second.
