Thanks Boris. The height is just right for me so that I can view it without scrolling, on my macbook. Maybe I will have to go to the small/large method... but that won't be for a while. Russ On 4/13/07, Boris Liberman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Russel, there you go: 1) good, very good 2) not

It is big enough and bright enough for me. I think there is too much sky that has nothing in it. So I would crop it a bit differently. Take most of it off and go for a more square shot. With that kind of crop, I think it would be a pretty good photo. -- Bruce Wednesday, April 11, 2007,

Thanks Bill, Jack, Godders, Rick Markus, PJ and Bruce for your input. Several of you commented that it is rather flat. I actually did do that on purpose because, Rick you are correct, I was wanting it to be moody and dreary. However, I guess I went too far :) Here is a different take on it:

I think that's definitely a stronger photo. The square crop suits it well, the larger size and tonal edits make it more than the prior rendering. Good job! G On Apr 12, 2007, at 1:31 PM, Russell Kerstetter wrote: Thanks Bill, Jack, Godders, Rick Markus, PJ and Bruce for your input.

Thanks. This is actually the first crop I tried, but I decided that I wanted more sky and water. I do like the square, but I find myself looking up at the sky, and there is nothing there. Maybe I will have to print them and then we will see... Thanks for your input. Russ On 4/12/07, Godfrey

Thanks Bruce for your response, that is encouraging to me as I learn. I think my pictures sometimes lack a 'soul', so what I have been trying to do lately is really think about the feeling I want to capture instead of snapping away and then trying to clean up a mess later. Russ On 4/12/07, Bruce

Thanks Marnie, I one thing I struggled with in this was the contrast, I felt that too much gave it too much 'oomph' to let it still be moody, and I guess that too much 'do nothing sky' makes it just blah. Thanks for your input. Russ On 4/12/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a

Russell, I think you would be hard pressed to greatly change the existing image impression. Maybe a bit of cropping of the top, cloning out the structure peeking through the foliage on the right and giving it more definition with a contrast/saturation bump and, maybe, a touch of sharpening(???). I
