Nice recursion, Vivek!

Thanks, Mitch.

Nels, now that is the ultimate recursion picture! BTW, I obviously really pushed the

contrast in my zebra photo, which really has a long tonality, to get an echo of the zebra's

stripes in the light and dark area of the grass and also to express the sometimes blinding

brightness of the light that casts deep shadows.

<p>

Someone on LUF adjusted the contrast which made for the "prettier" picture below, but to

me the high contrast version says a lot more; but perhaps I'm too influenced by the

photography of Moriyama Daido. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

<p>

Here's the lower contrast version from the LUF:

You certainly succeeded in doing that, Mitch. Reminds me of my days with re-spooled cine film and harsh Sunlight in India. This might workout alright on a large print. For this web sized presentation, it looks a bit harsh to me.

Mitch, I like the result in your original post with high contrast. I cannot see the second pic in my browser - just an empty box.<p>

Here's another from me that might fit the bill.<p>

And another...<p>

Perhaps this too...?<p>

Vivek, yes, I'll have to wait until I make a print to decide on the final contrast of this picture:

generally, for judging the darkest tones, even with the best soft-proofing, I find that it's

better to look at a print than an image on the monitor.

I really like the pic of the boats and tall ships . . . but it would be much nicer with a caption!

Nels, you really have a great "eye" for photography.
