2003 Grand River Elms

Nice shot, Len ... I like the simplicity! (By the way ... do you live in/near Fergus? I grew up in Buffalo, and am a little familiar with southern Ontario....)

Lou Ann, Thanks, I like simple. Sophisticated, complex, multitasking, gives me headaches:) I live about 2 hrs from here. Usually go for two or three days a year with fisherman brother-in-law who likes to close out the brown trout season. (end of Sep) Best, LM.

Simple and effective composition. I like the layered look to this. One tree wouldn't have worked as well, but this grouping does. Nice work!

Nicely composed LM. You know by now that I like color. But this one just calls out to be converted to B&W. Here is a quick version. Actually I like this both ways . Nice work!

Vincent, Before I post a photo I usually look at it an number of ways including B&W. I didn't do that with this one (too busy trying to dig out muted colours I guess) Who would have guessed it would be Mr. LSD pre-soak who dug out this B&W gem:) Thanks for the different viewpoint. Demonstrates the beauty of PN's diversity of experience. Best, LM.

I like original version. And i have one photo for you... :) Remember ... surf...

This is a realy nice and natural composition. i like the natural curv of the picture that leads to these trees that have a lot of character in this empty field.

Geez I'm late - VT suggested a B&W ? ........ !!

 

Merry Christmas Len ...

I like this in color. The contrast between green and blue makes the picture.

Ok Len ........ 3 more please ......... (-;

Len,

 

It is simple, elegant, unconfused. Very well done. I like the fact that you avoided centering the images.

Exquisite, Len. Your entire body of work is quite incredible.

I spotted these trees the year before but, under heavy overcast

conditions, decided against investing a frame or two. Now I wish I

had taken the shot. Would have been an interesting comparison.

Best, LM.

As of Oct. 2005 these dead elm trees no longer exist. I hear they succumbed to a windstorm earlier that year. Imagine the scene without them and you'll understand why I didn't bother trying for an updated shot. Best, LM.

Since I originally posted this one I got a film scanner & redid this post. Here are the results from the original negative via a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual ll. I think the original scan was a 1hr lab cheapie or a flatbed scan of an original 4x6 print. Best, LM
