"Near Saint Helen"

Been dying to go to Mount St. Helen this past week, but can't do. So

here's one from earlier this year to satisfy the appetite. Top

right, although tiny, is indeed Mount St. Helen (add steam and smoke

as needed.) ^_^

Great perspective Wilson.

The colors are awesome. I especially love the purple heart in the center. 7/7

hmmm... this photo has some spectacular colors. I wonder, however, if this shot would have been better if you had not cropped so heavily off the top. what bothers me is that so much space is given to the water, and so little to the shore on the other side and to the mountains.

Wonderful perspective view, hope you get to go soon!

Nice composition and use of space. Excellent control of exposure and depth of field as well! Congrats!

Another winner. The background, the foreground and everything in between are knockouts.

I like many, mnay photos yours. But this is so so beautiful. I saved in may computer, a lot of yours photos ( with the credits ), and they inspired me to paint water colors. Thank you for your sensibility. For your eyes. Sorry for my poor english. I don't have words to say.

I like the emphasis on the foreground and feel that's what makes this stand out over other landscape shots.

Thank you all so far for your kind feedback. Filip, I think I'll put up a version of what you described in near future. George, you are too kind, and your English is fine, BTW. ^_^

Ooohhh, "1 out of 7" (very bad) for originality, I'll eat it if elaboration is provided. "Now I'm sad and grumpy," said my 4-year-old nephew. ^_^

1 out of 7 for originality? Beginner! I am able to present a picture with ratings from 1-7 in both categories without any rating left between! :-))

My thoughts about the "Wilson style": Not the reality, emphasis on the visuable part which is worked out deeply impressive (Speciality: 3-dimensionality). Ah, and able to enlighten with dark photos! Right? RE

Superb image. All is perfect in it.

Dear Wilson. No doubt about this picture. It is grandiose. I think the '1' which is given for orginality must be given by accident. Till now I've never seen a more original way of showing a landscape. Best Regards, Ada 7/7

I think this photo very beautiful. I give you 7/7

bye Wilson, Flore.

Thank you all for your kind feedback. Appreciate them all. ^_^

Superb and different composition with wonderful colors.
