Room With A View (View Larger)

what appeals most to me here is the mere subtlety with which you handled this. In my book that would stand for a very very good. I mean, what tones, what composition, what light but it still needs to be brought together and worked out.

I'm a little confused! Did you mean that I still need to pull it all together or I did just that. Either way, thanks for your comment.

sorry for me not being clear. What I wanted to say was it can all be there but it still needs to be brought together in a fine image like this. That you did.

Wonderful composition, and even more wonderful title! Superb work! Cheers! Chris

Gotta go with the Bear..Great compostion and oh, nice view! Can't believe the number of shots that all of us got at this one great location. Kudos to the Bear for getting us there...Lefty

The last in the Ryan Ranch ruin set from Joshua Tree National Park. My

buddies Chris Harris, Ray Banfield and myself headed out to this ranch

ruin around 4:30 PM and the sun was already nearing the horizon. Chris

and I had scouted the area early in the day with the hopes of a good

sunset image with Headstone Rock. Ryan Ranch was to be fill time

while we waited for the setting sun. Well the Headstone image never

materialized but some of our most exciting images came from this ruin.

Beautiful composition and fine light / shadows play. Best regards.

Excellent Eye! Really like the lighting, lines, contrast and tones... Well Composed and Quite Beautiful!!!

Beautiful capture and nice tone. Narration of the history is making it more interesting. Regards.

Great DOF and Dynamic range... I just wonder if there are any tricks to simplify the high dynamic range like in this photo?... Thanks for sharing... Regards...

No, the range of this image was easily contained within a single RAW image file. Thanks for your comment.
