Perfect.

Somehow you made this antiquated station seem like a botanical garden, perfectly in sync with its curated botanicals.  Really wonderful coloring.

What a gorgeous interpretation of a waterfall.

Awesome. It looks like a Durer etching simplified to make a classic postage stamp.

So beautiful. Even better than if I had seen it with my own eyes. Thanks.

I admired the equanimity of the balanced components in this frame,

including the way the different trees have minimal destructive overlap

and the way that the leaves seem to be in completely independent

seasons. What do you think please?

Gosh, the lighting is absolutely stunning. And the contrast of colors between the dog and the environment catapults the image from the everyday to a virtuality of extremes and apparitions.

Aileen,

 

There was no post-processing, and I was using Fuji Velvia 100. It usually does have a bluish cast, in my experience, but only when there is already a dominant blue in the scene, so far as I can tell. I remember the hemlock foliage exactly as depicted, though the moss on the left might have actually been a more saturated green -- an artifact, perhaps of having to overexpose that outcrop to meter on the canyon. Thanks for your question and consideration.

Such gorgeous images all over your portfolio. It really is one of the most interesting portfolios I've seen recently. I think I might have one or two pictures you might possibly like but after seeing yours, I wonder if I've gone far enough into pure aesthetics.

Beautiful portrait. Reminds me of many eccentric people I know and is nevertheless unique.

Thanks, Bill, for taking the time to provide such a nice articulation of your preference. I do like the suggestion. I actually shot it in B & W also, but wasn't as lucky with the cloud formation. My preference is for the color, in part because I am a sucker for the slight ruddy tone of the tree tendrils against the polarized green. Still, I value your comment very much. Thank you.

"Nature gives it glimpses only to those / Not in a position to look to close." I love the lush lighting.

Nice. Bolts of wood fabric in the wind. I have never been to Slot Canyon and look forward to it.

Monumental.

I like this a lot. Great look, great ceiling and posture. If you don't mind a suggestion, I want the face to occupy more of the frame, maybe just closer and tilted slightly up? Or not, it's good the way you have it too.

Monumental.

I don't usually comment on this kind of thing but here you have a great one -- real art.

I love it. Reminds me of Greenland.

Fun.

That's pretty good. I could see it in an art book. All it needs is an intriguing caption like, "From a Series of Naked Meteorologists," or "Rembrandt Revisited."

Zoinks. That is great. I'm glad to not live either life depicted.

I love it. A Statue of Liberty in Pants.

The slight wide-angle distortion catapults the image into an imaginary world, were gentle dustings of snow under perfect skies emanate their own light. Very beautiful.

That's a very pleasing view. It's almost alive.

I also shot this from further away but genuinely liked the detail

better in this one. It seems dreamlike to me.
