taken at the gristmill at Cade's Cove. I removed a second person from

the doorway and a disembodied arm protruding from the window. Hope

you can forgive that tinkering. Your thoughts are most appreciated

(although your 3's only provide more questions).

i imagine the color/effect is a creative choice, and it works ok, but one thing you definitely should consider fixing is the rotation. about 2 degrees clockwise should help.

perhaps the most interesting thing in doerun, georgia. your

thoughts please.

your thoughts are appreciated.

your thoughts please.

i recognized this spot instantly! lucky native americans... they had quite a view, didn't they? you did a great job exposing this one, the shadowy foreground gave me a lot of trouble. thanks for sharing.

Mark, i have two thoughts. One, I'd like to see a little more space between the top of the building and the horizon, as well as a little more space between the top of the highest mountain and the edge of the frame. Two, if you apply a slight warming filter, it might help. Nothing wrong with the image as-is, though. I love these kinds of scenes, and this makes me want to head back to colorado!

spotted in the small town of Doerun, Ga. Your thoughts are appreciated.

OK, they're not really "pets", but it was the most appropriatecategory, I thought. And they seemed pretty friendly--they probablywouldn't have minded if I had brought them home.

 

Yourthoughts are appreciated.

thanks mike. i've recently become attracted to brick walls, after finding a few interesting ones recently.

thanks for your time and comments.

anything?

your thoughts are all appreciated.

saeed, this is a great shot that immediately drew my attention. only one suggestion: i'd try using the "skew" function in PS to straighten up the vertical line on the left... just pull the bottom left corner out a bit.

your thoughts are appreciated.

your thoughts are appreciated.

Also consider the full-color version in my fla. folder. Does the

selective desaturation work here? i'm not always a fan of it. your

thoughts are most appreciated.

Maybe that's why they're always smiling?

chris, i can see from your bio that you manage a camera store... so if a 5d ever "falls off the back of the truck" you be sure and let me know, ok?

hello jeffrey... you're right. i know a lot more about PS than i did a year ago... maybe it's time to blow the dust off that corner of my hard drive, and take another look at this image. I think i can do better. thanks, -d.

the range of color you captured here is fantastic... and everything is so crisp. good job.

it might need a 1 or 2 degree rotation clockwise--or maybe my eyes are deceiving me. these cavern shots can be very disorienting. beautiful shot!

only one small quibble-- get rid of that branch at the top right. otherwise a great shot.

i can only tell you something you already know... the water color is amazing!

chris, do you have a grad nd filter? one could have helped here, bringing down the highlights in the sky while keeping the sand a bit lighter. what a great sunset!
