I greatly appreciate the compliment and for taking the time to view. :-)

Yeah, an odd place for street graffiti... ;-)

Thanks for the kind words :-)

I appreciate the kind words. :-)

From a recent, classics-like, annual bike race in Milan, Michigan.

Cat1/2 racers braved the pouring rain, muddy, gravel roads and 25 mph

winds.

Felt weird having a camera in hand again. Figured since I wasn't crazy enough to ride in this one, I'd try to shoot it. Combine two passions. Maybe I've finally found my niche. ;-)

Good hearing from you my old friend!

I think I've become bored with "traditional" photography and perhaps this is whats causing my recent lack of interest. I may try more of this creativity and see if it catches on.

Thank you Sidsel!

Thank you again. Your visits and comments are always appreciated.

I'm driven by details. Maybe to a fault. Sometimes the scene gets lost in the details, but in those details is where i find true beauty. Good to hear from you. I hope all is well. :-)

Always good to hear from you! Guess I can never get away from here permanently. I enjoy sharing my photos. Just need to make them more often. :-)

Beautiful Ross! Makes me wish I was there.

I really appreciate the honest feedback.

Jeff, I understand your point about light and shadow and I do try to balance them realistically in my photography. To me, this image is a more accurate representation of the actual scene than film or single frame digital. Often, I see the opposite. Unrealistic scenes lit artificially, or selective lightening and darkening of the photograph in PP. There are more ways to create depth and to isolate a subject than just light or an overbearing vignette.

Thanks for the comment!

My story here is more about texture and color than about a "tree". More abstract. I appreciate the comment! Take care.

HDR tends to get a bad rap on this site. Part of the reason I don't

come around much anymore. Personally, I love the texture and detail

that comes out in the process. Your thoughts are welcome.

I appreciate the feedback

It's just a flood of beautiful greens and I love it.

How are things? Hope you had a great 4th!

I often suffer from the anguish that my camera frame just isn't big enough..... sometimes I just want to take the whole world in. :-)

Another in my series on Mighty Mac. Despite my kids tugging on me to

leave....I really enjoyed getting a chance to shoot the bridge. I've

wanted to for a long time. Thanks so much for taking the time to view.

Thanks again for the generous remarks!

Thanks so much for the kind words! To be more clear, this is a single frame tone mapped image. A multiple frame HDR treatment wasn't necessary due to the limited tonal range. So you are correct in that regard. As far as tone-mapping, I love the look of it and the details that come out. So that is a personal preference. Thanks for the comments!
