I usually love this type of picture, but there were two things that really distracted my attention. First, the uneven sky...probably due to uneven development. Really distracting since a clear sky such as this should very evenly toned. The second thing is all of the dust specks visible when you view the picture in either medium or large format. Photo-editing software is readly available. You can always download a free one like GIMP. If you are going to post pictures to the public, you really should clean them up.

Sorry to sound so negative. I think there are many positive things about the picture. You were sensitive enough to realize that this was a fine subject. Not always easy to do. The picture also has excellent tonality.

The uneven development and dust are both more technical problems. You seem to have a good eye.

Tumbling Run consists of a small mountain stream running down a steep

glen. A very special place with quite a lot of personal history for

me.

While exploring one of the above-ground cemeteries in New Orleans, I

found a collection of broken pieces along the side of one of the

larger tombs. Probably placed there until they could be repaired.

A blustery spring day... This is one of those pictures that asked to

be taken while I was busy looking for something a little different.

Once I saw the contact sheet, I was glad I did.
