Yes Doug, you're right. I really like Kenneth Waller's photo, "Bentonite Hills." It's a great example of how a long lense can make a captivating photo out of a somewhat oridinary scene. The compression is the thing. The scene may be somewhat ordinary in a normal perspective, but the compacted image that Kenneth created is captivating and beautiful. Great shot. Paul Stenquist
