Hmmm...There is certainly more separation between formations, which is a good thing. It's not so much the blue tint, but around each formation it sort of looks like an artificial mist rather than an even haze/mist over the entire scene.
Perhaps we are fussing over an image that is never going to make the grade. Godfrey took a stab at it and didn't have much luck. Although I'm hoping he will further expound on his exposure findings - with seeing the raw histograms, I am hoping there is something new for me to learn. Jack, I do appreciate you taking some time working on the image. Part of it I like better and parts not as well. -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, August 5, 2005, 5:44:05 AM, you wrote: JD> Bruce, JD> I deleted a bunch of earlier posts, including yours.
