Bruce - You are completely right about the clouds, but I seem to be having trouble bringing them out - whenever I manage to, the contrast amongst the grasses in the foreground disappears. It's fairly irritating. If anyone is bored and wants to have a go at it, I've posted the original picture. It's somewhat washed out, so that may be part of my problem. Otherwise, it seems that the overwhelming (unanimous?) vote here is with the first one, so I will go along with that one. Thanks everyone who looked, and thanks for all the comments and advice. http://picasaweb.google.com/rg2pdml/PESO/photo?authkey=W1C-i05p28o#5103417145413381730 rg2 On 8/27/07, Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The first shot is better - both the flag and the overall composition. > I would try to rework it a bit to bring the sky out more - I can see > that there are some clouds that really want to be seen. > > -- > Bruce > > > Sunday, August 26, 2007, 9:59:03 PM, you wrote: > > R> I've been sorting through my film lately, and found a few pics I > R> liked.
