Re: PESO - Pairs
Hi! Taken in Monument Valley of some of the vegetation. Due to the unusually wet spring, I suspect that there were more greenery and flowers than would be normal in the valley. Pentax *istD, A 70-210/4, handheld ISO 200, 1/1000 sec @ f/5.6 Converted from Raw using Capture One LE http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/monumentvalley_0508.htm I should say that after your magnificent landscape, this image looks rather, well, ordinary... Nice capture nonetheless... Personally, I like the original version the most... Boris
Re: PESO - Pairs
Hello Herb, I'm listening...Can you tell me some of the ways in which you can make money? Mostly stock, or are there other venues as well? Certainly was enjoyable on this last trip - it was really geared for photos rather than just site seeing with some grabs. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, July 28, 2005, 4:06:38 PM, you wrote: HC> you know, Bruce, you might not be able to make as much money as a landscape HC> and nature photographer, but the hours are easier and there's a lot less HC> stress.

Re: PESO - Pairs
Bruce, I do like your more "open" cropping on the left (right sides are 'prox the same). I cropped slightly more on the left to off-set the (my) feeling of a tipping to the left. I don't care for the OOF lower base tangle and I needed to take down the top so as to feel comfortable with its balance. I did an absolutely minimal bumping of contrast to help separate the blossoms from the background. No saturation increase.

Bruce: Well worth the time it took to make the changes! Jim Based upon Jack's cropping to remove the partial bloom and Paul's comment, I have cloned it out and present it here. http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/monumentvalley_0508a.htm I prefer this to the crop that Jack did as it just felt a bit too tight for me. -- Best regards, Bruce

Must have been the wet spring, as this type of wildflower was all over in Arches, Monument Valley and most everywhere else in that dry climate. -- Bruce Thursday, July 28, 2005, 11:53:40 AM, you wrote: pcn> Excellent. pcn> I haven't been to Monument Valley in quite a few years, but pcn> I don't recall seeing any wildflowers there.

Re: PESO - Pairs
Excellent. I haven't been to Monument Valley in quite a few years, but I don't recall seeing any wildflowers there. I would guess it was a wet spring, as it was in most of the southwest.

Very nice. But I find that one lonely bud on the left that's half out of frame to be quite disturbing. Half a minute with the clone tool could solve that problem.

Re: PESO - Pairs
Hi Jack ... the removal of the "orphan" blossom does improve the pic a bit, but it also changes its context. I think both work, although I do go back and forth between which is preferable. The additional saturation and contrast doesn't work for me. The photo seems to want a softer, more delicate look. Also, the more saturated look that so many photogs are using these days has become tiresome. Others will most certainly disagree.

Bruce, I took the liberty of 'simplifying' this image. Juiced the contrast a tiny bit, also. What do you think?
