Re: GESO: Fall Colors in Washington
Thank you Don. My favorite as well. The more panoistic of the two is a crop from a wider angle shot, same position. It is unusual to see a photo op while still a half mile away, but I did. When I found a place to turn off and walk up to the intersection, I was delighted. Hope all of those who view it are too.

Re: GESO: Fall Colors in Washington
I concur with Don and give the nod to Sunset in the forest: beautiful. Given your simple criteria, you won't do much better than Flickr. Especially if you intend to make any use of the organizing features (like sets collections) or the social networking (groups, contacts, comments). 500px is cooler but very weak on both those points so I've bailed. At the free level Flickr will only display your latest 200 shots to others, but that won't be a restriction to you for a while. :-) The Pro level is $25 per year, so it's damned cheap. Lifts all the restrictions and gets you statistics. There are noises from Yahoo that they are going to be spending more money and time on Flickr, but who knows. I think Tumblr is an alternative (of sorts), but there's more work involved than Flickr. All the other good ones want some money (SmugMug, etc.).

Re: GESO: Fall Colors in Washington
I agree with Don. I like the Sunset in the Forest, best. I might have cropped some of the sky, keeping enough to continue the horizontal lines of the composition. Just a little too much white for me as it is presented. I really like the rim lighting on the trees. Ted The eye of the viewer becomes the eye of the Photographer.

Re: GESO: Fall Colors in Washington
Thanks for your comments, Ted, and Bruce. Just spent an hour or so perusing the gazillion things I can set to keep a leash on my images, see what I can and cannot do, etc.. Seems like a reasonable site for showing to the PDMLr's what my eyes see, and whether the camera agrees or disagrees. Set my licensing up to Attribution, non-commercial, share-alike. As has been discussed before, don't mean a hill o'beans if some want to do as they please. I'd have to be at the dentist or doctors to have a good chance of spotting any. :) On Oct 24, 2012, at 15:32 , Bruce Walker wrote: I concur with Don and give the nod to Sunset in the forest: beautiful.

Re: GESO: Fall Colors in Washington
A nice set. I'll go with sunset in the forest as top pic, but I also like wall in fall very much. Good work. Pul On Oct 24, 2012, at 6:05 PM, Joseph McAllister pentax...@mac.com wrote: Thank you Don.
