RE: PESO: Trees in Fog
Thanks, Brian and all. Yes, we're very fortunate to live in a beautiful place- an island about on the West Coast of Canada. Took early retirement here about 2 years ago. It's quite a visual adjustment moving from the sub Arctic to this.

Yes, it should make a great print - nice muted colours of the trunks merging into the soft, misty background. You're lucky to have such a beautiful landscape so close to home.

Re: PESO - Trees in Fog
Yes, it is a totally different climate, isn't it? I remember working in San Francisco in July when it was 65 degrees during the day and 40 at night with constant light rain. Across the bay it was 80 in the daytime and 65 at night. I've heard that the warmest months in San Francisco are October and November. Is that true?

Re: PESO - Trees in Fog
Actually, Peter, I don't live in San Francisco. I live across the San Francisco Bay, in what is affectionately called the East Bay Hills. Often a totally different climate. FWIW, many of the homes in the East Bay Hills - in the Oakland area especially - were built as summer cottages by San Franciscans who wanted to get away from the oppressive summer fog in San Francisco.

Re: PESO - Trees in Fog
Hello Shel, What I like: The diagonal of the trees sloping down to the right. The fog What I would like to see bigger: Extreme right there appears to be some trees, perhaps and some more detail, but can't tell at this size Tree detail in general, in both near and far trees. It could be there, but hard to see at this size. My guess is that a bigger image would make me like it more - as it stands, it feels a bit more like a thumbnail - a reference or a teaser to see the real image. -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, April 23, 2006, 11:24:25 PM, you wrote: SB> Hi Bruce ...

Hi Bruce ... Your feelings then shall have to remain mixed ;-)) I like the smaller size, and, for me, that's part of the presentation. When I make a print, it will also be small ... I just like it that way. Now, you say your feelings are mixed, which, to me, indicates that there are things you like about the photo and things you don't care for. So, what don't you like and what do you like ... if you'd care to elaborate.

This one's all about subtle tonal variation. It looks surprisingly good on my screen. I'm guessing an old fashioned chemical print would look great.
