Re: Peso: Duck Soup
Thanks, Marnie! I like your word, rather. That's, also, about as emphatic as I can get about this image. I'll try punching it up a little. (if I can locate it in the trash bin). Not that you've indicated such, but this isn't a conversion. Just the way the day looked.

Well some time ago I posted a shot
that I considered something of a failure. I was
watching the scene that I wanted to capture come together in
the viewfinder, when a bystander leaned into the shot,
realized what he had done, and said Sorry. Well
something similar happened again. But this time the culprit
was one of Frank's Friends.

OK, if it weren't for the title I probably wouldn't have

I think you've missed the composition a bit there - it doesn't really cohere properly. Rather than cloning the thing out you might consider a different crop. I would start with a double square and place the horizon line right along the middle of the frame, then kind of muck around a bit until it felt right or I got bored.

It was much harder getting one that direction, no foreground elements. So I went back and looked at what I had and came up with this. Same basic shot, same basic direction, but in it the center it sort of rays out. What do you think? Better? Slightly better? http://www.mapphotography.com/PAWS/pages/duck2b.htm Perfect.

It is huge. Biggest wind farm in California I think. Not as many birds as there used to be . . . No coincidence, I fear. Yeah, I know. I've been reading about that. People protesting those big blades are taking out too many birds. Here in Britain the RSPB, which I think is the world's biggest birding organisation, is strongly in favour of wind farms. The threat to habitats globally, and therefore to the birds and other animals, is much greater than the threat from wind farms, and wind farms can be a significant factor in reducing dependence on fossil fuels and other major pollutants. OF course, the wind farms have to be planned properly, taking wildlife into account.

Re: PESO - Duck Train
If you stay with this composition I'd suggest cropping out most of the foreground water from just above the bottom of the grass on the LH side. It doesn't add a thing IMO. With that crop, my eye enters the image @ the LLH corner, follows the grass line to the URH edge, to the train, follows the train left to the base of the hill.
