Re: PESO: Weed, Stone, Sun Water
Again, thanks to all who took the time to look comment. Seems this one either needs more PP'ing, or I have to go back and have another crack at it sometime. Given that this was taken on a scouting trip, I know which way I'm leaning.

Nice. Just enough detail in the weeds to see them.

Re: PESO: Weed, Stone, Sun Water
I'm not wild about multiple exposures when they're used to achieve a surreal effect, although there can be situations where that kind of image is appropriate. But when the technique is used to extend the dynamic range of the camera to more closely approximate the eye I find that it's most often a plus, sometimes a game saver.

Always good to reply to yourself. It is interesting to note that several have commented on the foreground being murky. On my monitor it is dark, but just fine - no murkiness - I can see the details. Now my monitor is calibrated and I don't know about any others. It is not uncommon for some people to comment on various pictures being too dark. I just wonder if it is mostly a monitor thing, or more of a preference of what the image should look like. -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, November 30, 2007, 8:13:07 AM, you wrote: BD aa.my head has righted itself.

Re: PESO: Weed, Stone, Sun Water
You somehow need to open up the foreground a little. It looks like an interesting texture, but is a bit too dark on my monitor.
