Thanks Christine. Yeah, the horizontal level is a bit off. I fiddled with it too much, I think I should have left it as it came out of the camera. stan On Apr 28, 2013, at 8:55 AM, Christine Aguila wrote: > That's excellent, Stan! Great mood and light and color--the blue really > works here.

Thanks, Rick. Yes, it is a bit harsh. The flowers that are accessible tend to be those in the brightest light. I just processed this quickly, and, as you suggest, I need to process it a bit. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sun, Apr 28, 2013 at 7:40 AM, Rick Wom

Rob, How did you get so close to the heron?  Great shot, though those birds really do look better at a distance! I like the bicycle shot; well spotted. The large dark mass in the industrial shot detracts, I think.  Is there any detail that can be salvaged? Cheers, Rick   http://photo.net/pho

I like it, Dan, but the light is a bit harsh, and parts of the flower (especially in the center) look blown out.  Did you shoot in RAW so that you can recover some highlights? Cheers, Rick   http://photo.net/photos/RickW - Original Message - From: Daniel J. Matyola To: Pentax-Discuss

Lovely detail in the heron. The industrial one so-so. The bike is out of this world - it looks as though it's from another dimension. A very interesting composition and light. B On 28 Apr 2013, at 06:03, Rob Studdert wrote: > Hi Team, > > I have been busy recently, on top of school holidays
