Thanks, again, Rick. I Heuyed my monitor and found it a bit bright. I'm in a bright room at the moment, however, which has two good size north facing windows. In spite of that, I chose the Huey re-do. I thought about going back to the scene today and installing a polarizing filter, but it's very wi

Thanks, Bob! I didn't really check out what was going on with the gate. I only thought of the rusty metal and cable as being a help to the scene and I wasn't curious enough to climb the fence to investigate. Jack --- Bob Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jack, > Nice looking landscape. I wis

Hmm..I actually brightened it a tad due to its darkish appearance. My monitor has a habit of rendering somewhat dark. Gotta put the Huey to work. Thanks for comments. Jacl --- Rick Womer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Nice scene and composition, Jack. Methinks it would > have benefitted a lot fro

Jack, Nice looking landscape. I wish the poppies were a bit further along for color. What is that strange bit of fencing? Regards, Bob S. On Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 4:07 PM, Jack Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Took a drive a couple hours ago looking for spring. This is an example > of what's ha

Nice scene and composition, Jack. Methinks it would have benefitted a lot from a polarizer, though--the lighting is rather bright and harsh. Rick --- Jack Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Took a drive a couple hours ago looking for spring. > This is an example > of what's happening, weather w

Took a drive a couple hours ago looking for spring. This is an example of what's happening, weather wise, at the moment. Flowers are California Poppies (state flower) which hadn't felt the sun quite long enough to be fully open. Taken in the area of the Sutter Buttes which is recognized as "The Wor
