Thanks, gents. Brian, I pass this fence 10 times a week, and have shot it dozens of times. I think two pics have been worth posting. Rick On Jan 31, 2015, at 3:40 PM, Brian Walters wrote: > Quoting Rick Womer : > >> On my way home from work last spring; another overlooked 2014 photo: >> >> h

That is a very effective image. I like the texture on the fence and the contrast between the dull colors of the fence and the bright yellow of the forsythia. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sat, Jan 31, 2015 at 9:57 AM, Rick Womer wrote: > On my way home from wo

Nice texture, it needs a bit more contrast, maybe a different effective B&W filter, it looks like the conversion was done with no filter. I think maybe green... [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I feel like saying, now on to the good stuff... someday I hope to get as > good shots out of the DS as I

I do like it, Marnie, and I think the background compliments it. Some of the left side posts are a bit hot on my monitor, which likely masks some of the grain and texture detail. Jack --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I feel like saying, now on to the good stuff... someday I hope to > get as >

The fence is interesting and very detailed (if a bit hot). But the background is distracting. You could clone out the background by replacing it with the vegetation directly behind the fence and on the mountain. Lots of work required to get it right, however. Paul Paul On Mar 4, 2007, at 6:35 PM

It is nice to see the earlier shots compared to the current one. You have improved. This last shot is much better than the first two attempts last year. Much better angle - focus is better, composition is better. Nice to see you haven't been idle. I have one question about this shot - it is a
