Bruce, I took the liberty of 'simplifying' this image. Juiced the contrast a tiny bit, also. What do you think? Jack http://photolightimages.com/aspupload/detail.asp?ID=72 --- Bruce Dayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Taken in Monument Valley of some of the vegetation. Due to the unusually wet

Hi Jack ... the removal of the orphan blossom does improve the pic a bit, but it also changes its context. I think both work, although I do go back and forth between which is preferable. The additional saturation and contrast doesn't work for me. The photo seems to want a softer, more delicate

Very nice. But I find that one lonely bud on the left that's half out of frame to be quite disturbing. Half a minute with the clone tool could solve that problem. Thanks for all the Monument Valley pics I've enjoyed them. Paul Taken in Monument Valley of some of the vegetation. Due to the

Based upon Jack's cropping to remove the partial bloom and Paul's comment, I have cloned it out and present it here. http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/monumentvalley_0508a.htm I prefer this to the crop that Jack did as it just felt a bit too tight for me. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, July

Excellent. I haven't been to Monument Valley in quite a few years, but I don't recall seeing any wildflowers there. I would guess it was a wet spring, as it was in most of the southwest. Paul Based upon Jack's cropping to remove the partial bloom and Paul's comment, I have cloned it out

Must have been the wet spring, as this type of wildflower was all over in Arches, Monument Valley and most everywhere else in that dry climate. -- Bruce Thursday, July 28, 2005, 11:53:40 AM, you wrote: pcn Excellent. pcn I haven't been to Monument Valley in quite a few years, but pcn I don't

Bruce, I do like your more open cropping on the left (right sides are 'prox the same). I cropped slightly more on the left to off-set the (my) feeling of a tipping to the left. I don't care for the OOF lower base tangle and I needed to take down the top so as to feel comfortable with its balance.

you know, Bruce, you might not be able to make as much money as a landscape and nature photographer, but the hours are easier and there's a lot less stress. Herb - Original Message - From: Bruce Dayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005

Hello Herb, I'm listening...Can you tell me some of the ways in which you can make money? Mostly stock, or are there other venues as well? Certainly was enjoyable on this last trip - it was really geared for photos rather than just site seeing with some grabs. -- Best regards, Bruce

Hi! Taken in Monument Valley of some of the vegetation. Due to the unusually wet spring, I suspect that there were more greenery and flowers than would be normal in the valley. Pentax *istD, A 70-210/4, handheld ISO 200, 1/1000 sec @ f/5.6 Converted from Raw using Capture One LE
