But may I suggest a couple of things. Minor nit-picking. ;-) 1/ I think a slight crop off the bottom to just take the lake? or river? off. Just come into the land mass very slightly to clean the bottom off. It also will give you a cleaner base line rather than the shore line against the hills. I know this sounds a bit nit picking but I think because it's a slightly lighter area at the bottom against the darkness of the rolling hills, it actually takes away from the sunlit trees. Which by the way, was well worth shooting as it once more points up the value of understanding and appreciating light quality for a successful picture. 2. Now this is something you'd have to play with slightly to see how effective it might be. And that's to increase the contrast to make the sunlit trees pop out more. Or possibly a slight burning in to just lift them away from the mountains more so. But I'd play with the contrast to see what happens. Sometimes the screen doesn't show the print at it's best quality. Other than that it's very well done and I could see it as a fine-art print on the wall of office, home or gallery. :-) Good on you! :-) ted. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
