Week 32--Mountain Meadow---Hiking, not much else this week so week 32 is not in my usual vein--but it offered a chance to use a few PP approaches I have been wanting to try. Wildflowers in the Cascades are wonderful this year.

I fall in love with this place through this image......

Nicely composed and edited.

A byway in Seattle

Beautiful composition, colour and sharpness

[Shadowman]

Week 33, really does it for me, would love to see the same composition at dusk but probably not as safe a time to photograph.

#33 is looking "crunchy", i.e. over-processed. I suspect you'll get a more pleasing image by dialing things back just a bit.

Now that I look at #32, I have the same reaction as well and these are image that are fairly small.

A good image; a theme well suited for portrait mode....

Re: 33 looking crunchy--I agree--this was after I broke my Coolpix and is taken with my Pixel 2. I limited the image size in post because at normal size it was really not good! 32 was taken with my coolpix and was a significant crop.

Soon I will have a new pocket camera and will, hopefully, not see this issue as often

A small amount of blur and possible lowering the contrast as well will reduce the "crunchiness" in an image. It's something I use in my own workflow if I get too aggressive in my post-processing.

Yes--that really helps! Thanks for taking the time to give me your redo.

So beautiful....

Week 35--Chairs--This week has been dominated by my husband's knee surgery (2nd one). So of course I took my camera to the hospital and prowled around while he was under the knife. Both of us were successful!

I am glad you husband's treatment went well, Judith.

In an ideal world the wood might have a little more grain, but this is a well seen image with excellent colour.

[joebranko]

Well seen. Wishing your husband a successful recovery

[Manfred M]

Nicely seen and captured Judith. A classic example of repeating patterns.

Hopefully your husband's knee surgery recovery goes well/

Week 36: The Blue Line--wandering around while Husband is at PT. Saw lots of things--see my Flickr feed for other images.

Week 36, nicely framed and the caption got a chuckle as a reminder of the Rowan Atkinson show "Thin Blue Line", although nothing in the image reflects anything to do with the show's plot.

My titles often have cultural references but I had forgotten about that show. Thanks for the reminder.
