    Thanks Chris - just shows how different people view the same scene. I must admit I was not sure whether it would be viewed as boring or not. For reference, here's the view looking the other way. Some waders would have been useful to get beyond the very end !

    How about Bonzer image mate [AUSSIE SPEAK FOR SPECTACULAR] for all you other colonials. It would look even more bonzer if you could put a border around it George.

    Thank you George for posting here this nice image

    You have captured a nice symmetry. However, I would like best to see more leaves in the foreground. I don't know your opinion about it but I always like to place something in the foreground to create more depth in the image.

    Curiously in this particular image I agree with Chris. Here the foot steps are so many and the gravel is so "marked" that the impact is smaller and rather agreeable because it is homogeneous if I make myself understand. (I hope)
    Here also the curved lines help the eye on the reading of the image.
    As a side note I would suggest you to clone the slight vignetting on the top corners. But that is just a small problem.
    And thank you again for posting here Mike

    @ChrisC: Thanks for your comment!

    @Edwin: Thanks, mate! I'll look into adding a border.

    @Antonio: Thanks, Antonio! I'll keep your advice in mind regarding creation of depth in a landscape.

    This seemed like such a good shot when I took it, but I was disappointed when I got it on a full screen. After putting a fair amount of photoshop into it, I think it works. Corrections include; a gradient in the sky, shading correction to the foreground, localized sharpening and brightening of the mid-photo flowers, and taking out four telephone poles on the far shore. I now like the shot as a screen image. So far, I have not been able to make it into a decent print. It comes out too bronzy.

    This one confounded me a bit, too. The squigely tidal stream was a great subject but the as-shot photos didn't have any snap. I worked on this one in RAW and then a bunch of layers in photoshop. I was able to improve the coloring significantly.

    Antonio - thanks again for the comments. I knew the vignetting was there but posted anyway as I just wanted to show the opposite view. I removed it from my first picture.
    I don't normally see vignetting at 18mm but I had a CPL filter as well as the usual UV filter and lens hood and that's what caused it. I only noticed once I looked at the results at home.

    Thank you Homer for posting here two nice images
    I do like best the second one which is fact quite interesting. There is "something" in the foreground and the S curves of the stream lead our eyes to the far end of the frame.
    I do like the canvas and the way you placed the legend. Very creative
    Looking again perhaps you could darken a bit the sky...

    Antonio, that tidal brook is quite a thing. I went back at the end of my day out shooting to have another look; low tide and flat light! No reason to even get the camera out. I tried to bring up the clouds that are in the sky of this shot, but that area of image is nearly blown out and further enhancements became badly distorted. Thanks for your comments.

    John, that shot is much prettier than I remember Oklahoma! However I lived in Altas....that may explain it.

    Thank you John. Very nice panorama
    Perhaps if you clone the tree on the left...

    Re: Landscapes

    Are you suggesting remove the small, bright branch in the bottom left corner with the cloning tool?

    I am suggesting you clone the branch on the left which surpasses the horizon and yes that bright one also

    It is a very dramatic image

    Right on.....I see what ya mean. So the color from the sun continues through the frame. I will mess around with that. Since I have joined CiC, I have went on my facebook account and deleted several pics and now I only let about 3 of every 40-50 shots escape the recycle bin. I'm really learning alot quickly it seems, and mostly from CiC and suggested links. Very Cool!

    Re: Landscapes

    Made it out to the beach this morning to help a friend learn the intricacies of his new D7000. I know the folks up north are cold but it is a much dryer cold than we get..our cold drives clean through to your bones because of the higher humidity. Today was about 45 degrees F with a 25-30 mph wind blowing up out of the southwest...froze my skinny little buns off, I did, I did. But, got some decent pics...
