I see you have a 27 inch Mac mate, nice machine. I have 24 inch Mac, they're great computers for photography. I've had mine for 2 years now & never had any problems with it. Thanks also for you're kind words about my image, I always appreciate your feedback. Cheers........Edwin.

This is taken at Cades Cove in the Great Smokey Mountain national Park while on vacation last week. I used a D90 with 70-300mm f13 1/250 iso 200. This is my first post of a landscape. I'm happy with my composition but struggled with colors and the haze. They don't call them the Smokies for nothing. I wanted a sharper DOF but the longer the exp. the haze got worse. All comments are welcome.

Ashwin, not all are dishonest, but most are, from what I've observed over my years on Terra Firma.
Cheers.......Edwin.

I agree!

how couldn't I??
at least they change their opinion as the wind changes his direction...

You did look at levels of course, didn't you? It is greenish as well, but actually I like it for that reason. It reminds me of the Fuji film colors of the past a bit.

Nice. One thing I didn't like . I was trying to get the dust spots off my monitor until I found out that they were imbedded in the photograph. Any reason for that? The camera, intentional?

[Letrow]

Antonio, this is the same tree, but with a wider view of it. Note; white frame for black or perhaps grey wall I must say that I appreciate this coloured version more than the black & white, in my humble opinion.
Cheers.....Edwin.

I agree with Edwin, I like the colour version better than the B&W. I like B&W a lot, especially for people and cityscapes, but here it doesn't work for me.

Thank you Randy for posting here
I think that most of the times, when we can't solve the problem one way we have to try the other way around and take advantage of what is offered.
What do I mean by this ? I mean, if you can't fight your enemy, just join him Well, not exactly, but almost this. If you were having problems about the haze and couldn't overcome the problem then, use it as an advantage to the work you do.
This is valid in most circumstances. Not all of course but I hope you get the idea.
However, if you really want something whatever it is, then you have to fight for it. A little of the so called "good sense" (sound practical judgment) is quite useful sometimes.
About your image. The pole and the barbered wire are not perhaps the best object for a foreground I am afraid But the mountains at the far end are very nice

[Antonio Correia]

Sorry but this time I placed a very annoying water mark on the photo...

It was so disgusting that I changed the image for this one.

there are no dust spots on this picture, think you didn clean your monitor enough

I love this, too, of course! Did you use the "spiderwebby, old photo" looking texture over this one? Maybe, that's what Peter's talking about. I did just clean my screen because the boys had the computer, yesterday, and sneezed all over it (hay fever...)! Whatever! I really like it!

[Vandenberg]

everyone thinks (at least some here on this forum does) that i fake the bokeh and do a lot of tweaks on my photo's
sooc from the bike, offcours i added the scratches and dust later

[Katy Noelle]

Oh, Vandenberg, let me be bold and say that I don't think people think that, at all. At least, most people (like 99% can see your mastery of dof and light). I think that I, personally, like your photography well enough that I'm trying to pull it apart to see what you did. I hope that you don't mind that I've asked, quite a bit! I've just been thinking about it, though. I really want to emulate your style but I don't want to copy. I've had this conundrum before - which part is just that I think similarly and which part is that I got the idea for a photograph from you? Hopefully, because you're you and I'm me, it will just have to come out differently. I hope that you weren't offended by my comments.

[Vandenberg]

I was not talking about you katy
offcours I don't mind that you asked something, kinda like it if people ask me something
im not so talkative on this or any other forum, i notice that people don't like that

Very nice image Antonio, what does the coloured version look like?
Cheers..........Edwin.

I agree with everything you say Peter & thanks for your feedback.

This is in colour Edwin Look at the Moon on right and the one on the left... I was trying to immolate the natural colour I saw then

Peter, thanks for your comments

Nice work Vandenberg As usual. And if you faked your bokeh what would be the problem if the results are so excellent and greatly appreciated ?
You have done one great achievement: you do have a style and as I told you before, that is great
