That is a sweet composition...

Thank you Jim. I originally started out with the tripod about 30 foot back, thinking I'd frame the scene with the inside of the picnic pavilion I was standing under. I didn't like that composition and kept moving the tripod forward 10 foot at a time until the pavilion was no longer in the scene at all.

My Dad played the Clarinet as a young man, and stopped playing when he started working full time. Upon retirement, he picked up the instrument again. His new Clarinet teacher told him that the single most important thing to strive for, is a beautiful tone: "Almost any piece of music sounds good, if played with a lovely tone".

Yeah, Ken, and you play your instrument with love too.

And I have to thank you for one think too, for providing the quadtone profiles. I tweaked a bit with one of them and use it to tone the images. I'm very thankful for that.

Colin,

But yet another great demonstration of your brilliant photography skills. You continue to amaze me. The first one really reminds me of some parts of the North Shore in Hawaii. I had to make sure it wasn't taken there bofore I made this post. As for the second one great work! I totally have to agree with Ken Lee on this one.

Thanks Ken and Brian. Brian, sorry I forgot to mention the top one is from the Washington coast, about 30 miles south of Forks.

You are most welcome, Jiri !

Have you tried the newer method, based on the Fill feature ?

Ken, no I have not (although I have noticed it on your site some time ago). I don't feel the need, since the quadtone workflow does exactly what I want at the moment.

I always work in 16bit greyscale, do all the modifications and treating on this. I save it as JPEG2000, which allows for 16bit greyscale/48bit color and even can include saved selections (PSD is much larger files, although it's lossless). I only [quad]tone the final image, and after toning, I convert the image to RGB. If I need, I tweak the colors a bit afterward, but I prefer for all my photos to be toned the same (or at least the ones that go together), obviously...

But I'll try your new method too...

This is a 4x5 Provia 100F transparency through a 150mmm Nikkor lens I exposed last fall above US395 just south of the June Lake Loop junction with Mount Woods, Lewis, and Gibbs, in the background. This is a somewhat side backlit image in the afternoon that I scurried about to this spot above the highway I'd noticed beforehand as a curving highway section on the topographic map but never actually climbed up to. Driving north, I noticed the fine clouds rising over these Sierra Crest peaks and knew it was time to check out the spot
