Your image does a great job of conveying the impression of a hot day (whether or not that was the case!). As well, I like the way you arranged the clouds to look like a hand in the form of a "peace" sign . . . that must've taken a lot of blowing, on your part!

Maris,

Your image does a great job of conveying the impression of a hot day (whether or not that was the case!). As well, I like the way you arranged the clouds to look like a hand in the form of a "peace" sign . . . that must've taken a lot of blowing, on your part!

(BTW, I can help but "crop" off the foreground [by scrolling the image down to the bottom of my screen] every time I look
at this image ... looks great as a square!)

Beautiful image. Great sense of atmosphere and light.

thanks for the comment Joel. I am very impressed with your electronic albums, a good job. Sea Smoke, Ellingson Island just blew my mind, bravo!

Wow, very nice! The textural contrasts in this image are a good capture.
I love the image as you've presented it. I also looked at it cropped at 1/3rd below the top, and I like that wider composition too.

Thanks Christopher Nisperos. It was a hot day all right but the air-con in the company car was throwing icicles. I saw the trees and kept driving for another 30 kilometres before I had to do a u-turn and go back, set up the camera at the farmer's fence, and wait (and wait) for the best clouds. The old Schneider Symmar 300mm f5.6 + #25 filter was an unfamiliar combination and I was cautious about using too much rising front and ending up with dark top corners. A little less foreground would have been nice.

Maris, if you don't get 10 responses of praise to each image you post, it's probably because we're speechless. They're gorgeous, each and every one of them!

Such plaudits! Thank you, thank you.

what a wonderful and interesting place Maris. Well depicted. And I like how i see two kissing panthers.

I also feel like I am sitting behind the logs in the grass - there. =)
