Great composition and metering.

Thank you. This is actually a photo of the final carbon print made with four digital negatives from the 4x5 image. Calvin Grier in Valencia, Spain is the printer. I would highly recommend him if you want to learn Carbon Printing.

One of my favorites that I've seen of yours--I think you won't worry about the crop once you print it big.

At any rate, if we're having a "sharp things where they don't belong" contest, back on the farm I managed to step on a honey locust thorn while wearing sneakers--which then broke off flush with the sole. Made for a longish walk back up the hill for a pocketknife and a pair of pliers...

Ouch! Thanks.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

Panoral,

I second Chassis' description of this image as beautiful. In addition, the green of spring says the land is new again, while the tree and the animals are a reminder that its history is ancient. A nice double message.

Thank you very much. This photo was taken in a spring morning.

I take it the background is far away and much lower than where you are? My brain is jumping back and forth between that and a patch of dirt just beyond the place you are standing. Good to see your work again Joe.

Steve;

Yes, the background is over 100 feet lower than the foreground. I used some forward tilt on the Intrepid, the bottom of the image is only a few feet from the tripod legs.

Got around to printing this image from a couple weeks ago, and also toned it in thiourea. Here's a cell phone pic of it - printed on Ilford MGIV Glossy to 11x14 size, matted to 16x20:
