Thanks! I thought I had lost these slides, but I found them at the bottom of a box over Christmas.
I like that a lot, Chris; the focus looks absolutely spot on. What is the building at the top?Quote:

Great shot David. I gather the place is getting very busy these days.
I have a tighter shot from there too - mine's got a faint spider's web in the upper right corner of the scoop! It's linked here.
Jim, I also like your image. I wish the snow would stay here on the trees long enough for me to get a shot like that.
This is the first slot canyon photo that I ever liked.
Many of them say too much, include too much, and are thus too literal and tedious.
Yours has plenty to show, but still manages to employ understatement and innuendo.
Bravo Maestro !
Yes, that first one in particular is very good David.
Dear David,
Your images have a beautiful soft and colourful palette... :)
Well done.

This is another image from that day...

This one dances in the cold. I think it's the undulating fence. And the wavy willow branches.Quote:

My 2 cents:
Perhaps now we're up against the limits of monitors and web browsers, and how faithfully they render images.
In the first one, we see the subject from a slight distance. We regard it as we might admire a beautiful sculpture in a gallery, illuminated from above.
In the second image, we are almost inside the subject, so it's more intimate, even though it's also more sweeping. There are fewer visual cues for depth and size, so the image is more abstract. So there's an inherent "tension" between different factors. You might say it's a more challenging photo to make, because it's more dependent on... nuances.
