I found the image that goes between #24725 and #24797 -- Vincent was asking about one with less reds but still a burst of sun. Shot at local dog park which overlooks the Rocky Mountains.
Much thanks to all of you guys... all so helpful and full of great, constructive comments. Altaf, I will take your suggestion to heart and take a look at the projects list. Watch out, I'm going deeper... *grin* Thanks again, and Dave, thanks for the great idea of London Drugs. If the scanner doesn't come at X-mas, I'll either buy it myself or try London Drugs. Cool idea.
I think I will add my voice to the chorus about seeing you improve, any quick glance through the portfolio really shows how far you have come. I'll try to suggest one thing, try to do some of the projects and pass up the pretty picture for one with more personal meaning; you may be surprised what you end up with.
Over the year I have noticed the same thing as Vincent, dramatic improvement. The main consistent weakness in your shots has been purely technical, in relation to your scanner. If a new one doesn't come through this christmas, consider getting individual slides scanned. For $4.00 at London drugs you can get a scan of a slide done with professional quality. I would like to see some of your waterfall shots reposted with technical expertise matching your creative skills.
This one is much better in my opinion. The array of colors really adds to the image. For some reason it even appears less grainy than I remember the other one being. Your photography is really progressing and progressing and.....
