My OCD Kicked In

Hi Tom thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate your taking the time.

Personally I like to leave colours as seen. If the sun goes a bit under a cloud or the angle of the shot changes the sky colour, so be it. However given a choice, I must confess that I favour the richer clear blue skies.

By the way, I almost didn’t include the shot you liked better because I didn’t really like the sky tone in it. But que sera sera.

Like 'em a lot, Ian. Of course, the pines add a bit for me.
Tom's comments did give me pause to reflect. Sky color and its intensity in my shots has at times been a concern. But usually just move on- how can you go wrong with a clear blue sky, right?

Hey Rog, thanks. I wait for days with blue skies so I like to show them. Mind you, I’m not big on a bird in a blue sky with nothing else; if at all possible I try to get something else in the frame - trees, or some other piece of landscape - like trees with a ton of cones .
