I like the blues and the wispy clouds. Nice.

Wow - I like this picture - I like the way the tree stands giving depth to the background.

You might want to straighten the it though. And also might look good as a B&W ?

Thanks Riyazi, I totally missed that leveling thing, thanks for pointing it out. Not sure I like the resulting crop though.

Did you use a polariser?

Kenny - not sure I like the crop either - especially since you have over-straightened and it is now lopsided the other way :) I straightened your org pic and it came out ok - you might want to try again using the org pic

Ummm, you know, I paid all this money for this camera and the damn thing can't even get the horizon straight! :) :)

Anyway, I think it is straight now, I worked from the original full size and adjusted it based on the farm buildings and power poles in the background. That still doesn't mean that it might not "feel" straight.

What I don't like about the crop is that it feel too crowded now around the tree. :(

I'm going to go back through these tonight. I think this image was the best of the batch, but I will recheck that may be another that works better.

Thanks Again!

I really like the sky in this piece too. Nice job did you use a polarizing filter on this shot.

Thanks Sam, I love this lens (16-35L II) but am still getting used to it a bit.

You posted this one while I was asleep. Excellent shot. What is that, an Oak? You would just have to wonder, how the heck did an acorn make it out there? :)

I suck at identifying trees so I really don't know, don't think it's an Oak tree though. The acorns came the same way as everything else, Wagon Train! I believe the Smoky Hill Trail may have been in this area which is also within a couple of miles of where the continental "commercial" transcontinental railroads joined.

:) Never knew you were going to learn so much did you? :)
