    Thank you Jack. I liked my shots a lot more before I looked at the others in here. I would really like to see what a real photographer could do with those views I had.

    Merry Christmas,

    Very nice, we were granted a rare opportunity here in the PNW and I also feel like I wasted it.

    Welcome! Another PNW natural here. I spent a few years south, in Banks, OR, but mostly Olympia and North these days. I really like the compo-sit-ion of the bench in the last one. I may have made a few minor personal tweaks myself, but I like it.

    Al - I really like your shot of the orchard. Very nice. I'm with you though, and wish I could have another chance to do it over. I took my pics in mid-afternoon. I would like to try again at sunset. Too late now though.

    leaforte - Thanks for the comments. I agree the photos could be greatly improved. I would like to try again, using a tripod and shooting later in the day with some longer exposures. I think that would help but not sure. Just getting started with my dslr. I haven't ventured into photoshop yet. I have PS Elements and it seems a bit overwhelming at first glance but I'm looking forward to spending some time learning it.

    Thanks again for your comments. Merry Christmas.
