    Thanks, Bob! The play between the late afternoon light and the misty mountains that day was an awesome sight to behold. I'm just glad I was ready with a camera. :D

    Thanks, Rob! You know, I had the same thought about this image's three-dimensionality. I'm glad someone else agrees with me...make me feel less crazy. :D

    Thanks, Doug! The Olympics are such a beautiful sight to behold, especially when the right light is on them. I'm happy you enjoyed this shot. :D

    Sweet light indeed. The red tugboat brings the image together nicely.

    Really nice photo!

    Thank you! I was glad to see that beautiful light on the Olympics, but when the tugboat came by, I was in heaven...I knew the shot would be good from a compositional standpoint too.

    Thanks, Ron! A little bit of haze (ahem...I mean fog) can do wonders for photography and diffusion of light, as you already know. :D

    Thanks, Jack! These scenes aren't so unusual in Seattle. The light I was able to capture may be, but tugboats are a dime a dozen. Still, I love they way they look. :D

    Thanks, Chris! It's funny you should say that, as I have a close up of just the tugboat and one of just the mountains and the lovely light. :D

    Thank you very much, Ray! How is good old Don doing? I remember the last time I spoke to him, he was giving up his day job and becoming a professional nature photographer. I'm sure that's going really well, given his immense talent. Please give him my regards also.

    Very nice as is!clap.gif

    But tempting...

    ... go more silvery

    ... or go more punch...

    It's somewhere betwixt and between.

    If it were mine I'd play and play some more. I think it has a surprise waiting to be discovered.

    I love this one! Very nice lighting in the mountains.
    I've always wanted to try getting some kind of similar shot with the mountains as a backdrop. What focal length was this taken at?

    Thanks for the poetic critique, Neil! You may have something there. I tried your suggestions and I liked the silvery effect. I still prefer the original but you gave me some nice ideas. Thanks! :D

    Thanks! The dynamic range was tricky here, but that's why God invented bracketing. :D

    Thanks, Danny! I always had something like this in mind, and the conditions that day were just perfect. This was shot at 330mm (429mm equivalent).
