    I'm a 'contrasty' kinda guy but of all these, I really dig #3 the best. thumb.gif
    I also like the 'peek-a-boo' effect of #4. :D


    I'm not real sure about the 1st two, I'm perched on the fence here and I *think*, for me, its a dof issue.... More, less,,,, I dunno...... ne_nau.gif But the image does SCREAM a seasonal change and one knows that nothing but twigs will soon be only seen.

    But I'm still on the fence....

    #3 -- almost didn't include that one. Thought it was a "I like only" kind of photo rolleyes1.gif

    Peek-a-boo effect...I like that terminology for that photo. It came out really close to that effect when I took it so I just removed some stems and called it done.

    Completely understand your thoughts on the first two. I was really having some issues taking those. Knew what I wanted, but had a hard time getting there :D

    Hi Don --

    Glad you liked that one. It was a pretty sight when I took it...photo doesn't do what I saw justice.

    Yes I do have some buffalo photos, but can't display them yet. Need to get permission to put them on my site since they can be bought on there. I posted some of the white buffalo from last winter. Think I pulled those off the thread too.
