    Michael,

    The color and composition are very good and I get a nice feeling from the shot. If the branches could be sharper, this would be a killer shot. If it wasn't sharp to begin with, then I wouldn't spend any more time on it, but if what we're seeing is the result of added blur, then you might want to rework it. Dunno.

    Thank you Richard. Always appreciate your estimations and am pleased to hear them now.
    The branches were fairly unsharp as I recall, so I did fool with them / other in an attempt to smooth that issue some.
    I will go back and see if I can go the other way with the sharp.
    Hope theres enough there. Again, my thanks :D

    I agree with Richard in here, Micheal. If the branches are that sharp, this would definitely be a winner. thumb.gif
    Sitting quietly, doing nothing. Spring comes and the grass grows by itself.

    :D Jiro. Thanks for saying.
    I did another version at yours and Richards suggestion and will post it.
    Its as best as I could get out of the old scan. Have new scanner now. I should give it a go pretty soon on this frame.
    Can't say as to why I haven't done it already. Am thinking the new image is a slight improvement.
    Maybe only just different but still way too soft.

    Thanks for saying Gary :D Am glad it was suggested to rework it. It is what
    you say. I'm happy enough with it for that.

    Nice to have your thoughts on this one Mary. It'd be cool to have a bumper
    sticker reading "I pull over for Sunsets" :D

    I need a bumper sticker that says that and "I brake hard and fast for anything interesting" :D

    Howdy Michael

    Richard was spot on. The re-do improves the image immensely. I also thought the graininess in the background was a bit un-natural. The smoother background in the second one is a nice counterpoint to the sharper tree branches.

    There you are :D Howdy, howdy, howdy :D We've missed you.
    Appreciate your feedback Jack. Really nice to have it as always. Tough to
    make improvements without such valuable stuff thumb.gif Looking forward to
    seeing what more you have coming. Michael
