    Nice Carter. I like comp in #1 and really like shot #3!
    For #4, it is fine, but I would explore b&w option and crank up contrast a tad!
    Cheers!

    Thanks for the suggestion. This photo of the lichens, #5, is practically straight out of the camera. I'll play around with it a bit... Thank you!

    Hey Carter, I like #'s 3 and 5. I agree with Taz, #5 would look great in B&W! Nice job!thumb.gif

    OK so I took it back to LR and converted to BW, bumped up the contrast and clarity. Thanks for the suggestion; I like it better. What are your thoughts? --Carter

    Very nice man!thumb.gif
    You could add some vignetting like -12 or so.....that will bring more attention to that beautiful sharp area....
    also push blacks more...like darker.....without losing the punch you have right now in lights.....
    Of course my own personal choices don't count......if you are happy...life is good!
    Cheers!

    I like #2, I have a fondness for blurry photos. #4 is nice and the rework of the last one, outstanding!
