Ok...i'll line up.

Nice scene but just a tad too green & whats all the purple fringing along the path & on the grass horizon ?

Steve Cavigliano · February 9, 2005

Where's da nude sunbathers?

Andy,
Thanks for not making fun of me and yes I'm an easy target

I wasn't making fun of you, it was Harry and Fish (who'da thunk it, huh?...lol) I think that it's their way of showing affection :lol Better than a hug, doncha think?...lol

Nice, nice , nice shot. I was wondering what you were doing up on that bluff for so long. Now I know. The worn dirt path, rambling up towards the top of the frame, is a very nice touch

Good work, as usual, and I'll see ya tomorrow. I hope we have great light like today

I think it's beautiful.. I love the flowers bottom left and I"m just drawn up that path (I'm mad about paths) only nit is the dust mott in the sky upper right.. but then you knew that right?

Tim Kirkwood · February 9, 2005

Andy,

This is a great shot!

I do agree that there seems to be a little PF along the path.

But I know its unedited.

Overall...

two thumbs up! (We need a smiley with both thumbs up)

thanks gus - that's not purple fringing, or any fringing... that's the sky in the distance.

appreciate the comments

I think this is a very classic lanscape Andy, and well done at that. One thing I particularly like is sharp focus going from the front to back. Pleasing lines and colours, and well framed.

Andy, that is one gorgeous shot.

it's not pf gus. what it is, is a bad editing job on this pic. i'm gonna try to fix it later. cr@p. thanks for pointign this out!

obelix · February 9, 2005

I like it as is, but if you shot RAW, see if you can recover more details from the sky. Great composition btw.

OK, I see how you are Harry

Stirring up trouble, while you sit back and laugh

May a GBH, with diarrhetic bowels, poop on your favorite lens

Seriously, the only way Andy and I could have more fun is if you were with us

We really do miss you.

Besides Andy needs someone to caddy his bag :lol4

Andy,
What a beauty!!! I LOVE the compo!

Dee · February 9, 2005

Those are some strange colors Andy
And I live on the coast! I see you got a lone California Poppy too!

Better light today, and a strange but pretty sunset. I have to downsize and I'll post it later. I actually have some "real" work to do, though it won't take me long. But I have to do that before becoming a couch potato for the evening.

Sigh... How come I can't shoot colors like this? Great shot Andy.

ehughes · February 9, 2005

Andy, VERY cool shot.. and two birds to boot. Incredible capture

Nir · February 10, 2005

Beautiful in every aspect!

Hmm...I think the ol Challenge Master is getting busted big time. Dust, purple fringing, unrealistic colors, low sky detail, and the lone flower of a plant that almost never blooms alone. Maybe it's just a piece of litter, as California Golden Poppies are not yellow. They're orange like this:

I feel so sad for andy...getting his chops busted like this. :cry

thanks fish, always appreciate your thoughtful insight

i don't actually know what it is, but here's a 100% crop. looks more like a dead leaf i'd say.

fish, allow me to introduce you to one of the greatest inventions in digital photography.

it's great to be able to get constructive criticism and feedback here on dgrin. through the help of 'gus and lynn, i was able to improve this shot. i'm actually looking forward to working in a proper lightroom on this when i get back to new york...

oh don't get so cranky, Mr. Latte. Just funnin' with ya.

Dee · February 10, 2005

Oh my, my eyes are really getting bad
Or is it wistful thinking that the yellow leaf was a poppy? My bad, my apologies Andy ...

gubbs · February 10, 2005

What a critical bunch we're becoming

I think the only thing that would improve the shot would be someone walking away down the Path

thanks obelix - i shoot raw only and so this it for the details, i tried a second exposure from the raw file, it made the sky too dark imo so i decided to leave it be. thank you for the feedback, i appreciate it very much.
