That's gorgeous, Sam. The processing works perfectly here. I really need to get out there some day.

I agree with kdog -- the processing worked perfectly. Really like how you composed this photo.

Fine work. I haven't been out to Bodie in more than 30 years. Doesn't seem to have changed much....:cool

That's a great sign!

Sam, I like your take on the scene as this isn't a perspective I've seen before. Gotta make it out there one of these days!

Thanks everybody!

I need to get me a hat like Schmoo..................:D

One thing I always try to do, (not always successful), is to find a different perspective, an angle, close up, far away, high, low, etc. I attempt to see the scene as a photograph as apposed to what my lying eyes see.

While I will take the iconic shots of famous well know locations I know I can't match the work done by the masters, but by searching for that different angel, or lighting, etc and it's a new image that stands on it's own, not a comparison to great works of the past.

Thanks again!

Sam
