    I will be the odd grumpy guy. This one doesn't do much for me.
    That said I went your website and saw images I would definitely print and hang on my wall.

    One B&W "mist" really caught my eye.

    Thanks, Len. Sam, no problem, and thanks for commenting. I certainly don't expect every image to grab every viewer.

    Outstanding image, Don. I could get lost in this picture. Please don't be afraid to post them in a larger size. We have that stretchy resized feature that sizes the picture to the users browser. This photo needs to be viewed large to appreciate what's going on here. The leading line of those trees points straight towards the largest peaks. I really like the bare trunks all lined giving the trees an almost manicured look. Then there's the grass with a myriad of flower growth, I see lupine and whatever those red stalks are, they're beautiful. The shot is perfectly balanced with the trees on one side and the mountains on the other. And finally the blue/purple pastel gradient in the sky gives an ethereally peaceful quality to the photo that soothes the eyes. Very well done indeed, Don. thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Joel, thanks for the comments. You see what I saw.

    I must not grasp the resizing feature. I'll see if I can figure out what to do.

    Beautiful production, Don. I agree with Joel...this shot really comes alive when viewed at a larger scale. Well done.thumb.gif

    Take care,

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    There's really nothing to do, Don. Just post the picture in a larger size and Dgrin does the rest. I like to use the Smugmug X2 size for posts, which is around 1600 pixels wide I believe.

    Thanks, Joel. For some reason, this part of my Smugmug galley display up to X3 but gives embeddable links only up to large. I can't figure out which setting to alter, but I'll keep at it.
