Taken a few minutes before my last post. I feel like I'm starting to regain some of my proficiency with the scanner and processing but not sure it's up to par yet. All comments welcome. >=))>

Very nice Bill, really like the soft light and subtle colors, processing looks real good in my opinion. Beautifully presented.

A beautiful scene, Bill, very nicely presented. What stands out to me are the three well separated layers, and I particularly like the distant mountains adding considerable depth to the image. Nice work!

This image is very evocative. I like the mood present. Everything seems to fit together so well. The color palette is so unusual, yet strikingly beautiful (I love that shade of blue). Add that to the shapes & forms present, the wonderful haze, AND the lack of fine texture and detail, and you've got a superb image that stirs the mind.

Bill,

Fantastic image! Great mood and a wonderful moment. The composition is perfect, the narrow format accentuating the fog and the canyon landscape. I even like the mountain tops in the far bg giving some depth and interest in the top of the image. The lines of light across the valley of fog is wonderful. You might even try in processing to accentuate that even more; brighter lights, darker midtones, etc.

the only nit I have is that it seems to get a little noisy/grainy in the larger version. also, there are a couple of cleanup spots in the sky you could clone out, but that's minor.

Wonderful image.

Lon

Really like this one, Bill--the light is fabulous and the colors beautiful and natural! If you can recover any shadow detail in the fg, i'd do so, but not really necessary. Great shot! :toast:

What a nice series. I really like the "island" quality to this one.

Great comp and superb light Bill. I love the shadows from that sine wave moving acros the image.

Lon's right about the mountains in the bg too. The image would be much less interesting without those.

Superb, another one my favorites of yours.

Love the mood...what else is out there?
Just enough foreground to keep me grounded!
