Old pine 2

Decided to redo this jpeg image from 2008 instead of a re-post. I have worked on this image following some of the comments I received from the first post, which I appreciate. Lightened overall, slightly changed the crop and did a noise reduction. The area behind the pines on the left which look like a halo are in the original image. It might be dust or even pollen from the pines. It was a very warm day.

Much stronger image for my tastes John. I like the warm light and what seems to me to be richer color.

This works much better, John. The textures and light are much more open and appealing. Perhaps I am being picky, but in the large version there is visible mottling (noise) in the sky-upper left. Other than that, this is big improvement.

This looks much better John with better detail and color in the tree. Much nicer view of the tree.

This is much improved over the earlier post, John. This is a fine look at this tree.
