Well, since we're all digging into the archives, here's a shot of my favorite hillside in the Gorge. I haven't found it yet, but one of these years this hillside (it's about two miles long) is going to give up a fully awesome shot.
Until then, this is pretty fun to look at, imho.

This is actually fun to look at. I dig the sharpness on this one over your previous post from this hillside.

Mark,
I remember a similar shot you were playing with earlier. You are on to something.

Fantastic detail, Mark. I like the faint animal paths cris-crossing the hillside and green foliage interspersed with stone.

Really nice, Mark. I also love all of the trails and shapes on that mountain side. Keep shooting it !!

On a side note, it seems just a little flat (Levels Black = 19 & White = 240 brought out a lot more detail if you are interested).......

Thanks, John, I don't really put that much effort into photos specifically for the web. I work them so they look good on my monitor and will print well. After that, if I want to show it on the web, I don't touch it. I just shrink it and upload it.
