Just piddiling around close to home.
Last Sunday was a busy day for me. I Had my Obligations at Church to see to and once i got done it was nearly 12:30 so I rushed over to the Garden of Course just to play around and Christen the new Camera. Here are the results.

I like 'em all, but the last one is tops, imo.

I've noticed a few posts lately that exceed the 720-pixel dimension. Did someone change the posting guidelines?

That third shot is absolutely sublime--great work! :toast:

Great job James! I personally prefer the first two. Reduce some of the contrast on the first one and crop a little off the right and it will be perfect. Well done!!

Nope, I just uploaded the wrong files that's all. OOPS! :rolleyes:

James,

Those are great shots - all three! You did quite an excellent job shooting mid day.

First off I notice a big improvement in color balance over your previous camera. No more yellow snow. :wink:

Secondly the colors really pop without looking over saturated.

Lastly your choice of composition is great as always.

Great way to start things out with the new camera. Maybe we can get back out there after the snow lets up.

Here's one from when I first got to the park. I saw Steam rising from the west side of the rocks as the Intense Sun Baked the Rocks.

I really like the third one. Nice contrast with the snow covered branches and blue sky, but what really makes that shot to me is the snow patterns laying across the rocks. Very nice.
