I love the superbly controlled exposure and processing in #1. The colors and details are incredible!

Posted by Jeremy Kessler on April 12, 2010 at 12:10 AM

yep, one is incredible!

Posted by Dan Walters on April 12, 2010 at 12:15 AM

Thanks! The first is actually a horizontal, but I thought a vertical would be more dramatic.

2 is excellent, 1 is amazing!

Those are sweet! I agree #1 is outstanding.

#1 is amazing. Where is Sloan's Lake?

Very nice work Dan! I like oyur decision for the vertical crop in #1. Colors and everything look great!

Wow, great shots Dan.

Excellent work again!
I like 'em both equally. The slightly blurred wing tips in #1 are a perfect touch.
Special kudos for keeping the exposure in check and excellent all around 'development'!

Very nice. Like both. Detail is marvelous.
