Jerry,
Youv'e been showing your artistic side of you in your last posts. This is pretty darn nice. Maybe just a tad flat IMHO.

Thanks Rick. I was just looking at it as you posted and wondered if I needed to punch up the contrast a little. That's the deal with the LB. With only 2 elements everything out of camera is flat. I love the mood/impressionism it imparts and am glad it's accepted on this forum. I'll punch it up a bit and repost.

I've GOT to get out of town and do something else though. I'd love to hit the coast, the gorge falls or Silver Falls, but have a deadline to get my website published, so y'all are going to have to look at backyard LB shots for awhile. :biggrin:

How's this?

Second one is definitely better. the contrast boost helped a lot. And... well, yes, I'd say you need to get out of the yard :biggrin:

I like the way the flowers flow around and through the frame. It keeps my eyes occupied.
