I liked the light values in this clearing storm. I was finally able to exit my tent after several hours of strong thunderstorms. The Smooth Douglasia looked lovely in the saturating light.

Beautiful use of colour and composition.

I hate being out of step, but this does not seem up to your usual standards. On my monitor the colours actually look a little "muddy" and it misses the clarity of many of your other shots. I dont mean sharp, I mean easily "seen". Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed

I actually like the subdued colours. I can almost feel the humid in the air.

Richard, I appreciate the comments. The color was a natural, with that fine light in the air.

Haha! You are NEVER out of step! Please always state your views, they don't have to always be meshed with everyone.

I am not completely sure what you mean by "easily seen"...perhaps that the colors might be sort of thin? The atmosphere itself seemed "thin" during this clearing. I think that has muted the colors down quite a bit.

I ALWAYS appreciate your comments, patrick, and I totally respect your opinion! Cool Do you think I might be better to add some saturation? I could try that, and see what you think. That's why I have the statement below in my signature line, I LOVE any and all critiques, so that I may learn. Very Happy

THERE [humid] was what I was looking for -- the feeling after this storm was "cool humidity", and perhaps that is what the colors are representing - not sure, I just know that it was a strange thing to come out of the tent and see this atmospheric condition to the light.

Hi Larry, which camera was this? I quite like the pinks against the greens but my eye is struggling for a lead into the picture, I feel as there needs to be a path leading to that mountain range in the distance or a boulder etc to break up the foreground. You were pretty exposed place for a thunderstorm!

Yes, I was exposed. The storm came up very quickly and I was at least a mile or more from any cover. I set up the tent WITHOUT the metal poles, I just staked it down and draped it over me. Even at that, my ice ax was buzzing - seriously! Shocked

I think if I had to do it over again, I would go wider, and try to bring one of the Smooth Douglasia plants up close for a lead-in. I feel the same way about having something to anchor the scene a bit more.

This was the Pentax 645, hacksaw. I think I had the 55mm lens on it, which is equivalent to a semi-wide comparison to a 35mm system = 33mm lens. The 45mm lens would have been better.
