Wow,
thanks for all the effort on this image.
I agree with all of you and hope to improve my final image from your suggestions. My goal is always to make the print a more effective image so that my customers will fall in love with it and buy it. I still think about all of the work that we had to do in a lab with film to get that final print and now that digital allows us to achieve that look it makes us want to go out and shoot as often as we can.
I studied Ansel Adams' work for years and have always remembered his idea of pre visualization. His print of Moonrise, Hernandez New Mexico is a perfect example. I was at the same spot about 20 years ago and would have probably had to spend several months there until I could get a shot that I liked. His creativity in the darkroom is what made his prints so beautiful. I'm rambling, but that's what we do sometimes.

Again, thanks for all the great input.

I forgot to mention that this was taken with a D200 and the Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR lens that I had to rent.
Hope to buy one soon.

Dale
