As posted it does a fine job of relaying the lay of the land so to speak. As something more than that, i think it fails. IMHO, I wouldn't have taken the shot as is, due to the blown out sky. Don't know if there was a way to get a 'similar' view with no/less sky, but I would have tried if I really wanted this shot for more than info. Perhaps another time of day or a different day with less direct light.
Hope this helps Thanks for posting Kenneth Waller ============= You know, I look at it and think it's okay. But I also look at it and think a "professional" photographer would not print/show it with the blown/white sky. So I guess there are different levels of standards. It was overcast that day, so the sky was whitish anyway. It would have been better shot on less white sky day to begin with. I find the reactions interesting, actually. Though now versed in PS would correct it with masking stuff, those from a strong film/slide background without being that PS proficient are not bothered so much, and those that are more professional would fix/do it differently. Or maybe those are my conclusions from the reactions, but that seems to be it. I probably will tweak it when I am more up on PS. Thanks for your input. Marnie
