Oh you did a splendid job on this one Jim, I like the actual capture, and the background gives it a wonderful color tone all the way around. Lets pass winter and head into spring! :) Tigs♥ =^..^=
The detail isn't as stunning as it usually is, but that could very easily be my glasses. It's still better than anything I've ever posted. I have an eye appointment to get new ones next week.
Great job on the background. Not a drop of noise in there. Spectacular post photo work.
Very nice colors, focus and presentation. Don't you just love it when nature shows up all color coordinated for us. Great capture, thanks for sharing. -Christie
I have to agree with Elizabeth on the angle of this shot, Jim - I really dig it. Great focus and DOF - I also like the brown on brown tone if the image - well done, my friend -
Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun
