ahhh....MUCH better Lightning. Colors work well together. The images do not...clash. yes, much better. try setting your image size to 1280 x 1024 before you start though. This is the size requirement to be added into the permanent galleries. ; )
I have no idea what Tracy's suggestions mean since I'm only here to appreciate or leave without comment and I know Tracy knows photography, but I really like this! ;-) Thanks
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is a society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar,
I love not man less, but Nature more
--Lord Byron
i dont blame you for only going 1024 resolution. i did a 1600 res frax flame yesturday and it took 14 hours. thats a good reason to go with a smaller res.
