View of a village in Westerwald Germany. I overlayed two bracketed exposures to get this lighting and focus.

Well, Paul, you always prove your skills at photography and this photo shows that. The natural framing is fantastic. The colours are soft yet so sharp. What a most wonderful view of a most lovely area of the world. I wish I were there. The shadows bring such softness also and the green of the heavy door is just wonderful. Thank you for sharing such beauty with us.Verena

Wonderful perspective and technique. I love your subject and all the great details in line and angle. I've never tried using bracketing that way with digital images. Thanks for sharing a new trick to experiment with and a beautiful image. anne =D

Tell me if you like it or don't but be sure to tell me why! I promise to always give honest and sincere (albeit gentle when necessary) critiques. MY NEW YEARS TIP for all, go have some fun with your new gear you got for Christmas. Do some things you rarely or never do. If you always shoot scenics, go shoot macros (or as close up as you can get.) Practice on different subjects, try new lighting techniques, bracket your shots (shoot the same image at different exposures and different apertures), get down low and shoot from your back, your belly, and your knees. Bend, twist, lean and climb up on things. Shoot toward the sky (carefully - blown out sunlight is NOT attractive :-) Just do something different and amaze yourself then share with us :-) Love you Caedians.

Although I use these techniques at work, for some reason I forget to use them on my Caedes submissions. But again, Paul, while many of us are familiar with your post work here, like the overlaid bracketed images, I'm sure it is something that many members have no experience with. If you ever have any downtime or are out of photos to submit, you might consider creating a simple tutorial for those folks who would like to understand how to get consistent exposure from foreground through background. I'm sure they'd appreciate it coming from a master of the craft. An excellent composition and a keeper.
