A well chosen dose of the colors, Rob. You've showed us both the untreated and treated version of this photographically masterpiece, probably enabling us to compare them. If so, I have to be honest above being polite: I don't like to compare them like apples and oranges because they as their own charm and character.
The only thing that I like to say to you is that you've done it masterfully again. Kudos, my friend!

Rob I really like the comparison you have given us. Excellent once again, and one of your best, but that list gets bigger each time. Just stay at the head of the class and collect your cookies. This is professional in my opinion. tigs=^..^=

The Grapes of Wrath, in the flesh, as it were. The "dirty thirties" is a theme of many museum exhibits, it being one of the worst times in our history, the first major crash of Wall Street compounded by the natural disaster fomented on the country by farmers being told to follow horribly incorrect husbandry practices by the federal government. A drought dried up the soil and, because everyone plowed their fields in the same direction and didn't plant tree lines, much of the United States was a dust bowl. What I'm hearing today, unfortunately, is that climate change is beginning to rear the ugly head of a partial return to those "dirty thirties."
