2. I LOVE this!

Where did you take this? I see you're from the Chicago area...is this Lake Michigan?

I love the warm colors in the foreground, and the cooler ones further back........

VERY nice!

Now come look at mine......


:hug:

17. Yes, it's Lake Michigan

I went hiking at the Dunes yesterday. Let me see if I have a couple more.

And, of course, I already look at yours. :-)

[Fenris]

4. You're very talented!

:hi:

[prolesunited]

16. Actually, I have a new camera

A Canon PowerShot G6. It gives me a lot more options, but figuring out how to use them all is taking long than I anticipated. I'm trying to get it all down before we go to Mecixo in a couple of weeks.

But, thanks! :D

5. Wow! Just...wow...

That's a great picture. Good eye! :)

6. Very nice!

The colors are great and the texture of those plants is a nice contrast with the background.

7. It is beautiful. It would make a great screen saver

:thumbsup:

[prolesunited]

14. Feel free to grab it for one

if you like it.

[newyawker99]

24. Thanks! I did save it.

:hi:

8. oh this is gorgeous

the colors are breathtaking.

[NMMNG]

9. Very nice! It has an almost surreal quality to it, which I like.

[Deep13]

10. Well composed, but maybe a little deeper with the focus.

Be good if more of the grass was in focus.

[GOPisEvil]

11. Ooooh...gorgeous!

:thumbsup: Very nice!

[usedtobesick]

[Shell Beau]

18. Not sure I'm grooving with the slanted horizon

[prolesunited]

19. Better?

[DS1]

23. Yep!

:)

[prolesunited]

27. Thanks!

I appreciate the feedback.

[nutsnberries]

37. it takes me there-

and the horizon straightening makes it better.


:thumbsup: great shot!

[Aristus]

20. Gorgeous! I can almost feel the soft evening breeze ruffling my hair.

Or...okay, ruffling my SCALP, all right? B-)

Very peaceful and soothing image.

[XNASA]

21. The Dunes remind of "Road to Perdition"

Nice pic babycakes.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

22. It's beautiful. But where's the cheerleader?

[Call Me Wesley]

25. Beautiful.

I'd die for a long walk in the evening there.

[prolesunited]

29. Well, you live in Switzerland?

Perhaps we can make a deal. ;-)

[Call Me Wesley]

30. It's pretty steep here ...

[prolesunited]

35. That looks cool!

Let's swap scenery.

[EstimatedProphet]

26. Wow!

That's a wonderful pic!

[ComerPerro]

28. Beautiful

[Terran]

31. *Very* nice!

I really like that a lot, and I'm picky. I have one suggestion: unless you prefer the tilted angle, I would crop it so that the horizon is level and not tilted down to the left.

[prolesunited]

32. See post #19

I think I fixed it. And I appreciate the constructive criticism. I simply didn't see it.

[Terran]

33. Oh, I missed that.

It does look better that way, although I think it's still slanting slightly--barely noticeable, however. So is that a sunrise on the Pacific or a sunset on the Atlantic? I'm from the west coast and it still seems weird to me to have the sun *not* going down into the ocean.

[prolesunited]

34. Sunset on Lake Michigan

I'll take another stab at it later. Thanks.

[redqueen]

36. Gorgeous...

LOVE the colors, and the framing.

Very nice! :thumbsup:
