Thanks Walt. Yes it's a 3 shot hdr with a slight Orton effect added as described here to give it depth.

svjetlana, I like your fist one. The crooked tree contrasts nicely with the straight lantern and the high key conversion is very appropriate. Second one has weird colors, but somehow still works well for me. Composition is rule of thirds by the book, which really helps the picture stand.

Thank you very much for your comment.

A prunus serrulata, pruned too much and perhaps hugged too little:

Paul, Perhaps too much hugging?

You know it's spring in North Carolina when the clouds of yellow pine pollen fill the air . You will notice it on the following photos. Here are just a few trees that are coming back to life.

1.


2.


3.


4.


5. Just for fun...


All taken with A350; Sony 50M28; full exif at Pbase.

Cheers... Brian

@aa: nice IR shot. But it may not be pushed or PP'd far enough to really get the IR effect. Seems like this could have been achieved with a mono conversion...

@jagged: I like the simplicity of your shot. But I think I would have cloned out (or move at shooting I guesss - easy to say after) that bush or whatever that is on the right side of the picture...

Here is one from me, shot on film earlier this year:

Very unusual picture David, I like the composition and the fish effect but somehow the B&W (can't say conversion because it's film) looks strange to me. Can't put my finger on it exactly but I think it has to do with the dark foreground with some detail in it, but overall lacking contrast. Not sure how to otherwise describe it. On the other hand the sky and clouds are very much on. Hope you get what I mean, if not never mind

Thanks a lot Pieter for your thoughts and taking the time to comment, I think I know what you mean, I have sorta the same feelings. I am still learning how to process B/W films... (both chemically and PS-wise)... next time will try to get a better output
Thanks again!
