Thanks!Hi Bill,
Great image! I asume that you did not shoot this handsome devil with one of your wide angle lenses. He appears to be about to shed and they can be a touch grumpy during these times... ' best not to mess with him just now.

I have another two or three shots from this location, one is very dramatic, that may some day get posted. Remember, blame Tom.

Thank you Darr. I'm glad you like it. Your feedback is very much appreciated.
The color version is very beautiful to my eyes. It looks like a painting, but a photo at the same time. I really love it!
Seeing AShwin and Mark's great shots of the Palouse reminded me of my own trip there in 2007. Here's one of my keepers from that trip. P45 and 300 Apo.
Blame tsjanik. "please post more" he says so here are another two. Both with Pentax 645D, 645 35mm-A, f/16 two image focus stack (challenging). The color image used an additional two stacked layers (infinity focused) from Lightroom for additional Noise Reduction in the sky and a slight bit in the water. The sky in the color image gave me fits. The top right corner was way dark and the left side very light. After thinking I was done, the sky in the right corner was all messed up - posterized from too much pixel pushing. I think part of my problem was too many adjustments in Lightroom (and photoshop). Instead of starting over, I desaturated the offending cyans and greens that had come to life, and it seemed to do the trick. I'm using Tony Kuyper's actions to help process my stuff. Tony Kuyper Photography Sean Bagshaw has an excellent video tutorial on using Tony's actions and is highly recommended. The Complete Guide to Luminosity Masks

Thanks Jack, that's quite a compliment coming from you. I have a few shots I like from a self-imposed picture-a-day project I did for 6 months. I recommend that project to anyone who is in the photographic doldrums. I would not have gotten this image had I not needed to get a shot before dark -forced me out the door. Of course the project also produced some pretty dull images too, like my stove at 11 at night - an act of desperation before time was up for that day.Tom, IMHO this is one of your best yet :thumbs:
Congratulations! Good luck with the endeavour. :thumbs:This is an exciting day for me. My wife and I have officially started our indie publishing company. Our first book, an iBook, was released today in the Apple iBook store. This image is from the photo essay. It is kind of neat to think it is available in 52 countries.
Dave and Graham, thank you.Congratulations Shashin! Anytime one begins a endeavor such as the one you described, it's most definitely an exciting day for you both! Great Image and wonderful to see all that's going on in the captured image. Best of luck!
