Optical Coincidence
by mpeters

Comment:
Your description reminded me of the story of how Galen Rowell acquired [url=//mountainlight.com/gallery.tibet/images.html]this image in Tibet. I don't recall all the details, but I think it involved running about a half-mile across a muddy field with all his camera gear to get to the right spot in time.

Talk about optical coincidences, I think with just a little burning-in you can make that into a funnel-cloud in the background.

Madrone is one of my favorite trees, but I've never seen it in such a distressed environment. That looks more manzanita to me, but a nice shot whatever it may be ...

Really like your use of DOF and negative space composition in this one.

Comment:
For images like this I like the noisy, gritty look -- sometimes I just grab the Blue Channel alone and drop it into a new grayscale document. Your model definitely appears to have a passing familiarity with the Grouse ... : )

Endangered species and humor get you bonus points :)

Oscillating Strings

Comment:
I tried this once -- nothing nearly this good. Curious to see what settings you used.

I think I came to regret not naming mine "Harmonic Node" or something, to help draw attention to that special feature.

This school looks like it has way better lighting than where I last tried this -- B&W works well.

Good idea and execution -- I'm wondering why you didn't "go all the way" add labels and arrows.

Good presentation of the camouflage effect; lighting and DOF used effectively to make a somewhat subtle and interesting photo.
