Above the Clouds

I don't think this photo probably does justice to the sight you enjoyed from the plane. I know they can be just phenominal cloud views. This one looks just a little muddled...probably the plane window. But I can see that this was really a cool view.

Lovely shot. Just a beautiful view expertly captured...from a moving train! Amazing. I really like this one.

These flowers are gorgeous. The colours make me think it would also look wonderful as a watercolour painting.

Finally, I can make a contribution in a different way for you Shez. This is not a tree and not related to bananas. It is called a Travelers Palm or a Travelers Tree, although again, it is not a banana, a palm, or a tree. Those leave bases eventually fall of leaving what looks like a trunk, but technically it is not.

The botanical name of the plant is Ravenala madagascariensis and, as the name suggests, it is native to Madagascar. I grow them on a wholesale basis for sale to other plant nurseries and landscapers.

I very much like what you did with the colors using the color balance. I'm going to give something like this a try and see if I can figure out how you reproduced the DIFFERENT colors instead of simply changing the overall hue. Very creative.

Good control of depth of field with the focus in just the right spot. The purple and yellow colors are a good, calming combination.

Great profile, great no distraction background, and a great B&W shot overall. I hope that the treatments remain effective.

I like this. It reminds me of a work by an artist I know of who does a "Blue Dog" series.
