No, thanks! Your suggestion would remove "grounding" of scene and reduce illusion of 3 dimensions.

Not easy to photograph in a nor'easter. Great job of capturing the mood and feel of the storm. It's almost like we are out in the maelstrom.

I had this pegged as the winner. Great job of capturing the magic of the moving rocks. And, the sun halo is magic. Great job!

The BareTree and the Bay

Outstanding scene for HDR. Amazing detail throughout, but especially on the shady side of the tree trunk. The texture of the rocks on the shore is striking. This is a really good example of complete DOF from toes to infinity. Great job on the sky, with it's pleasant tones and glorious detail of the cirrus clouds. The asymmetrical composition is exceptionally eye-pleasing. I so appreciate the horizon line above the vertical middle.
