Hey Ricky!

I was browsing through your portfolio and found this little gem in the rough! What a beautiful place this is!

I took the liberty of working on it to bring out what I thought was beautiful in it and posted it in my Workshop here:



If you could get down closer to the river bed, on a tripod, at dusk when the sky is so blue during the winter - know what I mean? - you would have a beautiful shot!

To me the beauty of this place is the stunning yellow grasses, and the blue of the ice (isn't great how nature gives us all these complimentary colors?). So if you shot when the light was even bluer (early morning before the sun is above the horizon, or late evening about 45 minutes after sunset preferably with clouds in the sky) this would be a stunning scene!

Like this shot was taken about an hour before sunrise in the winter, that sky hasn't been post processed at all, it's how my camera recorded the blue light of winter!

And this one was in the summer with an approaching storm about 55 minutes after the sun went behind those mountains way back there. Again, no post processing to make the sky that blue.

is that helpful? Or am I just telling you stuff you already know? Sorry if that's the case.

I used to shoot with an HP camea, and admire your patience! Beautiful photos once it gets around to taking them - am I right?

Anyway, I hope all of this is ok to mess around with your work like that and share my shots with you out of the blue (no pun intended). Just waiting for all of the teenagers to come home so I can finally sleep, and thought I would share.

The ATV might be cool in your new shot as a silohuette in the foreground?

Hope all that is helpful somehow. :D
