Thank you for your kind critique.
I, too, thought the strength of this composition would be in the long stretch of layers of the varied colors and textures of the rolling hills.

Thank you for your critique. I, too, was disappointed with the amount of distracting dust and particles on the Southwest window, but felt compelled to take the shot at the time.

At first I thought this was a scan from film. However your notes make it clear that it is probably dirty airline windows which give the scratches. This is not a bad thing as I fel it adds to the image and places it context. A view few of us will ever see perfectly, but one which we must admire whenever we are given the opportunity. I really like this one.

As I mentioned here in an earlier response to David T, this photo was captured from my window seat on a Southwest Airline flight and sadly the plane's portal was not as clean as one might have wished.
First time I have ever attempted a shot like this from a moving vehicle of any kind.
Thank you for your critique.

I also was struck at the time with the varying tones, and the gradients of the hills as the morning ground fogs blanketed thier banks. One of the things I really was pleased with, was the dark range in the foreground that created such a deep depth of field for the remaining image.
Thanks for your critique.

I believe you are correct, that my Sony does have a dust removal feature, although admittedly I have never investigated it or used it.
However, the dust and particulants that appear in this photograph were on the Airplane's windows.
Perhaps I should register a complaint to Southwest Airlines for ruining our photographic opportunities but I somehow think they would put it in that big round file beneath thier desks.
Thanks, Dunc

In answer to your excellent critique:
1] Yes, this unusual aqua blue hue was the actual unretouched image seen that morning on the flight.
2] No, I had no other wide angle lens available to me on the flight, as my camera bag was in the cargo hold.
Thanks, Duncan

Very nice. Looks like your lens might have had a bit of dust on it.

Gorgeous work. I like the way the light grades from light to dark across the diagonal of the image. Nice presentation. CC

Duncan - I ahve a technical question about that image- When I look at it there are lots of JPG artifacts which suggest a heavy overuse of compression and there is also evidence of dust. See the small upload - My understanding of teh A100 is that it had built in dust removal - any comments - datsker@netspace.net.au
|
Zoom in for view of dust |

The opening scenes of "The Last Mohican" with Daniel DeFoe ( and others ) has some beautiful scenes like this of the Appalcian Mts in the USA. One thing I often find in my ouwn landscapes is that sometimes the sheer beauty of the overall scene can detract from seeing several "hidden" images. As an example I have heavily cropped your image - The central part is in my opinion the main information area. I realise that without the right lens this may not have been possible - One question - is this the toning of the original light ?
