13. For both of these

May 2012

I not only envy that you took the photos. I more envy that you were there to have the chance to do so.
They are both exquisitely beautiful, and could not be more complete, each perfect in their depiction of the moment.
These make me wonder just what did you chose to enter to override either of these two in your decision??????
I hope I'll find out.

Congratulations on both of these.

There was banding in the sky, so I didn't use it. alfredo May 2012 #14

Not superior, I just take a bunch of photos. The law of averages alfredo Jun 2012 #33

There are abrupt changes in color/shade because the sensor isn't up to such gradual shifts. alfredo Jun 2012 #31

That one will work as a B&W. If you can do filtered conversions, a red filter will do alfredo Jun 2012 #39

I can't do much fancy stuff - so here is one I simply cropped Mira Jun 2012 #53

Still your sky is nice, and the blacks are good and deep. Nice. alfredo Jun 2012 #63
