Hi Mr. Sandman ...

Great revision, the picture does look much better.

Take care,

like little boys, we all need reassurance we're doing the right thing from time to time.

Thanks LinhLe
a long since forgotton pic , i've learnt a lot since i submitted that one. i still like it though.

I think this was my first or second post.

Now what you need to do is go back to that spot and retake a similar picture and see what you end up with too. I mean, you've learned a lot about the camera and editing both. Let's see what you've learned in total. :)

Great edit above too.

Bryan i'd have to wait until winter , but judging by today's weather ,that's not long coming.

But i think the main change i would make now ,is to shoot this RAW. to give me more latitude on the edit . Perhaps alter the view point slightly to mask the rubbish bin , but honestly i could'nt recreate this shot exactly ever again, the lighting ,that vapour trail ,the direction and lengh of the shadows, still if i remember i might try too.

should be able to get darn close to a re-creation, besides the vapor trail and maybe the trash bin. Hehe The trees are still there, the place is still there. Just have to wait for the same time of year, same time of day, etc. Be interesting to see what the "same" picture would look like.

[sandman]

I can tell you in two words what it would be like

BLOODY COLD

[Swampy]

And you call yourself a truckdriver. I've seen women truck drivers here in the states whine less than you! :P

Just playin' around of course. Maybe. :D

[sandman]

Dear Sandman.

I think It 's must be a very good chance to drive around the country not only for our living but for an opportunity to know and to select the best views of our country.

Since I'am too lazy to make a comment on another photos, let me have as least a time to tell you that untill now, all your posted photos about your country looked great to me and that help me to form some good oppinions about your country panoramas.
