Greetings,

Such a nice fall day yesterday I had to get OUT

Cheers, Don

Very nice. I love the detail. The only criticism I have is it looks a little TOO perfect and looks a bit like a museum exhibit. Only because the background is so uniform, I think. A bit of contextual background may have brought it to life a little bit.

But it's a lovely picture.

Nice tight shot!

Thanks for sharing.

Love it. Wish I had the patience for this type of photography. Anyone want to buy a Canon 300 4L? :mrgreen:

LOL, first time for a "too perfect"...

Thanks for the comments..

Cheers, Don

:blushing:

Sorry. I don't mean it in a bad way. I think the photograph is stunning. Really.

I'll shut up now before I dig myself in deeper

No, please. Don't be scared to speak your mind

Initial impressions are important to "us" and I didn't take it in a bad way.

FYI the nearest "background" was over thirty feet away..

As to perfection, well. I am quite pleased with a handheld shot at that focal length. I did crop a little and in hindsight it is a little too tight on the left side.

Cheers, Don

Final process and recropped for print...

FYI original size 4032 pixels wide, cropped to 3403 pixels wide.

Cheers, Don
