@JerryCoffin I think you need to think of this from a signal processing standpoint. Eruditass is correct for the terms used but I think there is some confusion about which terms you guys really mean ala @jrista

:D

i like the idea of exploring other tag sets too

yeah it's certainly a help

there needs to be a richer set of features for getting questions on the correct site

on a site that is more narrow you get much more technical questions answered more quickly and fully than on the big sites

i appreciate the variety that having a smaller site like TeX brings

indeed

cooking is doing very well

some might get up there

I think not all sites can be (or should be) as large as SO

those small cliffs behind it look interesting

I'd like to see it a bit wider and closer so the log fills the frame more

definitely an interesting subject

i somewhat like the sharpness of the whole frame

or a reflector for the sun

or use the dark to create some contrast and get more sky by moving the camera lower

a bit of fill for the foreground might not have hurt

I think it's a bit too dark over all

this is more of a jeff feature

yeah

possibilities of getting an event ticker on the front page?

need to advertise some more :D

should be pulling your highlights out of the clipped area on the histo

even all the way up?

gotta be careful

Recovery might end up killing your leaf detail in there though

but the branch/trunk detail could be brought up a little

I think the sky is about as good as you'll get

very cool looking tree

indeed

they have a graduated filter option

yeah

bring up the shadow tones

HDR wouldn't be too bad either

getting the camera a bit lower wouldn't hurt maybe

I like the angle

I would also photoshop all the birds facing the other way

wish the lines coming towards us were angled more left

really though, I like the lines in this

well THERE'S your problem!

:D

I would probably reshoot this on canon instead of pentax

all good comments, I'll have to play with some sliders

i actually had to bring the exposure down to get the detail back in the glass

yeah probably a good idea

it was slightly wider but I rotated to level the side a bit more

@chills42 yeah I think that might help

nah I got a couple without it but they're only from the front and not as interesting without the projection on the wall

it was much warmer originally but I cooled it down to try and make it look 'icy'
