About Although not really shot in the Tropics . . . but in Southern California, this shot after the light drizzle and with the waterfall seemed to suggest the title for me. Flamingos in the morning. No more drizzle when this was shot.

Heeheehee! Im amused because in the thumbnail the rock looks like a fish...
Apart from that, I love the colors in this, it all looks so clean and fresh and untouched.

In my world SoCal IS tropical! Nicely composed, great use of foreground elements, positively lush...and most importantly, no half-beakiness going on...whew! ;)

Can you do me a favor Doyle? When it's -20 degrees here, will you post another from the tropics?

Take care...Robin


Wayne Winsauer   {K:6290} 11/12/2007
Sorry Doyle,
Many times I have to add just the slightest bit of orangey brown to my images to get my greens as rich as yours here. Figured you may have done something similar.


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99493} 11/12/2007
Thanks very much, Srna! ;)

Doyle I <~~~~~

Hi Robin!

You're kidding, right? We had drizzle here yesterday. Actual drizzle!! Apparently, it never occured to our local Fire Department to stock up on sandbags either. STORMWATCH 07 passed with little or no devastation . . . but for a second there . . . ( *shudder* )

I'll certainly try to post another when it's -20 . . . but keep in mind . . . that means it'll be 68 to 72 degrees here! Under such extreme conditions . . . it'll need to be a short excursion. ...And I trust I'll get to peek at the Snow Globe world of beautiful Winter Wonderland you live in too?? :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99493} 11/12/2007
Ahhhh . . . no need to apologize Wayne, I was just confused about what you were saying. I'd do the same thing in a heartbeat if it improved the shot. As it happens, the Nikon Handles green very well and the internal settings of the D200 allow me to slightly increase saturation on the RAW during the capture, instead of in editing. Here, the only real issue was a 12% burn on the lighter, lower left foliage to avoid extreme contrast and the perception of blow out. :)

Doyle I <~~~~~

Excellent composition and great colors. I really loved this shot. Will look great in a frame.


Robin Wickenkamp   {K:16211} 11/12/2007
Without a doubt Doyle...probably a whirling, wobbly, woozy Lensbaby shot to boot!


Mustafa Akbilen   {K:1627} 11/13/2007
Perfect shot indeed... I love this one...

Mus


Michele Carlsen   {K:122895} 11/13/2007

Thanks very much Michele . . . you'd love to be a neighbor of mine then . . . with the aviaries . . . we have songbirds singing at dawn and dusk. :)
