Hi Doyle, Long time no see. I Love the bottom part of your about. As soon as I read it,(During a rain break in the rediculous Southern California rains) this song started playing in my head.

"Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya
It pours man it pours." ( Albert Hammond Lyrics )

I think that this fits perfectly into the FRESH project. This has it all. FANTASTIC Colors....beautiful clouds...AWESOME reflections on the water. A real EYE opener. Well done my friend and presented.

By Best Regards

Hi Sam!

Long time, indeed my Friend. Great minds think alike . . . THAT song has come up more than once and I have asked someone to find this guy and slap him for me . . . if alive . . . if not, a quick dance on his grave should soothe me somewhat! :P

It's awesome weather here right now . . . but we've been WARNED about tonight. Snow is dropping to 3,000 feet and we had an honest to goodness avalanche higher up . . . Oh SNAP dude, I'm not even in shorts! it's only 70 degrees here! How much do parkas cost??

Thanks for the comments . . . (As always)!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

A reflection of a new day captured, the glassy water is wonderful, it reveals more details than the view on the horizon, it is a different POV fron the water... great silhouette shot Doyle..
Hope to see more of your work, take it easy there, do some photography..:)
regards..


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99427} 1/27/2008

Todd Weeks   {K:7531} 1/29/2008
Doyle,

Superb colours and beautiful composition, as usual my friend. May I suggest you clone out that nasty con trail though?

Well done.

Todd


Mary Brown   {K:67308} 1/29/2008
This is a glorious sunrise. I hope the rest of your day was as colourful and vibrant as it started.
MAry


Shirley D. Cross   {K:138496} 2/1/2008
You're welcome, dear Doyle!:)


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99427} 2/3/2008
Thanks Todd! You know I agaonized over whether or not to do that easy clone . . . just dodn't know what effect it had (good or bad). In the end I left it in as a natural element of the shot here in So. Cal. Still . . . I remain unsure about whether to leave it in or not. I gather you see it as more distraction than necessary? Obviously it'd be SUPER easy to take out. :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99427} 2/3/2008
Thanks Mary . . . Sprinkles on our ice cream took on a whole NEW meaning . . . You KNOW how we suffer when we have inclement weather! :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Todd Weeks   {K:7531} 2/3/2008
Doyle,

Such is the beauty of the human race. We don't all see things the same. How boring that would be. You see it as a natural element. I see it as an unnatural blemish. My eye keeps being drawn to it as it sticks out like a sore thumb. I do find it very distracting. I see ugly con trail instead of beautiful sunrise, but that's just me. I tend to dislike any element of human interference in my nature shots. I understand and I can see how others find the mix of nature and man a poignant contrast. After all, we are just as much a part of nature as any other creature. Please take this as my 2 cents. I think it is a gorgeous picture as it stands, or without the con trail.

My best regards,

Todd


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:99427} 2/3/2008
Thanks again Todd. You're right . . . different 'strokes' as it were. I'M the one torn . . . I was glad to hear another thought on it . . . hard to be decisive on this (for me). Anyway, you know I always appreciate your two cents! :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~
