Beautiful shot, Dan. The image looks a bit oversharpened for my taste.
Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.

You're probably right. It just kills me that you can't see all the detail in a little jpg that you can in the 16x20 that I just printed. I just uploaded a less sharpened version.

I know exactly what you mean about detial and a small JPEG, Dan! But we do the best we can :-) The second version is definitely easier on the eyes...the halos seem less noticable.

Dan,

Very beautiful, as usual!!

The red flower in the LLHC really complements the main subject nicely. When held to the highest standards I find the fraction of the tree trunk in the LH side a tad distracting.

Nicely composed! I know how hard it is to isolate a neat snag like this, and you did a great job. I'll bet that print looks nice!

I think the foreground flowers make this much better than if they weren't there as it takes focus away from the partial tree trunk on the left edge. Very nice shot!

IT looks a little washed out on my monitor , but I bet the print rocks. All the elements work well, I thought also about the tree trunk, but the flowers would have been lost and they are a more important element than the bit of trunk on the side. Great shot, I love these old junipers. THey are like low altitude Bristlecone pines with the dead and live parts.

I like the FG flowers. I'm a bit distracted by the tree on the left. I like how the hazy FG defines the tree more.
