Nice Fuzz lovely shot...not trying to be a dick, but if you look carefully there's a bit of a halo along the trees to the far left...sharpening artifact (clarity in Camera Raw), or perhaps too much structure in SilverEFX pro?Quote:

No worries. It was admittedly a bit aggressive processing in LR3 that is showing up. I did wonder how noticeable it would be to someone else, and now I know the answer. Need to keep an eye on it and tone it down next time.Quote:

I'm no zoologist ... quaggas?
This young guy was observing me carefully in my backyard:

The first of two waterfalls that took hours of major bushwhacking to reach on Saturday.

My wife was recently out on a boat with some contractors that specialize in looking for native mussels on a different waterway and they found them.
The following two shots are not my pictures.

She is holding one that they found and it is a native North American mussel of some sort.

Probably a variant of one of these:

I wish I knew enough to look around for natives while I was up there.
Around Vail, on the way to Moab:

man lots of prettiness on this page.
uglymoney, that followup shot is really interesting. Definitely look like a lot of zebras in there. it's really interesting reading about how they alter ecosystem balance.
outabounds ... great capture. how much room to the right of your tripod?
Chad man that snowfall shot has some great soft light and texture. lovin the partially covered creek that'll be gone soon!
I'd say it was worth it. I'm not a huge fan of long-exposure waterfall/stream shots (due to over-exposure (no pun intended)), but that is one spectacular shot! The composition is just perfect.Quote:

Red Mountain Open Space, north of Fort Collins.... as a nice little cold front was moving in. (first shot looking north, second shot looking south)
about four inches? I spent a lot of time close to edges on Saturday. Really makes you miss the solid granite of the Sierras sometimes.Quote:

What we do to "get the shot" sometimes amazes me. :)Quote:

How many times have I been on a very steep slope and thought "This wouldn't be so steep if I had skis on"?Quote:
