Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Great shot. Excellent colours and composition. What lens was it taken with? Did you use CPL?

Big Red - Thanks! Very bright out at that time of day, thought I was going to go snowblind 8)

Avkomp-1 exposure, colors in my opinion are actually better than the pic relays. Those such as Gary etc that have been there know what I mean

gstark - Thanks Gary :!:

wmaburnett - appreciate the feedback :)

birddog - yeah, glad I didn't loose it in Vegas either :shock: Saw alot of D200's being carried around 8)

Trevor: Daria Halprin, and yes she was.

Mind you, I'm a sucker for Karen Black and Kelly McGillis.

This is an excellent image! Welcome back Paul. The image really portrays the scene well, it's got quite an element of the surreal to it. Well done and thanks for posting. :D
