Love the soft mistiness of this image, Dale -- beautiful! BTW, the Zion image is taken on the patio behind the Museum.

Thank you Katherine. Teresa was with me when we took these images on Whidbey Island. Which museum do you mean? #10352464

Beautiful image! #10352866

Dale Hardin October 03, 2012

Thank you John. Hadn't visited your gallery for awhile and wish I had. It's marvelous. Was especially taken with "Olivia" and "Don't weep for me" Your post processing techniques and especially the wonderful texturing is excellent. I'm so bad at that and it's something I've really longed to learn. #10353114

So beautiful Dale. I was there a few summers ago, in the afternoon with blue sky, looks quite different from your image #10361131

Thank you Claudia. Love that morning light. That's why I conned Teresa into getting up at 5 am and driving for two hours. :o) #10361373
