Hey, what can I do with this photo?

You can take me there and drop me off.

But that's up in the desert mountains!

Wedged a layer of sandstone between two layers of originals and called it done.

This is one of those driving (no, riding) down the road with the camera in auto-mode moments.

This sunset lasted 4 hours! And this is about 40 min before it's last bit.

There's more but gotta run ...

have fun

Hey pam in response to your question. I think it is a little too white. It could stand to be darkend just a little. #1351830

Hipam, its hard comparing the two images, I like the rectangular one better more room for the photo, the square one, to me is like being in a tight box, well thats at least my opine, but heck I have been wrong before, Once lol

LOL

Thanks Matt and Stan.

I keep confusing everyone with the second pic. Mmmm I'm going to have to find a way to clearly say: Here's the original just so you'll know where I started from.

WHAT? Protacio? You really don't have anything for me to fix? I'm marking this day down on my calendar: One photo made it past Protacio ;)

Thanks bunches for the imput

Have fun,
pam

I like it Pam. Great progression from shadow to highlight. Just the right amount of mystery to evoke inquiring thought and comment. Horizontal crop really works well here.

I like it too. Great improvement on the original. I would definitely have ditched the original without paying it a second thought. Just seems like a great abstract that reminds me of sunset mountain drives. #1379852
