I love this one, its awesome. It just seems like I could 'open a door' walk into the photo on the beach. (If that makes sense) It has amazing depth. #1447928

Thank you, Beth, and thank you also for taking the time to tell me what about the image that you like. Everyone likes praise, but feedback like this is much more beneficial. And yes, your comment makes sense. It means that I succeeded in giving the impression of depth to a 2-dimensional image, which is what I was striving for. #10025995

It definitely gave that impression. I think you met your goal nicely #10026036

Thank you. I think having the camera low (about 2" off the ground) and close to the log (less than 2 feet) had a lot to do with it. I used a hyper-focal distance chart to manually focus so I knew everything form the log to infinity would be in focus. #10026077
