Under the canopy

[John R]

A couple of shots taken at Kortright centre, north of Toronto. The second is of wildflowers whose name I am still researching. I have added a third to show where I took the photo. I went onto the deck and shot across to the left. Very nice place and good light, bright, slightly overcast.

John, I don't think much of the wildflowers, but the forest is really excellent. The only problem is that it's subtle enough that it really requires a well-made print to bring out the subtleties. A 72 ppi screen display just doesn't get the job done.

Oh well, one out of two isn't bad.

As Russ said, the first one carries great detail throughout.  I like the subdued contrast.  I think a print on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag or Bamboo would really look great.  Nice job.  The wildflower doesn't work for me either, but it's more than made up for by the first.

I'll vote with the others... I like #1 and 3...

I also like 1 & 3, the restrained contrast and subtle (but still full) tonal scale is really nice. I'm with Russ, these would probably make lovely prints on rag paper. With the wildflower shot, I think you need more contrast; I don't really like the way the leaves blend in with the background.
