Oh, look an Ansel Adams image. How cute. I wonder why you should choose it? Dangling a wee bit of bait are we?
Ok, fine no problem, take this image apply a levels mask, move the gamma point to 0.9 maybe a touch more. That would be my ideal/preconceived notion of what this Adams image should look like.
Now your comments would be?
As to some others commenting in this thread let me say this:
It seems a shame, at least to me, that some think smarmy remarks on others lack of an august presence in these surroundings, or any other for that matter, or less than perfect execution in an attempt to convey a different flavor of how any given image might be handled, are grounds for passing straight derogatory comments. Hokey? Sure great ok, no problem Eric. One hopes those passing these types of comments have not suffer any permanent damage to their limbs, or eyesight, while patting themselves on the back or looking down their noses at others from such lofty heights as they have attained. One might suppose, with so much to offer as is apparent by your body of work Eric, one might have expected better, I guess not.
