Title: Arizona Juniper Exp 2
Post by: David Eckels on November 10, 2021, 10:38:31 am

Tried ICM with this subject repeatedly, but in response to a question by Frans W, I tried a single exposure. I think it is getting closer to the spirit of the subject and leaves its environment intact. May try a B/W version, too. From my walk yesterday.

That one is very nice.

I like it as it is - a beautiful image. The light wasn't the easiest and you may be right to try a B&W version.
Well done.

Thank you, gentlemen.
Francois, I did try the B/W version, but it seemed to flatten it out in a way I didn't like. I could try starting entirely from scratch, but not sure I have the energy! I think I will just let this "sit" for a while.

Good to know - sometimes B&W isn't the solution - especially with a nice shot like this one! Keep your energy and spend it on another photo.  ;)
