Palouse Prairie

Yeah, it was great, if heavy, lens. Ditto the Sigma 50-100.

Nice work Nick....like the b&w treatment.

The light is everything! Love the dramatic look and detail in the darkness.

Thanks Dossy. Coming from one of our resident B&W gurus, I'm honored by that comment!

Really impressive. It may sound strange to some city dwellers, but after living a bunch of years in Pullman, Great Falls, MT, and Cheyenne, WY, I really appreciate the simple beauty of the prairie. These capture that beauty in a distinctive and artistic way. Well Done!!

Thanks Ken. Yup, I do like these open spaces

Very nice set Nick. The FG in #3 is a bit too dark for me too. So, may be it is a good idea to crop some of it as you said already, if you don't want to brighten it.

Thanks Binur.
Here is a cropped version of #3 (3B).

IMO you cropped a bit too much Nick. Have you tried cropping about half of the FG land?

 

[Palouse]

Here are versions 3c and 3d. I went for not constraining the crop to the original aspect ratio, but did a free crop, so as to keep the balance of the scene

3C.

IMO those crops are better than the first one Nick. Although there is a slight difference between 3C and 3D, I prefer 3C.

 

[Palouse]

Thanks for taking the time to help out Binur. Much appreciated.

What a great sky. These are wonderful, moody images. I love them!
