Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Free Study XIV (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro for Canon
Location: Sierra Buttes California
Date: Oct 22, 2006
Aperture: 7.1
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/400
Galleries: Landscape, Nature
Date Uploaded: Oct 27, 2006

 Processed in RAW, converted to JPEG. Crop, some d & b, cloned out a tiny fire observation tower.

This is in the Sierra Buttes with shadows being "best" around early to mid-morning this time of year to show the "face" in the buttes.

My walking around lens, the Sigma 28-300 suddenly stopped working, so my Sigma 105 macro/portrait lens came in handy on this visit.

Im not sure why but that rock in the middle reminded me of a human face with the point sticking out symbolising a nose and the bit below symbolising a mouth.

Ok im odd :)

Nice shot though

Great detail and shadows on the mountains. The only thing I could wish for would be some clouds rolling by.

Nice scene but too much plain blue sky.

good color and exposure. I like how the trees/rock/blue make three distinct diagonal strata. Very balanced compositionally.

Good composition, Some level adjustments might help bring out the colors and textures in the rock.
