I like the second image Carl. I would clone out that grass that is on the right side. IMHO just a bit distracting.

Nice photos Carl. I also like the 2nd the best. Nice PP work.

Sure like the mood statement in the second one - dark, dark, dark, BRIGHT!

No. 2 wins for me, as well, and I agree about cloning out those two grass stalks.

[carlcmc]

ya, you guys are right. I should have pp out the grass stalks :-)

Hey Carl!! You have a very nice image in the second one! The comp is nice with the anchor point in there.

[carlcmc]

thanks for your comments guys. I enjoy seeing all the photos you guys post as well.

Carl that 2nd shot is a reel beauty.
