this is lovely, wonderful golden light, and nice texture

A fine use of the vertical motif and grain for atmosphere.

Now is that a tree covered mountain? Very unusual but a great colour!

Ha! I am not sure how to answer that question. Yes, it is a tree covered mountain. All the mountains on the east coast of the Americas are tree covered. Funny thing is, if my geological memory is correct, these mountains were formed during the same orgeny that created those barren hills you photograph Bob!

This is Turk Mountain, of the Blue Ridge, in the very southern fringes of the Shenandoah National Park in central Virginia. The Shenandoah Valley is behind with the ridge and valley portion of the Appalachian Mountains in the distance.

I heard the applachians are more hills than mountains:) Great photo. I love the colors.

As this came up on my screen I said to myself...self, this looks just like the Blue Ridge. Hehehe, I was right. Great picture Bob.

Lovely light coming through here.

greatly caught!

Nice, just the blurred, blue stuff in the top left corner is disturbing.

Thanks Bastian. This is kind of a twisted shot. I worked hard while shooting to keep the willow trees behind the phragmites but could not quite get it. Also had to rotate the image which made the background trees askew.

Bob I really like the backlighting. Well done.

Beautiful photo Bob, wonderful colors, great angle. Very nicely done!

Very nice indeed. I like how there's that row that's sharp but it is more subtle than most. I really like it.

Great miniature landscape. I'm imagining if this mushroom were the size of a building (not sure why, but I am).

wonderful graphic element to this composition

Nice shot Bob - congrats on the feature nod.

Is it a photohop effect or real blur ?

This is a radial blur added in post processing

Argh! I now noticed what Jen said about the picture moving if you move you move! Nice idea...

Congratulations on the feature Bob. That's pretty cool about the movement Jen was talking about.

Wow! Wow! Can't think of anything else....wow!
