Lake Clementine

Gee. 'Sure wish mine looked this good when I had issues. 'Very beautiful, Darin. I love how you composed - the framing, line placement, some foreground w/ high clarity & fading beyond center. 'Certainly worthy of a re-take, but dang its good. I sometimes feel like most of mine need retakes - but they don't come out this good. Bravo.

Thanks HiHo!
I worked this quite a bit with dodging and burning. I did this in the darkroom as well, but it was not until I had it dried that I realized there was a problem with the neg. A big soap-bubly uneven development problem in the sky.
-The one thing I havent been able to replicate in the darkroom yet is the nice duo-tone I can create in digital. The whites stay white.

Dont get discouraged. i think many of your images have potential. And you have some winners there as well.

Love the sort of flowing silk look of the water with the hardness of the concrete....nice one.

Nice perspective and a powerful theme
