It's like a painting to me because it's like you plucked elks down in the perfect spots for symmetry, then surrounded them with pines for a great scene.

Thanks for the comments. The land...Jim & Bob,<br /><br />Thanks for the comments. The landscape was fairly evenly lit by the late afternoon sun. I waited until there were no clouds obscuring the sun and there was little to do in the way of post processing except I tweaked levels a bit, and used the local adjutment brush in camera raw to darken the sky a bit and lighten a few dark areas in the trees. Both this and the elk looks pretty much how they appeared to the eye.<br /><br />I did a bit more work with the elk but not much. I used local adjustments to tone down their pale sides and again to even out some of the lighting on the distant slope in the second photo, and as usual I boosted the levels a bit until there was some snap in the highlights, but not enough to blow them out.<br /><br />Coy too thought that the elk photos resembled paintings. The bottom line is that it was just so beautiful out there when the light was good, which was a lot of the time except during mid-day when it was flat. It changed soon after those photos were taken, which will be the subject of another post--perhaps the next.Willardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059945499957721902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690422682664917237.post-62041055997067210072011-09-07T19:16:13.076-04:002011-09-07T19:16:13.076-04:00Very nice scenery as well as elk pictures.

Seriously, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this blog entry and catching up on your trip out west. Your photos are amazing, once again! They look almost like paintings! Is the western light really that good or did you do a little post-processing? They look awesome! I hope we get to see many more of your western photos here on your blog!!!Bob Shankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972425175560520596noreply@blogger.com
