My Buddy...

I like it a lot.

Hi Lonnie,

Exceptionally beautiful colour match and grass texture in that scene! : ) It's striking!

But... : ) Yes, there's a little 'but' here; for scenes like this I wish sometimes that the camera would also be directed upwards so the viewer can actually see what is rising upwards...a hill? a steep cliff?

I think a vertical panoramic coverage would have made this scene complete also accentuating the solitary presence of the 'buddy' in the extensive vastness...

If you have any photo of that orientation, it would be a delight to see!

There was an un-interesting foreground (dirt) and a difficult sky (based on the rest of the frame.) The vertical one's weren't that great. I did crop out the bad parts of one, and here it is...

I agree with Yildiz on this one. Your second shot gives more info on the surrounding, as well as it's a much beautiful one.

Thanks, Lonnie.

This is one beautiful scene! I'm glad we were able to see the magnificent trees with yellow top parts...'Buddy' is one lucky creature to be living there! : )

I don't mind the first one, but the second has more appeal, it has the backdrop to the scene and makes it much more interesting, for me anyway.

ps. Are they getting on top of that beetle yet, that is destroying so many of those wonderful conifers?

Thx Greg.

Unfortunately, they are not.
