Velvia, Pentax 67 200mm with extension. Gorgeous, soft, ideal close-up lighting by Oregon winter weather, Inc.

Frank,The hand of man rule applies here as well, I presume. Actually cropping off the road and fence cleans this up nicely, IMO. Why the extension on the 200? How much? How can you have infinity in focus (as far as I can tell the mountain ridge looks fairly sharp, but the overall softness is very soothing)?

You got me Frank.

Sorry, this is the wrong image! I thought I knew that this was a close-up of a botanical specimen, rather than the Sulfur Springs Valley image that I had no intention of posting because of the "hand of man" rule.My apologies to all, especially to the moderator who has to can it.

Ca c'est mieux! But aiai, that little distracting leave! We need the Hand of Man there to unveil that unspoiled Saxifrage..

Like the sky, clouds and lighting in the unintended post. But on to the intended one, a very nice pattern broken by a bit of variety, including the splashes of yellow and brown.

Thank you, Duncan, for the correction.Albin, I selected that part of the plant deliberately for the maple seed and I also put it in an "unbalanced" location in the composition to keep it from looking like it followed the "rule of thirds" too strictly.
