Re: [OM] Mid-Iowa ZuikoFest - Joel's results

[Chuck Norcutt]

I thought you were doing a job on us to lower our expectations but 
twarn't necessary.  I'm also a sucker for sunrise and sunset so Dawn's 
Early Light hits me just right.  I also thought you said or implied that 
you didn't get any good eagle shots.  No flies on them babies either.

I do like the old store front but not with your reflection in it.  It 
changes the entire mood of the shot from something old to something 
right now. I'm not sure how to get rid of it.  Maybe you should have 
stepped to the right a bit.  The close-up worked better.

The grain elevator(?) is an interesting architectural study in gray/blue 
but the criss-crossing wires just don't belong.  I do like the old house 
and the old barn and also the house and barn on the hill top.  Nathan 
would probably go berserk but if it were my image I'd have cloned out 
the power poles.

Nice job.  Much better than I usually get on a day's outing.  And I 
think I've only ever seen two eagles in the wild in my entire life.  But 
I'm highly competitive in gator and water moccasin sightings.  :-)
