Stormy Autumn Afternoon

Hmmmm Tom, I'm not sure what it said.

It could have been a comment giving some (constructive) criticism. Something like a statement against the ubiquitous flood of comments in the trend of: 'ooo what a nice picture!'. Nothing against those comments, which often are genuine and sincere. But ,constructive criticism is a strong tool to increase the quality of one's pictures.

It also could have been something like: 'ooo what a nice picture!'.

As it disappeared, I don't know it anymore. ;)

Warm greetings from Holland! Peter

Hello Peter. Thanks for visiting again. I can honestly say that I never saw an earlier comment from you on this image. I welcome any and all comments including those that include constructive criticism. :) You are so right my friend that it helps to "increase the quality of one's pictures." Please continue to do so.

Best regards to Holland from the USA,

Tom

Well Tom,

Basically it said that, in my humble opinion, the sky became too grainy in this picture and that the transition between sky and hill did not look very natural. With 'natural' being one of the characteriscs of an 'Lussier HDR'.

It might have been some bug in Panoramio, that lately is not posting the comments well... Sorry for my sarcastic comment above, shame on me (and the lost comment)!!

Thanks for the reply! Greetings back to the US!

Peter

Peter - Thanks for the input. A very astute observation and always appreciated. I'll have to look at the raw file and see if I can correct some of that. :) But the image to me is a little softer thereby lending a unique mood that would be lost had it been "tack sharp". I do see what you mean about the grain in the sky. Not sure if I don't like it or not. :)

Thanks again,

Tom
