    I don't know how well it shows in the picture, but we could see the rare triple rainbow from our back porch this evening

    Fantastic! But not as nice as a stringer full of walleye.

    I was just in Cascade this past week. Beautiful area. When I was a kid, we went to scout camp on Payette Lake.

    Beautiful sunset. Northern Idaho is a beautiful area.

    A big (and beautiful) difference. Thanks.

    I'd argue that the temple looks fine, but the hillside shot seems fake because the reds are off. Maybe dialed back a little on the red side would look better. Also, you lose some detail with that; have you tried to use "sharpen" after using it?

    There is no question that you lose detail with pop art, epsecially with reds.

    Pop art can give a photo a touch of unreality.

    This doesn't really belong in this forum, but I have a question.

    There is an old painting with a cocky looking smirk on the man and he is holding a cane and pointing his fingers. Somebody on the former messageboard used it as an avatar at one time. I'm racking my brain to remember who the painter is, anyone remember?

    Taken near Stansbury Island. I was amazed how dark the sky gets there so close to SLC

    wow...very nice.

    U-Ute...would you mind if I share your photo, via facebook, with a photography-nut friend of mine? I think he'd really enjoy this. Will credit you of course.
