"I don't agree with Lauren. This underexposure with the rich reds gives the perfect impression of the sunset time, compatible also with the long low shadows. Looks like the end of a long hiking day. Very good indeed. I wouldn't change anything." 5513

"A wonderful picture, but it's off center. You would have to edit it way down if you ever wanted to do anything with it" 6333

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/19/2001 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following:
"It is a macro shot (using a 25mm extension tube), and using the angle finder. Angle finders are essential for getting shots that most people don't see, because you can get your camera in odd locations (on the gorund looking up) and using the finder still see what you're shooting. Were I to do this again I's stop down a little more and keep everything in focus. Most macro photography has a depth of field problem. I think it's usually done to keep the background fuzzy. It's much better to stop down then remove the background with black velvet . With an angle finder you get sky in the background, and fuzzy sky is still sky. This shot was done on a tripod (set very low), but I had to keep the shutter speed high because the wind was blowing and moving the subject." 3305

Bruce Wilson of Brookings SD thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was good and added the following:
"A nice coincidence. The two balloons were being inflated next to each other, and the wind caught them just right to make it look like Smokey was wispering something into the ear of Sarge. Luck was responsible for this shot, not skill, I'm afraid." 3642
