	Bruce Wilson of Provo, UT thought on 7/17/2007 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "Not a shot I'm proud of, because the light was low and I had what appears to be some color crossover, likely due to color developer exhaustion (didn't replenish at a high enough rate)." 4594

	Mike Davies of Salt Lake City thought on 11/11/2005 that this photo was good and added the following: "My grandfather, who lived in Goshen, worked in this mine when it was in operation years ago. I never new exactly what kind of mine it was. Very nice photo of the mine." 3288
	Maxim of Ohio thought on 10/30/2005 that this photo was good and added the following: "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." 6498
	Maxim of Ohio thought on 10/30/2005 that this photo was superb and added the following: "Being in the right place... Perfectly composed, IMO. " 6053
	Maxim of Ohio thought on 10/30/2005 that this photo was okay and added the following: "I would step to the right and turn a bit to the left - so the bush will move to the left of the picture and the larger peak a bit to the right. I don't like them being almost aligned along a vertical line, I would prefer them to form a diagonal. Personal taste. :)" 7176
	Lisa Jensen thought on 8/8/2005 that this photo was very cool and added the following: "I like both the color and the depth of field in this photo. I can almost smell the sweet scent of dacying leaves on the forest floor." 4589

	An anonymous visitor thought on 6/15/2005 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "Hi Bruce, the correct spelling of the plant is Lomatium junceum. As you may already know, it is the larval hostplant of the Papilio indra minori butterfly you shot. FYI. ~Todd" 4015
	Michael of Florida thought on 6/14/2005 that this photo was superb and added the following: "Very nice shot here, kind of reminds me of some of the terrain I saw last year in Northern Iraq." 6974
	Wayne of Orem thought on 6/14/2005 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "Bruce, you did it! You have discovered a new population of Papilio indra minori. This is a very fresh specimen so it looks like the flight has just begun where you are. I guess this is the specimen you saw? There must be either Lomatium junceum, L. parryi or Cymopterus terebinthinus in the area for this fresh specimen to be there. Anxious to hear from you again. Keep up the great work! Wayne" 3942
	Syr Cian mac CuRoi of Calontir thought on 5/9/2005 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "Yes that is me and my knight.... and he did blow me away. I realy thought I was going to get the sword, and was disappointed, until I realized what was REALY going on. One of the more memorable moments in my life. Thank you for taking this picture" 3851

	Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 1/9/2005 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "It would sure be a good test of color. Note that this version has the typical blue/red intersection "mosquito noise" typical of .jpg's. Use it if you like, but I can get you a proper .bmp if you send me you email address (send it to [email protected], click on my name). If you use it, please put "(c)Bruce Wilson" on it in clear text. Bruce, KD7VEM " 7304
	Bruce Wilson thought on 10/20/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "Another one shot in overcast skylight. The 4x5 is great, but I've never managed to get the colors right in an R3 print." 6910
	Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 10/20/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "No enhancement here. I got the blue by shooting this toward the end of an overcast day. The blue skylight was quite rich, and the darkness helped me get a long exposure (about 1/3 to 1/2 second)." 6813
	Rivi of Dubai - U.A.E. thought on 10/19/2004 that this photo was superb and added the following: "This is another great shot. One question though, did you increase the saturation of blue? Hope you don't mind the question. I am an amateur trying very hard to learn. Rivi www.ajithrivi.blogspot.com" 6813
	Benjamin J Wilson thought on 8/19/2004 that this photo was like, Wow, you know, totally mind-blowing and added the following: "Hey Dr. Wilson, I had no idea that you were a photographer. This picture is awesome! Those clouds look like they were painted. Very good work. Thanks again for writting me a letter of evaluation, and preparing me for the DAT. So far on my practice DAT's I have got an 18 or better. See around this semester. Ben Wilson" 7842
	Terri M. of Idaho Falls, ID thought on 7/27/2004 that this photo was superb and added the following: "Absolutely beautiful. Wonderful contrast between the warm light on the building and trees and the coolness of the sky and water." 6621
	Dorde Woodruff of SLC thought on 5/30/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "this is not Opuntia polyacantha but rather O. basilaris, beavertail. Note that it doesn't have regular spines, just glochids, the fine barbed minature spines. The pads are bluer than O. polyacantha, and a different shape. The plant is more compact. Gorgeous photos! " 6034
	Dorde Woodruff of SLC thought on 5/30/2004 that this photo was good and added the following: "A pretty, neat flower on Sclerocactus parviflorus, not S. whipplei, which is a smaller plant, doesn't grow here, and rarely becomes cylindrical. The common name for S. parviflorus is a translation of the Latin, "small-flowered fishhook cactus", or more properly, "small-flowered little barrel cactus", a misnomer, since this species has small flowers only in comparison to the giant of the genus, S. polyancistrus of California. " 4995
	Dorde Woodruff of SLC thought on 5/30/2004 that this photo was good and added the following: "This also appears to be S. parviflorus, but quite a young one. But the petals are narrow than in #8164. It is not S. whipplei, which has yellow flowers and grows in the Navajo reservation area in northern Arizona. The name S. whipplei got widely entrenched in the literature because S. parviflorus wasn't discovered and named until the '30s. " 8853
	Dorde Woodruff of SLC thought on 5/30/2004 that this photo was good and added the following: "This plant is commonly misidentified, even in floras. It isn't S. whipplei but rather S. parviflorus, first named in the 30s by Clover and Jotter on a river trip, in the Grand Canyon. S. whipplei grows on the Navajo reservation and thereabouts in Northern Arizona, is globular unless very old, smaller, and has yellow flowers. " 5296
	Wayne thought on 5/14/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "No. Not in the family Apiaceae. This again looks like Atriplex, but maybe it is a young Astragalus (locoweed)." 3682
	Wayne thought on 5/14/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "No, this is not a member of the Apiaceae family. THis looks like saltbrush (Atriplex sp.)." 3868
	Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 2/23/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "This is shot through a Cokin blue/yellow polarizer. I was just holding it in front of the lens as best I could, but wasn't aligned very well. In the end I liked the effect, so left it full-frame. Sort of an unintentional vignette, much like the very early field cameras that used lenses with small image circles. I've tried printing similar shots, but always come back to this one." 7439
	Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 2/23/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "I shot this about 10 minutes before sunrise from the balcony at Bryce Point. The haze is from a large fire burning about 20 miles to the north, which settled into the valleys during the still night." 8483
	spaceranger47 of Mars thought on 2/21/2004 that this photo was superb and added the following: "Beautiful. It could be on the cover of a postcard. What time did you shoot this at?" 8483
	Matt thought on 12/15/2003 that this photo was superb and added the following: "Where the photo you took just after I let go?" 3652
	swede of Gothenburg, Sweden thought on 9/8/2003 that this photo was totally cool, dude and added the following: "I've Hiked Mt Timp 3 times and it is the most spectacular view in Utah. Also Snowboarded it 2 times in winter by far the biggest visiting spot in Utah. Swede Steven Andersson" 6876
	Doug Dolde of Payson AZ thought on 7/16/2003 that this photo was superb and added the following: "Great image---the light is outstanding as is the composition. Bet you wish you had used your 4x5 !!" 6771
	Lauren Anderson of Ogden, UT thought on 5/22/2003 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following: "It's a fascinating picture; great representation of the scale and steepness of the trail, makes me want to go there. The picture seems a little underexposed and saturated with reds and oranges. It would be nice to see it lightened a little in PhotoShop." 6498
	Lauren Anderson of Ogden, UT thought on 5/22/2003 that this photo was totally cool, dude and added the following: "Absolutely gorgeous! Everything definitely came together in this one." 6723

	Cemal Ekin of Rhode Island thought on 11/24/2002 that this photo was good and added the following: "I think this is the barn I was thinking of but the angle looks different. My memory must be failing me. Cemal" 6527
	Cemal Ekin of Rhode Island thought on 11/24/2002 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "I saw Byrce Canyon for the first time last December. It took my breath away. Then, again in May and I was blown away one more time. Although I came close to seeing the sentinel, I could not go down far enough to see it. Thank you for sharing this extremely good photograph with us all. This is probably better than what I would ahve seen on that cloudy day. I may take another trip there since my doughter and son-in-law are in SLC. You live in a wonderful country there. Regards, Cemal" 7304
	Barbara Willard of Provo thought on 10/26/2002 that this photo was superb and added the following: "I'm glad you hae this picture that shows the trails. My husband and I took the horseso on one of their trail trips plus we have walked the trail several times, brings back many memories!" 4464
	Barbara Willard of Provo thought on 10/26/2002 that this photo was good and added the following: "So great you got the people in the picture! Shows how huge the pillars are!" 4182

	cody hatfield of payson thought on 9/25/2002 that this photo was good and added the following: " if you had a dodge the first thing you would not have got stuck you should have call some one with a dodge to pull you out u suck next time call me i have a real truck" 4593
	Eric Carlson of Crooks thought on 7/28/2002 that this photo was very cool and added the following: "Its always good to see other people interested in the D&I. Bruce - please get with me about a railroad meet we're going to be having in Sioux Falls this November. - See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SoDakRailFans for details. Thanks!" 3719
	daniel mendez of Ann Arbor, MI thought on 6/27/2002 that this photo was good and added the following: "I like the contrast in the colors.. nice use of filters... :) I would probably crop the shadow at the bottom of the picture." 3926
	Jonathan Bundick of Texas thought on 6/27/2002 that this photo was good and added the following: "I like the subject, composition, and light. A little more exposure might help, but not too much could be improved on. Very nice warm feeling when viewed for several moments. " 3919

	Bruce Wilson thought on 5/23/2002 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "Thanks for the heads-up. I fixed the title." 4354
	Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 3/14/2002 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "Thanks, Theo. It's okay to use as your own desktop. I guess those trees really are out of focus, and I took another look at the big version, looks like th ebarn is in sharp focus, but the Teton mountains in the background were out of focus a bit." 6895
	Theo Jacobs of The Netherlands (highest hill: 340 meter) thought on 3/14/2002 that this photo was superb and added the following: "Hello Bruce, Following a link from the PhotoSig site I came on your site and enjoyed it very much. This, however, is a real masterpiece! One of the best photo's I've seen in months, especially the 'big' version. One small point though: the big version is lacking a bit in sharpness, I found that sharpening it makes it even more impressive, uncovering much more detail. Do you mind if I use it as my desktop? (Well, as a matter of fact I've already tried it and it looks great on my Iiyama 21 inch)" 6895
	jack gilbert of Toronto thought on 3/13/2002 that this photo was superb and added the following: "I love photographing God's creations, the flowers.I wonder why you have not decided to use a high end digital camera and Photoshop. This remarkable combination brought me back to photography. There is instant gratification in taking a photo ,downloading on computer,manipulating in photoshop and printing in minutes.See my flowers on www.photographybyjackgilbert.com.Having viewed many of your pics it is evident you are a superp photographer and I think you should employ this to a fuller degree in the digital world. Congratulations. JACK" 3596
	An anonymous visitor thought on 1/26/2002 that this photo was okay and added the following: "The reflections are the most interesting part of the shot, I think." 3608

	An anonymous visitor thought on 11/28/2001 that this photo was superb and added the following: "The big version of this photo is neat. So much detail is shown." 7416
	An anonymous visitor thought on 11/5/2001 that this photo was superb and added the following: "Wow. Very nice. Is that house still lived in? I can see a chair in the doorway." 6621
	Bruce Wilson thought on 7/14/2001 that this photo was good and added the following: "Shots like this is why I always carry a 24mm wide-angle lens. You may have noticed that most shots in magazines like National Geographic are shot with wide-angle lenses. These lenses give a very nice sense of both subject and surroundings. Just remember to keep these rectilinear lenses pointing exactly horizontally to prevent convergence." 3566

	Rebecca of SDSU at the moment thought on 4/27/2001 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following: "I like it, but I don't like the quotation marks around 'interesting.' I like the pic b/c it reminds me of home, with all the different colors of dirt and the way it's piled up in mountains with the sky behind it. Looks like home, I miss that..." 4586
	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." 3911
	Bruce Wilson thought on 4/11/2001 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "This tree, at Palisades State Park north of Sious Falls SD, has troubled me for years. I've shot it dozens of times, in varying lights, from all kinds of angles, but I've never gotten it right. This is one of the better color shots. The B&W shots are better, but still not there." 3983
	Joe thought on 4/11/2001 that this photo was good and added the following: "Framing is kind of wierd for a tree, but the colors and exposure are spot on!" 3726
	Crystal of SDSU thought on 4/9/2001 that this photo was superb and added the following: "I really like your whole page of flowers. They are really beautiful!" 4031
	Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was okay and added the following: "I guess by now you've seen I like the play of deep shadow on objects illuminated by the evening sun. This is an old road grader (used mostly for snow removal, I suspect). Some depth-of-field problems, but nice colors." 4193
	Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following: "I've always liked this shot, even thought there is a focus problem, and a slight imbalance in the composition. The light that afternoon was perfect, though. Shot outside the Madison SD Prarie Village antique tractor pull and all-around good time, this was the preparation for the ploughing contest. The train in the mid-gound is an old Arco switcher (about 1000 HP) that pulled four cards full of passengers around the site. The silos in the background are a nice reminder we are in the prarie. The shot could be fixed had I waited another moment for the engine to move about eight more feet, creating a line from the silos, thrjought the cab of the engine, to the head of the farmer. And closing down the shutter would have fixed the focus problem. Maybe next time." 3742
	Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was quite beyond his capacity to understand and added the following: "...er, "magical" and "junked" are the words I wanted to use there." 4145
	Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was good and added the following: "South Dakota, due to the extremely flat land here, has the most wonderful evening light. Rich in color but still quite bright, the light just before sunset is the photographers 'majical 20 minutes'. Take a juned old tractor, wait for the light, and you get a pretty-good picture." 4145
	Bruce Wilson thought on 4/6/2001 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following: "This is snow by the side of a dirt road. The grass just didn't stand out enough in the photo. Had I done this on sheet film I would have given in N+2 development to enhance the contrast. This is also underexposed a stop." 4164
	Bruce Wilson of Brookings SD thought on 4/6/2001 that this photo was good and added the following: "Shot last Fall, I still think this is a Spring picture. Maybe it's the woman's dress." 3701
	Bruce Wilson thought on 4/6/2001 that this photo was blah and added the following: "...er, that should have said, "the ground is still too wet to leave the pavement."" 3970
	Bruce Wilson of Brookings SD thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was good and added the following: "I have a real fondness for this picture. I got the reflections in the 'grill', but not me! Colors are nice, too." 4197
	Bruce Wilson thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was okay and added the following: "This picture was shot the last week of February, 2000. Can you believe the difference this year? The second week of April and the snow is just thawing. The ground is still to we to leave the pavement. This is the city park in Bushnell, just East of Brookings." 3970
	Bruce Wilson of Brookings SD thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was superb and added the following: "Shot at the Estelline SD Quarry north of town. It's one of my only surreal pictures. I call it "Still-life with Front-end Loader". I did not fix a slight blue tint the photo got when I scanned it." 4586
	Bruce Wilson thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was good and added the following: "If it weren't for the poor exposure, this would make a nice ad pic for the marine Corps." 4176
	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." 4377
