    I have been there but in winter 1983. Everything was frozen, even the monster !

    This makes me want to get back over there in summer and drive across the whole country

    I really like your landscape shots Rose and think you should do a few more as you seem to have a good eye for composition.
    The HDR processing has brought the shot out too.
    There are a few little tools extra in the hdr software if you didn’t already know, if you go to the utility tab at the top there is an extra contrast brightness and sharpening tool, you might want to have a play with them, if you haven’t got PS…
    Back to the shot, what a view and shot… this place is gorgeous my friend..

  • PrairieRose replied

    THANKS HEAPS Jason! I REALLY do appreciate the tips and I follow your tips as a guideline when I shoot HDR….........Of course, I totally LOVE your comments and I’m glad you like this…......it’s one of my favs I took on this last trip…........Hugs Matey! Rose xx

    I adore this one, it is (in my opinion) one of the best photographs I have seen submitted by you Rosie Posy. It’s as good as any HDR photograph I have ever produced and I wish it was mine to be honest.

    I was going to purchase it but seen you have the purchase this work thingy disabled so couldn’t.

    Booooooooo!

    PS
    Do you ever see any grizzly bears around these parts?

  • PrairieRose replied

    Ohhhhh…......that is just soooooo darn nice David….....I am totally a beginner at HDR and do require your expertise advise Pal! SPECIAL THANKS to you Honey to even consider wanting to buy any of my pics…....you are WAY too kind…....Just the fact you have looked is enough to MAKE MY DAY! Big Hugs to you Luv! Rosie and the Posies xx

    ~I don’t think there are grizzlies in the Okanagan Valley but definitely black bears….......
