It does give a birds-eye view! Lovely image.

Cheryl,
Greetings. An engaging image with a long view that has me gazing off into the distance. A slight CW rotation would work for me as well as a slight decrease in magenta (this latter more a matter of taste). Also my inclination would be for a slightly (again slight) more prominent foreground (a taller set of grasses/flowers, maybe drop camera position about a foot, atop a steeper incline?... just some thoughts).
Thanks for posting... happy to see more.
Cheers,
-Michael-

Cheryl - nice view off Steptoe. Don't think I've ever seen a fisheye view off Steptoe - quite creative! I would agree with a CW rotation to put the edges of the horizon at the same level (unless I am mistaken this is likely a crop from the left hand side of a horizontal image.). I don't think you need to decrease magenta

Beautiful shot Cheryl, the colours are gorgeous as is the view. Love the cloud formation too. Rotation mentioned.

Thanks, Mitch, Michael, Don (thanks for the directions while we were there!) and Jackie. Clockwise correction (hopefully) attached. Michael, since Steptoe is on the opposite coast it'll probably be awhile before I try a different perspective.
PS - I'm not able to attach a repost - will email Peter and see if this is a new policy or just a glitch.

Hmmm, is that the fisheye lens that Artie and Denise keep handing back and forth? It sure gets around! I really like this view, it really highlights the vastness of the area. What a bonus to have such a cool collection of clouds in the sky.
Something is wrong on the site, I'm seeing all the HTML tags that aren't getting interpreted by vBulletin and the signature pics have disappeared. Hope someone is looking into it... Anyone else seeing this?

Cheryl: Your repost corrects the tilt which others mentioned. This image doesn't work for me. I'd like to see more differentiation between the foreground and the middle ground. The three layers don't connect well for me. Just my opinion. Glad others like it.

Wonderful approach with the fish-eye to capture the long, curved view. The clouds arch like a frame over the earth. I really like the clarity of this. However, it is a bit difficult to separate the foreground from the middle ground, as Anita mentions. Can't wait to see more from the up-and-coming Palouse region.
BTW, I, too, see some glitches in the functioning of the web site.

Anita has hit a good point - the separation might be better if you had the chance to have the middle ground fully lighted by sun (its partial shadow now).
Also the 15mm Sigma is highly regarded by another excellent landscape photographer I knew while I was living down in the Phoenix metro area - see EJ's website at http://www.ejphoto.com/
(Cavaet: Similar to Artie/Canon, there exists a relationship between Ej and Sigma. However, EJ uses lenses from Nikon, Sigma and also highly regards the Zeiss ZF/ZE lenses even though manual focus (with assist on Canon) . <<I have found the Zeiss 35/1.4 ZE to be superior in resolution to the copy of the Canon 35mm/1.4L, and subsequently sold the Canon 35. Just picked up the Zeiss 21mm f2.8 Distagon T* ZE - another sweet lens. So EJ is onto something here with alternatives to the Big N and Big C....and maybe I should look at the Sigma 15mm to compare to my Canon 14mm L ....>>

Hi, Don, I've been impressed with the quality of the build of the Sigma. All my other lenses are Canon at the moment (except for a Lensbaby but that doesn't count
) I'll check out the Zeiss lens you mentioned.
