    Late afternoon sun on Madrona Bark. A touch of blue from Puget Sound, and green from the Madrona Leaves.
    Drank more coffee this morning, so I think this time I got it right, except that I cannot seem to catch the richness of color via the web that I can on my screen at home

    Canon 30D
    70-300 @ 70mm
    ISO 200
    f/8 @ 1/250

    Talk about color! on my monitor, it's very rich in color and I love the contrast of the orange and blue. It might need another pass of sharpening? Good post, Stephen!

    Artie, I think the tighter crop simplifies the image, makes it a little more abstract, thus delivers better on the color motif. The original has a more sculptural look, reminds me a bit of those massive Michelangelo torsos (no, I am not claiming to be the Michelangelo of photographers, I am still at the paint by numbers stage).
    So I like them both, for different reasons. How's that for a cop out!
