Stuart Caine	I like the mood and color, but the mountains seem to get lost in the bright clouds.
Dean Hellinger	A view we see from time to time, The wide print is essential for such beauty. I was wondering about the trees, is there detail somewhere?
Eleanor Helper	Another wonderful landscape! The panorama format suits the composition nicely. You surely captured the storm’s doom & gloom. The two (?) tree clump on the right third (horizontally) complements the small shrub on the left third. No suggestions.
Burt Hesselson	I appreciate the colors and the mood, but do not think there is enough interest in the entire image to bring it up to the standards of all the other really good photos you have shown us. I do like it better flipped like this.
Donn Miertl	Great shot.
Tim Christoffersen	Very nice image. I especially like the contrast between the ‘stand of trees’ (?) on the right center and the small green bush in the lower left center. On my monitor the center of the clouds above to the left of the ‘stand of trees’ and right of the rain seems blown out as my eye goes there. I think it might have strengthened the ‘stand of trees’ if you had drawn out some additional detail. On my monitor less than ½ the ‘stand of trees has any detail.

Member Biography

Larry Beller - Photographic Biography My primary photographic interests have always been pictorial and landscape photography, interests that are abetted by living in retirement on the banks of the Snake River in the mountains of eastern Idaho, an hour from the Tetons and two from Yellowstone. I am gradually renewing my interest from long ago in informal portraits of people and in architectural photography I compete in PSA-recognized exhibitions in digital projected color and monochrome, and in both color and monochrome prints. I have one star in PPD monochrome print competition from a long time ago....1968, three recent stars in EID color and two in monochrome. Such competition helps make up for the lack of any PSA member camera clubs in eastern Idaho. This Study Group is a big help, as well. I use a Nikon D80 DSLR with a variety of lenses, the most important being an 18-200 VR (stabilized) Nikor. I use an Epson 4490 scanner for digitizing slides and prints, an Epson 2200 printer, and a Dell Optiplex 745 computer with 4 GB of RAM and 3 TB of disk space, and a ViewSonic 19-inch LCD monitor. My software includes Adobe CS4 and Lightroom 2.
