You are a funny man Monte 🙂
Though I am glad the CNS worked out so well for you. Excellent tones, beautiful contrast, nice dynamic range… You obviously threw in some extra noodles.
Monte Stevens
And, no noodles on my keyboard. 🙂

Interesting in that it almost looks like a negative… dark sky, light foreground and subject. Pretty dramatic stuff!
Monte Stevens
Thanks, John. We can see skies like this out on the plains, where I enjoy going.
Steve Skinner
Monte, I especially like the feeling of power and strength the image creates.
Monte Stevens
Blame it on the soup.
Tom Dills
Excellent! And I love the fact that the tree is in the dead center of the frame, which of course is perfect placement because it works, and because it challenges that stupid rule!
Monte Stevens
Very true, Tom.

I have to say, I’m a little shocked you could have even considered for a moment that Cedric could have been wrong! 🙂
This photo has Bonnie’s seal of approval so there’s nothing more I could add. I’m going to try your post-processing technique as soon as I get to the local market.
Monte Stevens
I stand corrected for my doubts. 🙂 What was I thinking?

This may be a whole new thing … What would the photo look like if you had clam chowder? Ramen noodles? I do like what you ended up with having the chicken though. It does have an infrared feel.
Monte Stevens
Now that you mention it, it does have an infrared feel to it.
