You want to make sure you link to the picture, not the page were the picture resides.

And I want to make sure I turn off the Italics

I am not sure what it is that you are trying to show, the black sky or the slight varition in tonal value in the barley field, it might be clearer if the picture was sharp, which it may be in the original print but not in the posted picture, was the sky done thru filtration or digital? Pat

Thanks for the info on how to post. I'll try another one next week. As for the sky, it's a dark stormy prairie sky, with yellow filtration to lighten the field. Kind of occured to me, is this image acceptable within the guidelines or is there to much influence of man in the image? P.S. the photo is shot on 4x5 and sharp, probably the scan or a degradation of the image with the low resolution of the web and the detail in the original image.

I think that the detail, subtlety and depth of 4x5 photos are lost on the Internet. The more pleasing photos here are graphic composition type photos. I would love to see your photo at 16 X 20 and then I could offer better comments on it. The 4x5 photos that succeed here could have been shot as well on 35mm.

Agree with Warren - I think this needs to be dramatically larger in order to critique/appreciate.

As for "Hand o' Man", technically, this violates the rule (cultivated plants are verboten). It hasn't seemed to be a major point of contention lately, though...
