I shot a bunch of pictures during the recent ice storm here. Here are
a few unedited images that I like and might try to tweak. Anyone think
they are worth it or should they go in the recycle bin?

Exactly in order - the first one is fine as it is. *You would boost
the blue channel a tad, but it's great just like that. *I really like
pattern combinations against the blue sky. *Nifty image.

Might want to experiment with this one a little. *It's neat and the
lens bloom doens't hurt it at all. *Might want to use sharpening
unmask control to make it a little more sharp without compromising the
over all effect. *As it's a fairly large image, a couple of crops
would take the one image and turn it into two - starting on the right,
go jus to the left of the tree with the broken branch - snip it and
paste it as a new image. *You could also crop to just below the wall
and leave that as it is. *That would be really neat looking.

Might want to convert it out to grayscale - not sure how that would go
and I wouldn't presume to try it for you, but the effect would be
startling.

This could have been a good one, but the focus problem with the
berries closest to the lens kind of ruins the over all effort. If you
look at it center on, the out of focus berries confuse the eye against
the background. *A macro lens would have been a real help here.

Great composition though - just a couple of minor issues that mess it
up.

Just my opinion you understand. *

Must live out west of me or maybe a little NW. *We didn't get any of
that here in the NE corner of CT.


If you have the time and inclination I'd be happy to see you what you
would do with the image. I am definitely lacking in the lens
department, I only have the kit lens.

I'm not too far from you here in Leicester, just north of the Mass.
Pike. Here are a few disaster pictures from around my neighboorhood.
