The size was meant for Instagram, the processing is all me. Thank you for the tips, I am still learning. Feedback is always welcome and necessary.

Thank you for the feedback, I had no idea lifting the shadows would actually give it a better sharp feel. Thanks again for the feedback. Should I post a new version? or leave it for next month, I'm not too sure what the rules are for double post?
Beautiful downtown Rhyolite revisited ....

It's the 'photo-of-the-day thread'. So you can post a new image every day. I don't think people would mind if you posted a new version on the same day. Just to keep the discussion going.
Stick it back up. I wouldn't mind seeing it again - helps me know I am not giving you a bum steer too.

Comments always appreciated. Difficult to get a good angle on these falls - that's about a 60-foot drop. Lack of water doesn't help either!

Think you need to get your Speedos on and get in there...
Really liking the colour palette of Scotland right now. Shame the angle is so acute as that looks like a lovely gentle falls to capture.
Not so much a Speedos problem Ken- getting down the gorge is pretty challenging anywhere near this point. This is a beautiful spot in autumn and the surrounding woodland is filled with spring flowers at the moment. The smell of wild garlic is overpowering in some places though!Think you need to get your Speedos on and get in there...

Keep the colours, please. We'll be visiting scotland (again) this summer. So please leave something for me.
I agree. HDR processing of an already well-lit scene seems to create all kinds of unwanted artifacts. I just think "HDR"... and hardly notice the landscape...
The English at play...

I must have fired off around 300 shots and had about 6 that I thought were good enough. Truth be told, it was Red Kites and they swoop down so quick that the 60D and 70-200 f4L couldn't really cope. Maybe in better light I'd have been able to use a faster shutter and tone down the ISO a bit. Obviously a faster, longer zoom would've made a difference. Overall though, photographing birds in flight just didn't do anything for me. I didn't get much out of it intrinsically.
The way I feel about macro is the same about BIF - I just don't get much from it. I have had some good shots, but can't be bothered with all the faffing about haha!
Maybe I'm just too used to landscapes and others probably feel the same about it. I know a few folk into photography who give me some looks when I say I've waited for hours on a hill once just to grab a single shot. It's obviously not their cup of tea!
I am definitely of the wait on a hillside for a landscape persuasion.
Yes, thank you, I would love another reason to lust after he 70-200 f2.8!!!
BTW @Mark0 Colin Prior is as you would hope, a very nice guy.
I think BIF is OK but not my gig. I would be more satisfied with a nice panoramic landscape shot like you do.

I love panoramics and Colin Prior was the driving force behind that for me back in the 1990's. Speaking of panoramics, my last batch of panoramic film wasn't great! I was a stop or three out which is deadly on Velvia 50. This was because I was using the X-T2 for metering. The ISO values are different to the Canon I'd used before. I'll need to compensate a lot more than I thought and adjust my bracketing next time round. I get 4 shots per roll, so normally bracket the 4 shots for each scene.
I got two good frames from 1 of the 5 rolls I shot. It was only good because I'd forgotten to reset the manual aperture after using the ground glass to compose, so shot the photo at f5.6 rather than f16 by accident! I think there might be enough sharpness at infinity hyperfocally but will need to see on the lightbox with my loupe to be sure. The slide looks sharp to my eye, but the proof will come from seeing it with my 10x loupe. If it's good, I'll post it here.
I'm so annoyed because it wasn't even the roll featuring the best light! Oh well!
Just a horned toad .... would have missed him if he didn't move ...
