Jackson Creek (sans LensBaby)
Posted by john4jack (Corvallis, Oregon, United States) on 11 January 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Here is another shot in the Jackson Creek area but without the LensBaby. That is fog (not blowout) in the background.

This rocks, Jack. The vibrancy leaps from my screen and pulls me in for a journey of exploration. It really feels as though I am part of a vivid dream, traipsing through the dense foliage in a glorious fairy tale world.
So beautiful how Mother nature reclaims what is hers. Superbly observed and presented, and the rolling fog really enhances the ambience.

This is nice. I like this better than with the LensBaby. You can feel the moisture in the air and the soft earth under your feet.

@Steve Rice: I like it better too, Steve. But I'm going to still spend time with the LensBaby until I develop a modicum of proficiency. It's too soon to put it away.

On s'attend à voir surgir des aliens..I'am afraid !! ces couleurs sont très particulières, et créent une atmosphère angoissante.

@Marcah: It is a lush rain forested area.
JJ from Jersey City, United States
Such lush green colors so beautiful there, I like both shots but I think i tend to prefer the lensbaby one

@JJ: What is there about the other photograph that you prefer?
Laurie from New Jersey, United States
The greens are so intense. Nice atmosphere.

@Laurie: I applied a Velvia look to the image. Lots of people don't like this degree of intensity; others do.

I agree with JJ. While this is a nice shot, I prefer the Lensbaby shot over this one. I think it is more interesting and the LB adds to that interest. With the LB shot you have a slightly sharp focus at the entrance to the bridge, which becomes blurred as you cross it taking you off into the unseen distance. With the sharp focus in the central part of the image making one want to diverge from the trail and take the path least taken. That's my take, anyway.

@Toni: Thanks, Toni; it's been fascinating seeing what people prefer.
