Frame isn't mine....original  has no border.

This image was shot with a D800 I had just purchased.

I shoot a lot of what I call Skyscapes.

When I reviewed this shot I was blown away by the

detail in the jets contrail.  I started to experiment

with the image.  The circle is an artifact from the lens.

I can't figure out what the second half circle, lower right and

the two dark areas in the center of the are.

I think I shot it with my 70-200mm 2.8 Nikon lens.

I use this lens A LOT.

The D800 does not hide any thing and certainly not  lens artifacts.

I am open to adapting any image I shoot.  I get a strong feeling when an image works

and when it does not work.  I 'm careful about retouching portraits.

I've executed a couple of $40,000 photoshop face lifts which clients did not appreciate.

I now request feedback from the client on the amount of retouching they desire.

       Emily L. Ferguson - Reaching: Crop out the scraggle on the bottom and top-rght and it will work for me, as titled. Otherwise, I'm simply asked to admire the growth of a tree...by no means an unreasonable request.
       Yoram Gelman - Tracks Over Hill: Lines. Horizon. Ooh, sepia. Sharp contrast is balanced by delicate clouds...nice touch.
       Art Faul - Gorgeous overlay on the car...shadow looks crap. No doubt this sells as a web image.
       John Palcewski - Round Two - Great photo. The nature of the moment is captured perfectly here. If you build a time machine, go back and get rid of that light at the top of the frame. But, I gather, you'd be too lazy to do this.
       Allan Rosen-Ducat - Love it. No idea what it is. But I do despise the 1-pixel frame around it. Would be better to fade to black.
       Randy Little - Fantasitc stunning colors. I think the trees on the left could have been dodged a bit for balance. Gorgeous landscape.
