Hi Stu,

 

Apologies for late response.  I was there on business and met with some old friends.  Hopefully will have more unscheduled time next time around.

 

Best regards,

Lars

a little over processed and the horizon could use a slight tilt.  But a nice composition...

[Jeffry Abt]

Good image, thanks!

[larsv]

Thank you, Adam and Jeff.  @ Adam:  horizon is straight as can be.  Hardly any processing, apart from b/w conversion.

Is Adam talking about the flag-edge glow, against the sky?

Yes, the stars are glowing bright in these dark days I also like the composition and the b/w conversion is very good. If you look closely, you might see that the horizon is indeed not straight. But the one thing that I really don't like that much is the big blown out patch of the sun. 

[larsv]

Yes, now I see the edges as well.  Too much sharpening I guess.

[larsv]

Actually, now that I had a chance to look at the file OOC: the RAW and OOC file already has that glow around the edges of the pole.  Maybe somebody with more tech knowledge than me might help out here.

Hi Lars again,

I wouldn't worry too much.  A nice image anyway...we are a picky lot.

Sometimes overblown sun is OK, as there is nothing we can do about it anyway!

cheers  Dave S

Lars,

 

a nice image with its cinematic touch. No problems with the "edges".

[A miller]

yes, I was referring to the halo around the flag, what my eyes continue to see as a slight tilt to the left and the large hole in the upper left representing blown highlights.  All are imminently fixable, except for the blown highlights, which unfortunately is a product of the digital camera.  B&W film would have rendered this much more pleasing.
