Wow. Just checked in to find these photos
... great blade by the way ...
I had tried early on but wasn't able to view the bear photos in the Outdoors thread here on dialup because of the size of the files, but here all photos loaded on the page very quickly. Amazing natural shots in their element ... both the bears and buck. The diffuse purple in back and tall grasses in foreground ... proud animal ... speaks to why the treks into the wild are so worth it. Wonderful captures - both critter pics.
Are the wildflowers called lady slippers ... ? What I have done with verticals is to size the width at 650 or 750 pixels and go with more length ... but whatever works visually for your application ...
Filesize has always been a huge issue for me all along, while working from home office and now even retired because images are a big part of the enjoyment.
I finally have the canoe, Waterpup, marine decals on and hand lettered (oh so kitsch
) and just may post up a couple of pics of joe pie weed and other river wild plants that are blooming now.
Meanwhile, here's Daisy smiling beside the best boy tomatoes on the porch, our shady oasis under the decrepit canopy, protected from the sun by scarlet runner pole beans.
