But, I wish there was a way to make the stream more of a focal point. Perhaps getting closer to it. I think next time I am there, I will work on that approach.

Here is a pic that I found that seems similar to the issues that you raised with yours: http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrick-smith-photography/2835676949/sizes/o/ I like the way he framed it with the up-close surf, but it would be a different picture if he cropped it up.

I am working on getting into some more digital photography too -- if and when I get a decent camera. But I like your shots, and I agree -- Nothing wrong with Photoshop -- it gives you the picture you are trying to portray rather than the one that nature provided. Hey Ryan,

Nice photos. I am working on getting into some more digital photography too — if and when I get a decent camera. But I like your shots, and I agree — Nothing wrong with Photoshop — it gives you the picture you are trying to portray rather than the one that nature provided.

I'm not going to fill my canteen at that stream!" Seriously, though, I had an old man in Japan explain "Ikebana" ("Living flower") arrangement, and how each arrangement had an element pointing toward heaven, a second horizontal element representing earth, and a third pointing down, representing life. The picture with stream has all that in spades! They are both gorgeous! The photo is perfect for cropping into a banner.

Looks so professional! I love both pictures, each has a special appeal. I think the one without the stream is perfect for the blog heading, but the picture with the stream is a perfect picture for framing. I agree without the stream the barn and the mountains are more the focus of attention, but the other is an overall shot of the whole scene. I agree with Lisa, blow it up, frame it, and hang it at the bottom of the stairs. The picture that is at the top of your blog is fantastic! Looks so professional!

The stream in the picture makes me feel like I am there with you. It pulls in more of a foreground feel and make it more intimate. Without the stream is a great postcard type of picture where it is really beautiful but feels more distant to me, so I'm not as involved. Does that make sense? I think the postcard type of shot is perfect as a web page header but I love the way you originally framed it. It really depends on the feel you are trying to get.
