Nice image conveying strong convective activity and a sense of foreboding. I would leave the power lines in; IMO they provide a sense of scale/distance. Well done.
Thanks for the 'Like' and helpful suggestion. I did remove some noise, but perhaps not enough. The larger file looks great, perhaps the compression to stay within the 7mb limit of the site amplifies some of the remaining noise. Nonetheless, your critique is right on the mark.
The rocks are know as 'Tufa' and are a form of limestone....at least that is what I recall reading on a placard near the lake :-)
Many thanks for your 'Like' and kind words. While I am still very much a Df user, I found the recent drop in price (at least in the U.S.), due to the roll out of the D850, was too good to pass up. The kit with the 24-120 was like getting the lens nearly free. However, the main reasons I purchased one was: the articulating screen. As another birthday passed, and more appear in the rear view mirror than on the horizon, I decided I no longer enjoyed laying on the ground for low angle perspectives. The pop-up flash is really handy too. In this photo I used the pop-up and pulled it back to - 1.7EV to expose the foreground brush. So, for the price of D850, I got a slightly older technology (much like myself) camera, great lens, same recording media (SD) as my beloved Df, and a trip out West to play with it! Overall, a great birthday present to myself :-) At least that's how I rationalized it!
Best regards,
Robert
