  Thank you, Karen! I’m still working on the horizon area, think I’m close to done on the sky. I photographed this four different times – for some reason, it’s very hard to get a photo that is close to the original. All the blue, I guess.

  Ah, Regina. Yes, very lovely skies in Texas and you are doing great with them! This is a great view with the houses, too.

  Blue is very hard to get a true photo. This looks good here.

  Thank you, Jo! Yellow seems to be difficult to photograph too. Any tips on sun or filters to use?

  My sister (who does not post) saw this and wondered if it was headstones… obviously, I have a lot more work to do here.

  I think it is the reflective quality of pastels – I scan most of mine and sometimes they just give me fits. Wished I knew more about Photoshop to correct it especially for prints.

  Hi,

  These clouds are just great, featuring a good interpretation of values and a convincing perspective.

  Best regards,

  José
