Don,

Can you do me a favor and wait until summer to post these cold pictures. :lol:
Great landscape, and cityscape. Just think in just another 9 days the days will start to get longer. I like the composition, and frigid desolation of the river shot.

The second one is awesome. Really shows that you are an artist at heart.

[Don Schaeffer]

Why thanks guys. In a few days, I'm going to New York where it is much warmer.

The second photo is very nice. Well balanced and not overly processed. Oh and just a side note, the temps down here are pretty low right now.

Hey Don...the second one has a very interesting composition with a very appealing set of colors all around.
On he other hand what PP did you did? I ask because for my eyes there is strange color saturation all over, for me is way to hard how colors merge with each other, also it seems to have a very hard sharpening of some sort that makes the picture almost look as it was painted, don't know if these two aspects were part of the original idea of the picture and were done intentionally to cause this type of effect.

I use paintshop pro. I did saturate a little and added a line draw function to sharpen edges.
