I know that you are impressed with your F30, Moose, and those scenes  
are of course nicely composed, but I couldn't help feeling that there  
was a shortage of colour depth in them.  It might be something else,  
but the colours came out looking somehow artificial on my monitor.  I  
could also see what looked like the results of masking on 2 of the  
horizons.  It was v. skilfully done, much better than I am capable  
of, but there is an edge to hills in 1296 and 1301 and to the woods  
in 1297.

Those were my initial impressions, but I have revisited the site for  
this email and the look is one of a slightly older print in the ones  
of the hills; and the whole scene in 1297 has a decent amount of  
depth to it to give a nearly 3D impression.  Those 2 images have  
grown on me.

However,  the woods seem to be over-saturated, to the point of there  
being some purple in the tree trunks (now you will tell me that that  
was the colour in that scene ;-)).

I like the colour, composition and overall look of 1295.

It was an interesting set of images to study, thanks, Moose.
