Great shots Ed. Skyline has changed a lot since I took a series of shots from the river looking into downtown. One of these days I should take those old photos out of their frames and digitalize them. Excellent use of the 67/200mm. I have that lens and like it a lot--sharp, sharp, sharp.

# quick comments: Great visual rhyming on #3. Curiously curved reflections in number 1....I wonder what caused them? I'd love to see # 2 with some perspective correction---the top of the building and the sky are rather spooky. #3 is probably best w/o perspective correction, by contrast.

Of course, always excellent production from you. Sadly, yours and several others' work here are one of the significant inhibitors(although not the major one---paranoia is one and contractual prohibitions are the main ones...) to my posting anything. But I guess I'll have to figure out some way to post something this summer, just not my main work.

....

A slight breeze will distort the peaks and troughs of the otherwise sinusoidal water waves, canting them slightly from perfect horizontals.

Variations in the wind levels across the surface of the water, variations in reach (the length of open water over which the wind operates) and variations in the camera's perspective (looking down on the foreground waves but straight across the tops of the farther waves) also affects these kinds of reflections.

Interesting! Good to know the reason for this, as it's certainly not something I caused in post... Thanks!

Thanks for your message! I will take a look at perspective adjustments again on that shot.

As for your work, that's very flattering, but you are being too modest - love to see your work too!

The sand dunes cyclops. A 2013 single frame that fell out of its archive sleeve at some point while handling a bunch of 3-ring binders full of film. It was some work to find where it belong. So I took it as a sign to scan it.

Because the curvature switches sign between left and right, I assumed it was barrel distortion.
