Description

If the weather here cooperated I'd likely have a favorite that I return to each season. Summer would be this pair. Its a nice challenge to try and improve just a little each time or at least give a slightly different perspective.

I have been trying to practice "proportional representation". Its easy to overstretch the fainter aspects and a little compression is nice as it brings out parts that otherwise would be missed, but too much can start to erode the sense of accurate portrayal.
