A few shots of the Big Bend National Park. It is nowhere as green and flowery as some of the other parks but has it's own "charm" if you will. Examine numbers 4 and 5 and post your opinion of which is better. The "realistic" shot with the enhancements of man, or the highly edited shot which would have been equally as "realistic" 150 years ago. Are you in the "nothing except what comes untouched out of the camera" group, or like me adopt the idea that post processing tools are the greatest thing since the invention of women. (You thought I was going to say "sliced bread" didn't you)

Really nice. It took a while for me to see the difference in the last two. I like the last better.

I’m of the opinion that power or phone poles are the bane of the landscape photographer’s existence. Unfortunately, in AZ the power poles are getting larger and uglier and more prolific than ever….. it’s more than a little depressing. Clone to you heart’s content… no complaints from this quarter.👍👍👍

It has been a long time (1960's) when I was last there but your photos sure brought back memories. Thanks for posting!

Nice shots, and I really don't see enough difference between the two to comment.

Lovely images. Those are the kind of images I wanted and didn't get!
