Dave, I just discovered this area from a guy who saw me taking pictures. He told me about it. I have been back to it three times. As it turns out it is only a few miles from my house. I can see me going back on a regular bases.
Frank, I hope that area can remain as it is now. Until the age of 15 I grew up about 15 miles from there near an area which at that time was considered part of the "Great Swamp of NJ" and it looked very similar to that photo. We kids spent a great deal of time there. Now some 65 years later it is mostly housing developments and the swamp isn't swampy any longer. Troy Meadows though listed as a National Natural Landmark is still mostly privately owned. I'm sure there are deed restrictions but we all know how that goes.

Good thought. I just tried it, and I like the dark vignette. I think it helps the image. I am going to play with this shot as B/W and see if a white vignette works, will also work.
I'm glad it might work for you.

Went looking for birds, which was not productive. So I took what Mother Nature gave me.
There is definitely something to like in that shot. I might try adding it a bit of vignette to the sides and bottom. That could give it a feeling of "inside looking out" with the utility wires aiding that look.

Personally the timing of this subject couldn't be better!
15 years ago we moved from Arizona to PA for family reasons. During the move some of our "stuff" got lost. Among those items was my negative files. Yesterday while going through my storage unit (AKA garage) I found one 4X5 negative and of course I want to print it. My scanner wont do 4X5s and 1 negative doesn't justify the purchase of a new one. Is there a service anyone could recommend that will accept a mail in for just one negative?

Please view this not as a defense but as a possible explanation. Bob is not a young man. We all know he is a retiree which would put him in an age bracket known for personality changes. That of course is not a reason to let him back in as he would continue to be disruptive.

B4 u throw money at monitors, fully recognize that... (show quote)
I believe that for photo processing (not video) any of today's basic graphics cards with 2G memory will get the job done. You don't need a super gamer's card for still image work, the graphics in gaming "move'. In other words the image has to refresh incredibly fast for games and that requires a different breed of video card, the image hardly ever has to refresh at all for photos until you make a change. That aside, assume the OP has a decent photo processing set up, what monitor would you suggest?

I was just going to suggest the Asus! I got mine through Amazon for $240 maybe 18 months ago. Purpose built for photo-editing, factory calibrated. I would suggest considering 27 inches though. I use LR and it eats real estate with the various panels (all four sides). I just close three of the panels, but ...
The PA248 has 7 different screen settings 2 of which are "user" modes. One of those I use for everyday browsing with the brightness turned down to give my eyes a break. Of the other available screens one is labeled "Standard" I calibrate the standard screen and keep the brightness turned down for images destined for printing. Another screen is a sRGB mode which is great for judging images for web use.. No it won't give you a full Adobe RGB gamut but neither the web nor my printer will either so, I don't think that it matters all that much for hobbyist use.

I guess a better way to frame my question would have been:
What's some monitors I should consider that would produce good results (not for commercial business) that are at the lower cost spectrum for their class?
or
What's the lowest cost monitors you would recommend?
Some good info here as well for me to consider. Appreciate the advice.

Going those parameters, the Asus PA248Q (around $280) is a pretty decent choice.

When I read the title I wasn't sure if it referred to a ball hit to the opposite field against the wall or a couple of misspelled fishes. Turns out it some guy sneaking his friend past the toll. Ha!
In the end though, I do like the image

A quick note about private enterprise vs living in a free country and voting. In a free country your freedoms are enumerated by law. Voting is one of the benefits of a free country.
On the other hand, private enterprise is governed by the owner ( in the case of a union, agreements between the parties). In the case of a small business, its government is, pure and simple, a dictatorship. To keep your job, you need to meet the expectations of the owner or get fired. Voting for membership is a foreign concept to a small business.
UHH is private enterprise.
