Uploaded: August 31, 2003 09:50:29
On a Maui, Hawaii, beach in early morning, shot from the 10th floor balcony at our hotel, November 2002. This is the same photo as one I posted a few days ago, but this one does not have the simplifier filter applied.

I didn't see the other one, but I sureCarolyn M. Fletcher August 31, 2003
Both great!! #183407Murry Grigsby August 31, 2003
Covering your bases, Eh :0) Great image either way, Patricia! Guess which one I like the best? #183419Jean Papo August 31, 2003
I too didn't see the other one,but think this is GREAT, Patricia! #183443Patricia Marroquin August 31, 2003
Thank you so much, Ann, Carolyn, Murry and Jean.Murry, yes, if I'm just not sure which photo looks best (a slightly buzzed version of something or the original), I submit them both. :-) And I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you like the unbuzzed version better. :-) It is true that the simplifier filter seems to work best with foliage. #183484

Thank you, Bill! It was scary taking these shots. I was on a very narrow balcony, putting my camera through the bars of the wrought-iron railing. :-) #183578Suzie Strasburg August 31, 2003

Great shot, Patricia... I like the slightly buZZed version better! #183689Patricia Marroquin August 31, 2003
Thank you very much, Suzie and Ellen! It's always so interesting when you ask for opinions on which version someone likes. You get such different answers. ... Murry, I'm still waiting to hear which version you, the buZZ master, liked better. :-) #183791Darren K. Fisher August 31, 2003
