[Leica] IMG: Saturday Snags

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Hi George.


I did correct it, just not as much. If you take a look, the trees on the 
left and right straighten up a bit and the clouds have indeed changed, just 
a bit more subtly. For some reason, and I think this is the reason for your 
comment, the trees along the path seem to still be tilted a bit.

Though the clouds are nice, the distortion and fact that I have to fix it 
will probably make the images not as worthwhile IMO. I don't like to mess 
much with my shots; try to leave them alone as much as possible except for 
traditional darkroom type adjustments.

Thanks for taking a look and for the comment, George.
Best,
Bob

The last one certainly appears more "natural"
I'm curious as to why the second to last
can not be corrected.

because you don't want to lose cloud forms
on the upper right and left?
