The WB does look odd but I read that you want to present it that way. It makes sense that the blue sky is responsible, although I think our brains automatically process it as white. Some cultural aspect too, where we are simply used to seeing snow presented as neutral wite. Not the yellow stuff, but that's a differnt topic ;-) Anyway your shots project COLD so I can switch off accurate and think of them as an impressioism or whatever the art term ought to be. Cool! As for your annoyed sheep; no wonder he's cranky! Some lowlife drive by wolf posse or someone has jacked him up on blocks and stolen his legs! 2010/1/11 lkhermann <lkhermann at bresnan.net> > > Hi LUG, >> >> It is a new year, perhaps we should post more photos and less cheap shots >> at Leica or the choice of our photo album.
