If you get an unwanted 'like' and it isn't corrected, take your photo down and then re-submit. That'll clear it.

Cheers :)

I have a couple of solid contenders from my early 4x5 era. This was one of my earliest efforts. The Yoho River from an extended hike between Emerald Lake BC and Takakkaw Falls BC. As I recall left the Tripod head in the car to save weight and had one leg of the pod extended well into the river to get the angle I wanted.

This was shot ~1975, with a Linhof Technika camera, Slick tripod, Schneider Xenar 127mm lens, ƒ-32 @~1/10 sec. Film(?) souped in Ilford Microphen developer.

Linhof used to have a beautiful magazine devoted to large format and the Linhof equipment, do you remember what it was called? Printing was photo gravure I think, exquisite.

Sorry, I didn't stick the Nature part of the theme, missed that. There is a tree and some bushes though.
