Was the 4th picture taken with a polarizer? It's such a nice shade of blue.

Quite possible, but I don't remember.

This is scanned negative, no idea how the color was corrected.

Borek--your photos reminded me of this Pairpoint (reverse painted) lamp:

Too late for the contest, so I'll put them here - a small sampling from my collection of tree pictures. Besides, I wouldn't have been able to decide which one to use.

These pictures didn't make the final cut (or rather, were randomly ruled out) for the Framing contest.

1. This is a picture taken from inside a tiny cave below the "Diving Board" - a rock ledge at the top of a 1000ft cliff face on Half Dome Mountain, in Yosemite National Park, CA. See smaller pictures for location.

2. This picture - looking towards Vernal Falls, from a wooden bridge across the Merced River - was also taken in Yosemite.

3. I like this picture because it is naturally framed by the background and the contrast provided by the shade from the trees, rather than by an object in the foreground. It was taken at the base of Mt Moosilauke, in New Hampshire.

Borek's thread of pictures from Białowieża reminded me of another picture I had that would've been suitable for the 'Framing' contest:

It is a rather hurried picture taken in some nearby woods, during an Orienteering competition.
