About the Image(s)
This is from Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina. It was taken with my Nikon Z camera with my Nikkor Z 28-75 mm f/2.8 lens. I could have used one of my skies, but chose not to change anything-only to enhance the colors to give the viewer the feeling of the disaster which was wrought from this horrific storm.

Nice image from the hurricane's aftermath. I can't think of much to change, maybe crop up just a bit from the bottom. Nice colors and texture. Posted: 11/19/2024 19:25:22
A good commentary photo. I think the title is needed, to understand that this is the after effects of a hurricane. Posted: 11/19/2024 20:57:40
Colour i/r's always intrigue me Debbie. My initial thought was like Nelson's, maybe crop a little off the road and also the right to maintain the format. But then, hurricanes cause widespread damage so why not possibly keep the area as a whole? On this occasion, I fully agree that keeping the original sky is the way to go, both ethically and photographically, to keep some authenticity to the aftermath of the hurricane.

This is quite interesting picture. The story helps to understand it better. Technically well done! Posted: 11/29/2024 20:56:30
Thank you all for your comments. It was, and still is, quite a freakish disaster. This image is haunting-as it captures the devastation, loneliness and example of what was left in Helen's path.
