BIG ..

...mountains,BIG sky,BIG lake and BIG storm clouds. Seeing all of the macro shots of my beloved insects...My PUSH partner, Patti challenged me to photograph something big. Landscapes and expanses are wayyy out of my comfort zone..but when I saw the ducks coming forward,,I knew ( or hoped)they would give the image some perspective

[Hope D Jennings]

..I hope I met the challenge, Patti. @swamppoodle THANK you! I needed pushing. :)

[Ness Santvoort]

well done Hope, you've moved out of your comfort zone really well

[Hope D Jennings]

@ness50 Thank you Ness! I appreciate the encouragement

[Cindy Genn]

looks pretty cool to me... and big, and way out of your comfort zone!

[Hope D Jennings]

Thanks Cindy!!!

[Allison]

Considering it's out of your comfort zone, you've done an incredible job.........it's a beautiful capture!

[Scott]

Superb image and you certainly captured the open expanse well in my opinion. And I agree that the ducks help with the perspective but it would have been a beautiful shot even without them.

[Hope D Jennings]

@sbolden Thank you so much, Scott.. Wheww. That made me feel better!

[Hope D Jennings]

@allisonraposa Thank you my friend!

[Connie]

You met the challenge very well.

@connie865 Thanks Connie. It was hard! I have lots of BIG trees up here..but thought taking a photo while laying on my back was too obvious. LOL.
