The view from my office window – take 2 & 3

Take 2

Avi commented that the ‘background is entirely nondescript’ so I reworked the photo in photoshop with a different background. This one is a lot more dramatic.
Take 3

Then I tried with a completly pale blue sky.

I think my favorite is still the original. The cloud version takes away from the focus – the hill side, flowers, sheep and dog. The pale blue sky is also good, but the original has the added advantage of the pale hills in the distance, drawing the eye across the picture.

As always, comments welcome.

Calnit, Sheep, and Dog

Looking out the window of my office, I saw this incredible view. Grabbed my camera the next day and was able to capture the Calanit’s, the sheep, and the dog herding them.

P.S. Calanit (Hebrew) = Anemone coronaria, in Israel known as a sign of spring.
