I agree there are some good images in the mix.
With this mandate, scenes don't convey, a convincing ones looking up

Scenes do not allow the mandate to work.

The duck - scenes haven't demonstrated the mandate.

Well I apologize for not having made that demonstration more obvious for
you. However, even though each of the three scenes I shot might not have
demonstrated the mandate to you, each was shot with the mandate in mind.
#1 was shot from over 1,600 ft looking down across the hills to Morro
Bay in the distance, at sea level. A clear demonstration of the mandate.
#2 was shot looking down on San Martin Rock from the road on the cliff
face some 216 ft above. I was certainly looking down for that shot.
#3 changed direction and was shot looking up from 290 ft. at the trees
above me to the mountain top some 2,500 ft. above me. From where I was I
couldn't have looked up more if I tried.

I had hoped that the differences in elevation would be more obvious to
most observers than you were were able to discern.

Thanks for taking some time to comment, my comments will be along in the
next day or so.


You shouldn't have to apologise the scenes are impressive.

I know what you are thinking and I have even taken some shots looking up
at some steps on a bush track with a heap of people climbing, but it
didn't convey what I seen. Not till I got further back and included top
and bottom did it give the impression as to how far the top was away.
When we flatten a scene it doesn't help.
