Jay, the composition really draws your eyes into the scene. I think it'd look great with just the foreground - wonderful textures and subtle colors there.

Hey Jay, great to see posting again...hope to see many, many more new posts from you.
I love the cracked mud...so cool and draws the viewer right into the image...my only suggestions are to perhaps darken the most distant mountains just a tiny bit and perhaps adjust the darkest blue in the sky - top edge center (maybe try selective color and reduce the blacks on both blue and cyan)
Hi Jay, I like what you have done here. its a very nice image, although as you might have gathered from my previous post I am a lover of mountains. As such my approach with this shot would have been to shoot landscaped instead of portrait probably from a lower POV and longer glass to try and increase the amount of mountain in the shot with respect to the amount of mud. Going lower would still maintain the flaked mud full width in the foreground which I agree is an important draw into the image... thanks for showing..
Mate, good to see you posting again!
Love the composition here, really good depth and taking the viewer right through.
I do feel it might be a tad on the "light" side overall, a slight adjustment to overall luminosity should provide more tonal depth, particularly in the mountains and sky.
Cheers!

Hi Don, While that might be both of our approaches at a different time, this was specifically a TSE 24mm workshop; as such I didn't even carry any other glass! Curious how high you think I was when I shot this? Answer the question for yourself; actual height about 1 1/2'! Cheers,

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts; for some reason I did not receive emails when replies were posted except for the first reply! Yes, I will post more; that is a promise. Cheers,

I love that the beautiful mountain-scape is juxtaposed with the sorry state of the low reservoir. It tells two stories simultaneously, of mountain beauty and water shortage. The Colorado Rockies experienced similar drought conditions, but now, most of the state is back to full reservoirs (the Southeast still suffers). Anyway, it's an elegant message, documenting conditions. For my wall, I'd rather not see the reality of the cracked mud, but to document the extremes, you've hit the nail on the head.

Hi Jay - welcome back! I really like the parched earth here and the leading lines. Nobody else has mentioned it but I might back off on the sharpening (or the Detail Extractor if you used it) on the scree hill to the right and the water just a bit.

Hi Rachel, Thanks for taking the time to comment. Only a bit of sharpening; that is the beauty of a TSE lens!
