I used a 100-400 lens for this shot. I am conflicted about the small tree on LR. I think it adds depth and balance, but does it take your eye out of the frame?
Okay, sorry I didn't comment earlier...something was bugging me about this and I couldn't figure it out! I don't mind the little tree on the end as there are other little trees between the bigger ones. I think what's bugging me is that the one directly to the left of the little tree DOESN'T have any little trees and it feels unbalanced to me. However...I'm a very "balancy" kind of gal to take it or leave the comment...
I think you did an excellent job on the blur overall and I love the colors. Aspens.... *sigh*
Joanna, I actually like this alot. The colors are good . The subject is good. The framing is good. What I like about it the most is the bent tree on BR of frame- it's not matchy- matchy and I like that. I'd hang it on my wall!!
Hi Joanna,
This works very well for me also. W/O the small tree..........then the dark area would overpower the scene..........as is ........very nice interplay of tones and colors.
