    Default Not sure if this works...



    Snow Geese in mist at Bosque

    I am not sure if this works or not so would value peoples thoughts good or bad.

    Canon 50D, 500 f4 + x1.4, 1/1250, f16, iso400

    Be as brutal as you want, I can take it :D

    Tell- It certainly works for me. I love the dreamy feel provided by the haze and colour temp, and I like the layering effect. The only thing I might try is an alternative rendition where the image is rotated CCW to level things up.

    I like it although I might crop off a little bit more at the top.

    Let's talk about John's comments about "leveling things up".

    I've been to Bosque several times and darned if I can remember a distant hill or mountain area that presents as level when I'm standing there looking at it?

    I like the mood in this one and CCW rotation would be worth a try. I took the midtones to 0.85 and cropped a bit off the top.

    I hear Jim about the hills but the eye feels tricked and uncomfortable with a lopsided hill.
    I like the original color, though, foggy is foggy and blacks get washed out.
    It works for me.

    Tell, I like the mood in this. Amazing colours through the mist, and Axel's recrop works well.

    I prefer Axel's repost, but the winning image here would be to have pointed the camera down quite a bit, perhaps enough to include all of the bushes while placing the birds near the top 1/3 or 1/4 of the frame.... As captured, the COMP is terribly unbalanced.
