:eek:Hey Denise,
Welcome back to the forum!!! Take a wild guess what I'm going to say......ready.....the composition is very good....the river leads us to the mountain and the trees balance and frame it nicely also. Would a very work better???....maybe.....but unless you had a strong FG element.....probably not as the sky was pretty bland....so you did very well minimizing that too! I like the V the grasses form in the river as that adds another bit of interest.....only real issue here is the light.......it's OK as presented.....but dramtic light is #1 for landscapes.....it can make even the ordinary....extraordinary! Just remember lack of sleep and being at the location early (1/2 hour B4 and after sunrise/sunset) on your future landscape trips......the rest will fall into place. Now was that so bad?;)
Roman, Thankyou for your critique. I will try to post a few more so I know what to look for in the field.
Hey Denise, Nice comp on this. Nicely divided into thirds with alot of interest. You minimalised the sky but didn't cut the tree. Agree with Roman regarding more dramatic light either early or late. Well handled technically.
Simple and a neat composition this is. A neat scene.
Roman said it - its all about light. Early/late hours would make a big difference :)
Dave, Kaushik - Thankyou both for your comments.
Bah, technicals aside, it is a wonderful image and invokes so many many memories from my youth - just a couple of years ago ;) :o
Early and late hours would present a different image; it would not present a different message :D
Thanks for taking me back to a time when I went to Tuolumne a couple of times a year, every year, for several in a row. :D
Cheers, Jay
