Assignment: Reflections

[Gail Spitler]

Hi All
I am not sure what I think about this image and have debated whether to post it or not. I am looking forward to your comments. It was taken with a Canon G10, 1/400 sec at f/4.5, aperture priority, 0 EV, 10.775mm lens (for whatever that means).
Cheers
Gail

Hi Gail, I saw the thumbnail and said, "Wow" the symmetry and leading lines really draw you in and the colors are so rich. It doesn't have the same impact for me when I open it up and perhaps that because it needs to be seen from a more distant perspective (hope that makes sense). In any case, I like it and think it would look great matted/framed and on a wall...

I think I would crop about half of the bottom off to move the horizon away from the middle.

i agree with the crop suggestion. i think it will make it a stronger compo. do i see a blue color cast? love the detail in the trees. nice job!!

[Alfred Forns]

I would try increasing density on the right side to make it look more symmetrical (density wise)
Does have a strong Wow factor !!!

[Thanaboon Jearkjirm]

Clear blue sky, good details in the tree and the icy mountain in the back is a nice touch. Agree with the crop suggestion.

Hi Gail,
I like the double V formation, agree on the crop factor and increasing the density on the right side to make them even...good show...:cool:

[Lance Peters]

Very strong visual V shape/formation - high impact, agree with the commenst above.
Like it !!!

[Gail Spitler]

Thanks for all the suggestions and kind words. I like the suggestion for increasing the density on the right to increase the symmetry. Have to mull the crop suggestion.
Cheers
Gail

[Jeff Cashdollar]

Interesting, some good advise given.

[carole wiley]

Another WOW here. I do agree with the density suggestion, the trees on the left are killer.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Agree with crop suggestions, might de-saturate the blues a bit. Did you shoot in jpeg or RAW Gail?? This makes me think of all the beautiful scenery I saw in the Khutzeymateen Valley near Prince Rupert. DOF seems good for 4.5.
