| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #1 August 19th 2005 20:21:32 | Nice shot! I particularly like the way the light falls on the mountains in the top right of the image. The combination of the warmth reddish tones on that hillside also contrast nicely with the blues of the sky/sea and the greens in the foreground. The sky itself is also rather pleasing, scattered cloud always adds interest to any scene IMO. So, what to improve... The slightly tilted horizon is the first thing that strikes me - consider rotating the image 0.83°CCW. Also I'm not entirely convinced by the large expanse of grass in the foreground - although it makes the composition slightly more balanced, it's not very interesting IMO. Also the image seems a bit murky, I know the foreground was in shadow, but I might consider using a gradient fill to brighten it up a little. I also wonder whether a polarizing filter might have added a bit of punch to the sky - but then I'm a high-saturation kinda guy ;) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #2 August 26th 2005 13:39:42 | I largely agree with Adrian on this one. Try a version in which you straighten and crop off some of the bottom. Play with brightness and contrast to bring a bit more 'punch' to the scene. And sharpen to improve the detail. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #4 August 27th 2005 16:31:44 | Hi Graham. I like your new version. I feel like I've walked up closer to the view and that the scene has more zing. I'm thinking that this would have been a good opportunity to shoot a pano - to take multiple frames and stitch them together. That's based on the guess that there's good scenery to both the left and right of what you selected. | |||||||||||||||||||||
