Hi schell,
great shots really like the colours.
I like #2 you have subject in the foreground, middle and an interesting background.
I would have liked to see more done with the forground maybe a bit of colour....I am no expert but perhaps some flash to give it some more interest bring it into play a bit more.


cheers

Great series, I prefer #1 with the mist and the nicer lighting in the sky.

#1, Dust spots. First thing I noticed. 2nd thing, slight tilt in the horizon. Composition is good but could use a little editing to boost the overall look. such as noise reduction and levels.

#2, I like the colour tones. Compositionally it is good except for the distracting grass in front. The land on the far side is shadowed.

#3 and 4, Pretty much the same. The horizon is almost dead center. Crop the bottom on #4 right under the person standing on the left. Try a crop on #3 a third of the way up from the bottom. The sky in the shot is the most attractive of the image.

Love the colours in the third one ... I think the composition is fine with that one. I wish I was the person in the photo - taking in all the glorious beauty!

The colors are beautiful, although I think these pictures are a bit soft. As to the crop question, what do you think of this?



This is not cropped but warped. I think the problem with the original picture is that the horizon splits the image in the middle. You have to make a decision as to wether the sky is the main subject, or the lonely person standing on the rocks. In my warp I decided for the sky. If you do this with the original picture, make sure the horizon is straight after warping. I think in my example it is a bit curved.

Your my hero!!!!

This is fantastic!!!

I knew as soon as I got it developed that I'd 'cut it in half' but couldn't bring myself to take out the details in the bottom as I felt it took something away from the picture, but you've fixed that for me, yay!!
Thank you so much
