Graham, I stand corrected. I just went back to the full rez photo and pixel peeped. It is ,indeed, a crane of some kind. Good eye. My assumption of the Arlington skyline was false. Thanks for the observation.

Good point, Graham. Actually , its a radio tower. I considered removing but decided to leave it in, as it was an architectural landmark, as it were, of the Arlington cityscape. |

Thank you, Jennifer. Actually, the memorial is centered, at least mathematically, on the image frame. Although my camera position was centered with the Wash Monument at my back ,the foreshortening of the reflecting pool did not produce a perfect trapezoid, which, in turn, give the illusion Lincoln is a little left of center (which he was;)

Good work, Lance.The subtle drama in the sky gives this image more depth and impact. |

Graham, This is a nicely composed image. A good choice of aperture keeping the subject area sharp and separating the background with a slight fall off. Your choice of B&W toning gives this image a feel that is was shot in the 30's depression era. You could, perhaps, tone down the hot spots, just a touch, to recover some texture in those areas and to keep the views eyes from wandering from the subject. Then print it on a nice mat art paper. |

Lance, This panoramic image, to me, is about the shapes and textures of the scene. The sloping foreground tree line gives this scene depth. The craggy mountain ridge line reminds me of a stock market graph. It is an image view I would enjoy, gazing upon from the window of my chalet in Chamonix. I would, however, like to see a little more contrast between the ridge line and the, otherwise, flat white sky. The center slope, between the mountains, appears to blend. A touch more burning on the slope area to separate it from the sky, I belive, would do the trick. Perhaps this is due to the low res image I am scrutinizing on a 5K monitor. I would love to see the printed rendering of this image. I suspect it would look spectacular, printed large, matted with a black frame. |

A very interesting and compelling image, Jennifer. The landscape behind the glacier, on its own, would have been photo worthy, nicely composed, with all the textures and the strong diagonal thrust of the mountain. It looks almost monochromatic with a blue tint. Framing it with the glacier is the icing (no pun intended) on the cake, to take this photo to the next level. It not only frames the scene, but serves as a foreground object to complete the scene. The color and texture of the glacier ice also makes this image more vibrant. This is a beautiful image.
One minor distraction, however, is the red object on the horizon line. Presumably, it is the shelter you mentioned. most viewers will not have the benefit of that explanation. The object is too small to be identified and looks out of place in that environment. Since you may not have the immediate opportunity to retake that shot, standing slightly to the left, the clone stamp tool could be an easy remedy. |
