4 Dec 18 Comment A beautiful image. The lighting is great and you've retained detail in the shadows. Excellent job. Dec 30th
4 Dec 18 Comment Erik shared this image with me several dats ago. It's one of those moments when everything comes together at one time and place. The subtle path brings your attention into the scene without you even realizing it. We have since tweaked this image and made more awesomer. If that's not a word it should be. Dec 30th
4 Dec 18 Reply I helped him in Post. Dec 30th
4 Dec 18 Comment Hmmmm. Interesting! My first thought was a print by Andreas Gursky's Rhine II that sold for 4.3 million dollars. Your image has a unique flow to the lines as if it were a river. There are little specks of color adding to the image. I wonder if that splash of red across the top is drawing our eyes out of the image. That's my feeling.

4 Dec 18 Comment Beautiful image. Being busy works. My eye, like the river flows upward toward the bright blue bridge beyond. Erik and I have been tinkering around with Aurora 2019 recently. This is an HDR software. We recently processed on image instead of three and the results were quite remarkable. The One! Software did a great job on a single exposure. Just for a try and see, I processed you image as a single exposure in Aurora 2019, settings, Cool Landscape. It did remove the overall warm tone. Dec 30th
4 Dec 18 Comment I like the composition and repeating diagonal lines. The splash of red does not bother be. I would like to see the bright area at the bottom toned down somewhat. Dec 30th
4 Dec 18 Comment Out of chaos comes beauty. Being one that never leaves an image untouched, (well, almost always) I'm tempted to create some visual point in which others support. Visually, my eye is drawn to the two windows in the upper right. It's almost like a big brother, little brother arrangement. Dec 30th

44 Dec 18 Comment One cannot come away with a bad image at this iconic location in the Tetons. I would have moved just slightly to center the cross on the mountain and eliminate the slight merger. (my nit for the day) This may have changed the perspective of the pathway too. Overall a good exposure and composition. Dec 31st
44 Dec 18 Comment I really like your tight composition of this scene. It may be a bit flat and lacking some contrast and perhaps some added Clarity may help. Arches is one spot you want to go solo or as a friend once said, "it's like herding cats."

Here's a hint for anyone going back. Google the location of Corona Arch. It's not within the park. It's out the road to Potash and is a fairly easy 1 1/2 mile hike. The beauty is, no people most of the time.		 Dec 31st
44 Dec 18 Comment Considering your problems with this scene you actually came away with an acceptable image. I couldn't resist tinkering around with a couple of filters. First I applied Topaz AI Clear. That sharpened the image and improved the building details. It did make the water take on a cyan color in the shadows. That was fixed in Adobe RAW. I then went to Luminar 2018 and adjusted the sky with their AI Sky enhancer. Perhaps too much sharpness? Dec 31st
44 Dec 18 Comment I like to overall concept and composition. please don't be offended but to me, it lack some oomph. Perhaps some added contrast and the reflection in the water might be strengthened. This is one of those images where almost anything goes. Dec 31st
44 Dec 18 Comment Oh how I love this spot. I have the Tetons of Facebook and look forward to their daily images. The stream does a great job of leading your eye into the scene. I'm glad you removed that piece of wood on the right. Rick's comment about the softness of the mountains is quite interesting. I was so focused on the barn and stream the mountains became secondary. But, he is correct and it's something to watch for in the future. Dec 31st
44 Dec 18 Reply Actually I didn't attempt to remove any however your example has inspired me to give it a try. Question: did you remove small amounts at a time? It would seem if you tried to remove the entire post it would be problematic.
