Oh, the cover photo of the next #1 selling mystery book! |

Yes, I like your amount of brightening the dark cliff. I was surprised to see so much yellow foliage when I tried brightening the shadows! More than what I remember in person! |

Yes, a different feel. I think less of a generalized scenic. More of an emphasis on one thing, the path through and into (or out of) the woods. |

I prefer this version of your 2 versions because the waterfall is the leading line to the cliff area. On the other hand, your first crop has a much stronger sense of leading my eye to that cliff. |

Nancy and I live in the Kansas City area. Several of the suburbs have vast resources for their population. One of them is parks. The suburb of Lenexa has 27 or so parks, one of which is Craigs Crossing. See https://www.lenexa.com/government/departments___divisions/parks___recreation/outdoor_recreation/parks/craig_crossing_park.
I haven't been to this park yet. On beautiful spring or fall days I'll drive to a park to look for interesting photos. Before I got too unsteady to walk on slippery snow, I'd go out in winter, too, on a day like today! Check out the parks near you, and you might be happily rewarded with some new photo ops! |

This view makes me want to go there! You're enticing us to follow the leading line into the scene. The composition and camera angle work together to create a very pleasing picture. Usual sunny-day photos have a snapshot look, but your daylight shot is evenly lit and reminds me of a painting. I'm happy for you that you were there on an exceptional day.
If I were at that beach right now, I'd be forced to fill up an entire SD card with photos! What a wealth of subject matter! And so many feelings to capture.
The top half is a great scene. The bottom half is a great scene. Together, the two halves go well together. The power of leading lines! |

I do get the dizzy feeling you refer to! I could never ride this one, either! Looking up through the "pointing" trees and tracks has created a leading line perspective. My suggestion to increase this sensation is the crop I made, by putting the tower top nearer the upper left intersection of the tic-tac-toe grid of composition. I'm getting old and forgot the official name of this composition technique! While I was doing the crop, I looked to see what would happen if I lightened the dark parts of the trees by moving the Shadows slider. I love to play with photos, and so in Photoshop ACR filter I also darkened the brightest areas of green and then did the same to the blue of the sky. Of course, now it looks like a different picture with a different effect on the viewer. The leading lines effect is more prominent in your darker photo. I think the more intense colors have distracted in a sense. Or is it just me? |

Oops, my version seems to be blue. I don't know why. Any ideas? |

As I sit down to write these comments, I discover the view out my window is another SNOWY day. It happened overnight. So surprised. I love the way the snow has attached itself to your trees and ground. Those pristine footsteps feel like the point of the picture. They seem to be from 2 people walking towards me. Sort of a reverse leading line!
I should drive over to this park today and try to take a similar image! Conditions are identical!
I feel a loneliness in this scene. That feeling intensified when I cropped off the left-side stream. |
