96 Feb 24 Reply Thanks Gloria,
It is always a struggle for me when I do landscapes not to include too much in the photo. I want the viewer to experience everything that I am experiencing.
I have to remind myself that "the main thing such be the main thing"
I actually was handholding the camera. I walked outside on the walkway at the right time and thought it was very beautiful.

Thank you so much. It was a peaceful time on the river front in Savannah, Ga. The bugs however were awful!! They bite and fly around your nose and mouth. LOL.

I did edit LR to lighten the building since it was at sunset. I was in a hotel across the river from the hotel. The sky was as you see it. Thanks for the critique.

96 Feb 24 Comment Hello Gloria,
I see what you are trying to convey but I think there is not enough contrast. I find mt eyes wondering all over the photo with no clear focal point. I am missing out on that sense of mystery and foreboding that you refer to. Good try though.

96 Feb 24 Comment Hello Haru,
Thank you for such a wonderful photograph. I immediately feel the cold austere look of the photo. The light is not a distraction at all. It helps draw the viewers eyes down through the trees unto the shadows on the snow. There is definition in the shadows and you captured the rising fog perfectly. Great job!

96 Feb 24 Comment Hello Robert,
Could it work if you reduced the number of focal points in the photo? I see several areas the seems to attract the eyes as you look at the photo. I agree with you that the eyes go to the brightest part in the photo which in this case is the snow. Maybe you could consider breaking the image down to several shots instead of one. I think that once you eliminate some of the elements that distract, you might be able to balance the colors better since the tonal range would not be so extensive.

96 Feb 24 Comment Hi Sharon,
From one newbie to the other, Welcome to the group. Though I live in Georgia which is as far from the northwest as it can be. I envy you for the opportunities to wander around in nature. Your photo is such an example. I am new at this so I leave room to be corrected. What is the area you are directing the viewer to? Is it the person in the canoe? The buildings? The trees? or the mountains? My eyes sort of wander around the entire picture. There is a soft focus on the water and the mountain. The Trees seem to be the sharpest thing in focus. Was 2.8 aperture the best choice for this shot? All these are just questions for your consideration. What do you think?
