I agree with Tom, landscape photography allows us all to travel in our minds to locations we might otherwise never see. And every moment is different in time and light allowing for an infinite variety of images and their expression.
You have captured the vastness before you with a beautiful image. I agree that the clouds above add to the interpretation of sunlight in the image. I recently shot many sunrises and sunsets in South Africa and struggle myself with how much light and detail to bring out in the foreground. Your composition with foliage and peaks in the foreground add to the perception of distance overall. Nicely done. |

You certainly brought out many enjoyable features of this image with your post processing. Well done, Butch. I'm okay with the crop, but I think most will focus on the flag, sun, water and sky and not give the foreground as much consideration. But is does add context, as you say. I'm a little distracted by the silver of the base of the flag pole compared to the darkness of the top of the pole. Perhaps add back a little "character" to the lower part of the pole? |

Very enjoyable image, I like the composition very much. My eye is initially drawn to the left side of the frame with it's brightness. I would probably prefer to be drawn to the blossoms first by brightening the blossoms a bit more and muting the frame just a bit. Then my eye explores inside and outside the frame and appreciates all the other details of the vase and the blossom in the corner. I like all the detail in the blossoms with your depth of field. |

I have seen American Whites flying in formation over my house in the Sacramento Valley and also at lakes in the Sierra Mountains with equal pleasure. The challenge here was certainly the exposure as the bird is on the water. Great adjustments and the reflection on the water adds an element of texture to capture the moment. |

Hi Butch. I was two months out from knee replacement surgery so I doubt I could have gotten too low, haha. I did try some, but the background changes. Here's an example... |
