If I understand you correctly, you think that the tree should not have extended up into the sky. That though is exactly what I wanted. By extending high into the sky it stands out against the sky making a very strong visual statement in the photo. If anything, I should have gotten closer to the tree, gotten down lower and shot up toward the tree as it stood out against the sky. |

Clouds are hard to come by. This was the second of two visits to the park that we made during our stay in SoCal. The first day we did have some clouds. I have included a sunset photo that I took that day. On this second trip I was hoping to see a nice orange sky for a silhouette of a Joshua Tree, but the sky was too clear and had no color. |

I love rural, rustic, weather worn buildings! As Josh pointed out, it does seem to be rather tight at the top. This is a really nice image. Thanks for sharing! |

All too frequently when photographing landscapes we concentrate on the big scene and not the smaller scenes. I know that I am guilty of this. What I like about this image is that it concentrates on one of those small scenes.
What I like about this image, what attracts my eye is the rock and the moving water. There are some very deep shadows that make me wonder what is there. Could these be opened up a tad?
Thanks for sharing. |

There are some highlights that I find distracting. In particular the arm on the right and the face in the background. I would crop out the arm and reduce the brightness of the face. Looking at the exposure information, it seems like you could have reduced the shutter speed allowing you to reduce the aperture for a greater DOF. This would hopefully bring the face in the background in focus. |

I agree with Josh that the top of the head draws the eye away from the glass itself. His suggestion is a good one. I find the image to be rather busy. There is much detail in the background and it is sharp. With the recent lens blur feature added to Lightroom you might try blurring the background a bit. Often what I do is select the background and darken it a bit to deemphasize the background. |

There is a lot to like about this image (I love the reflection in the puddle on the floor), but what really is the center of interest? What really attracts and holds the eye? I find myself jumping back and forth from one side of the image to the other.
Great story about capturing this image! |

Thanks! The intruding Joshua tree can easily be cropped out (or cloned). It is down in the shadows that I never noticed it. Question ... should I crop from the top just a bit to raise the horizon line? |
