70 Nov 21 Comment Hi Mary, thanks for your comments. Indeed, if you love photo salon, composition is one of the biggest score contribution after the impact. That's one of the reason I always provide spare space for cropping during shooting the image.

I always left cropping as the last part of my post processing. I normally did intensive editing in PS editing then did my final cropping in LR before I render it. I even sometimes did a bit of experiment by applying different cropping for entering different photo salons. 		Nov 29th
70 Nov 21 Reply Hi San, I love your genuine response. You must be an honest photographer I have ever know. Hehehe LOL. Nov 28th
70 Nov 21 Reply You right Kathryn. Thanks for your comments. Nov 28th
70 Nov 21 Comment San, to me, this is one of the best in class. I really appreciate how you explore the rim light as your subject. You make this image 'more a life' by adding the hiker.

I suggest you move the hiker a bit forward. Closer to the bright part of the hill. Bright him up a bit with yellowish sun light radiant to make him look more obvious. I normally use eye dropper tool to copy the color and lightly apply using brush.

I partially increase the contrast just to the bright part of the image by using luminosity mask. It might look a bit over saturated in this example. 		Nov 27th
70 Nov 21 Comment Hi Kathryn, this image reminds me of my struggling when taking pictures at Grand Canyon. I was perplexed on what and how to shot. Later from PSA Course (Creating Images for Competition) I learned that the important part of Landscape Photography is to find the subject of the scenery. Some thing that will keep our viewer eyes get engaged (interested).

In this image, IMHO, the most interesting subjects is the brightened part of the rock at the center. I would likely use these as my anchor points to edit then crop. I want my viewer eyes get into these subjects.

The image below is only an example. I think you would find a video by Nigel Danson - 4 Landscape Photography Tips is a good lesson on how to take interesting landscape photos.

70 Nov 21 Comment Hi Pierre, My eyes first get attracted by the bright cloud behind the tree silhouette (at the center) than onto the bright reflection of the curvy part of the land (left off center). To me, this is just awesome. I agree with San's suggestion to brightened the san dune a bit and in addition, I suggest you crop about a quarter part of the empty space on the left to help the viewer eyes come back to see right..

70 Nov 21 Comment Thanks Pierre. With my age, actually, I plan to travel light, especially with less gadgets. I just purchased my first mirrorless and plan to sell my used DSLR. However, last month I shot the wedding ceremony of my close friend's son. I used two cameras with different lens: 24-105 and 70-200 mm. Like you said, I really enjoy having two cameras with different kinds of lens range. So .... instead of going light, now I travel with two cameras in hand. He he he ..... Nov 27th
70 Nov 21 Reply San, thanks for your kind review and sharing about your candid experience. Nov 27th
