Apparently it was a steam explosion, not magna. Time estimates vary from 800 to up to 7,000 years ago. The crater is about 600 feet deep and a half mile wide. This distance is deceiving. I thought I could walk around much of it and found it was much longer than it appeared. The surrounding area is almost a black, moon like surface with some scattered bushes. The color reflects the rock layers. Silt from the sides is filling in the bottom gradually. The little specs are plants probably four feet high. |

What you see here is pretty much what it was. I have moved away from highly saturating images. I would be interested in your processing approach though |

I think you are a brave soul taking that image. Your management of DOF was great. I like the colors in the image and am ok with a bit of keystoning of the buildings which to me adds some dimension to situation you were in. I agree with Larry that the ray of light looks artificial and a bit distracting. The direction of the light on the clouds and buildings seem to be different as well. I would suggest just slightly bringing out more shadow detail in the red building. That said, I really enjoyed this shot. |

I think the opportunity to capture the partially obscured sun was well seen. I am ok with the trees on the right since to my eye the brightness of the sun balances them, but I agree with Larry that the tree on the left feels crowded. I initially thought Mt Hood was not a factor but then see the reflection of it in the lake so it does add interest to the image. I also like the hints of light on the foreground rocks. The orange reflection of the sky in the lake does not seem to be consistent with the color of the sky so you may have edited the sky to cool it down but not the reflection in the lake. |

You managed the use of a ND10 filter very well. The impression I get is the area is completely deserted so as Larry says, this really has an impact. How you got the boats in slips apparently sharp is an amazing part of the image. I think you managed the mid-tones, a key to a good B/W image, in the conversion to B/W very well. My only suggestion is to see if you could make the sky and water a different tone to differentiate them more. A wow effort on the long exposure for sure. |

I have been reading a lot recently on landscape photography by noted photographers. It seems you have taken a page out of their playbook. A common theme is looking for the light and being calm to discern what speaks to your feelings about the area. The leaves and the direction of the light all seem to take my eye to the center of the image. It is too bad you got blocked blacks when you downsized the image. Great work with the color range; the colors really flow together well. This would be a great print |

To me this is an exceptionally well thought out and composed photo. All leading lines point to a vanishing point in the image. The use of a wider angle lens helps create the radial expansion of the sky. None of the posts intersect with the horizon line which indicates some thought about camera position. The limited and synchronous color palette works well. As Larry says, an image worth hanging. |
