gdanmitchell 0 Posted July 26, 2006 ... lovely, subtle sky with the very soft touch of pink. My temptation would be to perhaps try finding a way to diminish the heaviness of the foreground which to my eye seems to overpower the sky. Perhaps things could be lightened up a a bit - in particular the sky and the reflection? Take care, Dan Link to comment
david robinson 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks for this feedback Dan. I could certainly lighten this one up. I have other exposures with which I could do a composite. I'll have to play around a bit more with this one. As it is, I very much like its mood... Link to comment
carsten_ranke 0 Posted July 28, 2006 A very subtle color palette, the distant softness against the bold foreground conveys depth. Dead still water, all fits nicely together for the feeling of stillness your title indicates. Link to comment
jeff.grant 0 Posted July 29, 2006 David, I think that this deserves some more attention. If you can produce a blend which gives more FG detail, I feel that the image would be much improved. Link to comment
PeterKrenek 26 Posted July 30, 2006 David, I second what has already been said, about lightening of the foreground. I like the strongly subdued color gradients in the sky. Save for the trees, a scene from another planet. Best regards... Peter Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted July 31, 2006 David, I second Dan about the light, I think the bg sky needs a bit more of it, looks a very primal landscape, which the bg mountains and trees are hinting of daybreak, I like the very restricted palette and details, looks like the begining of formation.

sef1664877429 0 Posted August 1, 2006 I kind of like the mood, as well, but guess I'd have to see the lighter version to decide whether it would really be an improvement. For me the darkness of the foreground is balanced out by one thing. The misty signs of life clinging onto the background through decades of storms. Its a primative, foreboding landscape, but the soft silhouettes of the trees offer hope to the traveller washed up on cold shores. So the blackness works. Or something like that... Link to comment
david robinson 0 Posted August 2, 2006 Thanks everyone for taking your time to share your thoughts on this one. If you are interested check back later and I will post another version. I want to thank Daily for his effort with this one-- clearly the foreground can be lightened up. The trouble I have had so far is that my results have ended up compromising the sky and diminishing the mood. Stephen may be right here. This version though darker may be the one that best conveys this mood. Anyway my thanks to you all... Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted August 24, 2006 David, I somehow missed this one. Ny feeling is that any modifications to the foreground need to be quite subtle to preserve the superb sense of abolute stillness you have here. I think Daily's version makes the shot too 'lively'. Here is my version - just slightly lightening the single rock l fg to give more sense of recession. Beautiful work. Link to comment
