Alabama Hills Dawn

Thanks for your opinion!

Lovely color palette--very soft contrasted with the coarseness of the rock. Nice work. ~chris

Hi Becky,

 

It looks like you had beautiful light that morning. I love the soft colors, the glow of light on the arch and the contrasting warm and cool colors in the sky. There is a nice progression or pattern of the rocks leading the eye back to the hill in the distance.

 

I think I would prefer to see the composition brought in tighter (cropped) so that the arch simply frames the view beyond (without any view of the upper edges of the arch). When I see the entire arch silhouetted against the sky, it makes such a strong geometric shape that the arch wants to be the dominant subject. But I find the simplicity of the arch competing visually with the much more complex patterns of the boulders seen through the arch.

 

Thanks for sharing this lovely moment.

Sweet shot! I love your composition; I think it is spot-on. I might like a touch more contrast in this; particularly the foreground and middle-ground granite boulders. Gorgeous light and colors. Well seen and captured! Cheers! Chris

Outstanding Becky! Regards.

It's a classic Becky! I window to a different world! Nice work! Regards, Doug

This is so gorgeous I'm tempted to think it can't be real! And I wouldn't change a kilobyte. It's perfect! Brava!!

Hi Becky,

The pastel colours are a welcome change to the oversaturated offerings which seem to be the norm of late.Its been some time since I last looked but having just browsed your portfolio again I find much to like. A fine body of work.

Regards Pete.

Very nice lighting and texture. I like that you haven't bumped up the contrast too much so this is subtle and appealing.
