bruce_hamm 0 Posted August 29, 2002 This is another scene from the series that I shot in Prince Edward County, Ontario. Taken at sunset, the sky wasn't being overly cooperative while I was visiting the area (cloudless, heavy haze on the horizon). However, I liked the way the light was caught in the pools in the rock and captured it as best I could with a grad ND. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment
paul_frank 0 Posted August 29, 2002 I find the tree kind of distracting and unnecessary. I do like the sky, however. Link to comment
peten 0 Posted August 30, 2002 The tree helps frame the shot & adds scale.A nicely balanced & atmospheric image. Link to comment
nomade 1 Posted August 30, 2002 It's ok for me, about the tree, I think is necessary, maybe cropping it slightly. But anyway, it doesn't detract the image a lot. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted August 30, 2002 The gradation in colors of the skies is, indeed, a beauty to behold. The foreground leads the eyes in a subtle way (because it's thinly lit) to the beautiful horizon. The tree helps to carve a skyline that would be quite dull if it had not been there.I think this picture is good. Link to comment
pedja 1 Posted August 31, 2002 This composition shouldn't work but it works. The tree makes it. I really like the picture. Link to comment
marco_vargas 0 Posted August 31, 2002 i not quiet satisfied with the elements interaction, it feels kind of empty. the tree silhouette and the black rocky mass in the foreground tend to balance the scene, but i do miss something else to keep my eye wondering around and stay. good job.

bruce_hamm 0 Posted September 2, 2002 Thanks to everyone for the comments. Interesting thoughts concerning the tree. Truth be told, I took several different shots at this location over the course of 3 nights. Almost all of them included the tree. Why? Simply to add an element of interest in the absence of a dramatic sky. In this case, I think the silhouette of the tree works only because it works together with the foreground detail.
