glade creek steps

hold the mill, hold the falls . . . . . what do you think of the left /

right balance?

This really works for me. The movement of the stairs to left seems to be balanced by the lean of the tree to the right. I think we can become too fixated on canons of symmetry and balance, sometimes a little asymmetry gives the picture an interesting tension. Very nice composition.

thanks Morey. dividing the image in half really does cause the eye to jump back and forth, as does having two clear points of interest. My hope here is that there is no hard line down the middle and that the rock provides a third element. Yeah, I find it hard to ignore some of these rules. My style has been referred to by some as overly formal. Oh well, so be it.

Nicely captured.

Nice shot. Ya take what the scene gives you. Good job.

It looks like a Japanese autum would i be correct?

Babcock State Park, West Virginia, USA

Great composition: just the right amount of symetrical asymetry, or something like that... But you don't need me to tell you that. A photo I could hang on my wall and not get tired of.

I think it's a great composition,very weel balanced...I choose this one to make a comment, but all your portfolio it's a beauty!!!

If you had the time and if you don't mind,I would like you to have a look at my work ond make some

comments.Thank you very much

My kind of favorite photo! Well balanced and great idea.

I absolutely love your photo's from this park. My only comment with regard to potential improvement for this photo would be the use of a polorizing filter to help eliminate some of the reflection of the leaves. I think these reflections take away from the photo. (IMHO)

Glad you like it. I'm pretty sure I used one, but since it was raining (no direct sun), I'm not sure it would have made much of a difference. What I think you may be seeing is the white underside of the leaves that are wrong side up (from an aesthetic perspective.)
