NAPA VALLEY MUSTARD

thanks for looking.

Nice geometric composition and great colors on the larger version. Great work

Beautiful arrangement. I experimented by cropping out the sky and most of the hills and slightly rotating it, and I think it adds even more strength to the image. Hope you don't mind; tell me what you think!

Best regards, Nancy

It is realy a lovely capture of this beautiful scenery. Great colours and light. Regards LKV.

What a "find" this must have been for you. I bet you were enthralled with this vista of delights....You usual excellent standards again ......Regards

color, texture, perspective. This is a whole photographic course in just one picture. I love it

 

Nancy's comments and re-do are instructive to me as well. I live close enough to Napa and shot some there. Shooting full frame, or high res crop frame, leaves us the freedom to get a decent printable file size, even after cropping. After 40 years of photography, my work continues to suffer from including too much. That said, I looked at your portfolio and see that, when you do use wide angles, you do it very well. Your framing is what I often strive for and sometimes get right. Your original shot and Nancy's crop are equally valid ways of seeing this scene.
