minicucci 0 Posted July 5, 2009 Sriram: It is a very nice scene. However, in my opinion, the composition leaves the eye to wander about looking for a rhythm and failing to find one. It's a bit sky heavy (and a little noisy up there). The large rock on the right is truncated by the presented crop and leads the eye out of frame because its size and darkness is among the more commanding of the visual elements. On the left, the small ridge pinnacle also pulls at the eye, so the viewer gets into a bit of a visual tennis match. If you crop out these elements and reduce the sky's footprint by a third or so, you do get a nice rhythm repeating from the two foreground rocks to the two distant peaks and out into the mist. The eye follows the path implied by your title. (An example crop is attached.) I'd also emphasize the yellows in the foreground to balance the blues of the misty distance and rich sky. Just another sort of color rhythm. My opinion about composition aside, this is the kind of shot that does make me wish I was there. My compliments.
