Big Hawk Lake, Canada

Hi everyone! I posted this picture a few days ago with a message, that it

was my very first attempt to take pictures of landscape. I have received

2 very encouraging critiques from Pierre and Alf, saying that it was a

good start. They both liked my piture and I was very proud of it. But by

mistake I deleted it :(. So now, I posted it again, with the same request - I

nead your comments and advice. Thank you, Tamara

Hi Tamara,

The image is of a beautiful scene.

Your Nikon D7000 has excellent dynamic range. I would suggest shooting a little longer exposure of opening up the f-stop to F/5.6, making the scene exposed more. Then you can develop the background scenic beauty more than a dark hillside.

I present an example of what your scene might appear like with a different f-stop and or exposure.

Best Regards,  Mike

ok, I like your version better :(. I think, I have to do smth. with my learnig of ps (I mean, processing). I think, I need a gradiant filter too... Thank you very much for your help - I have to figure it out how you did it. My best regards, Tamara
