Blowing in the Wind 風吹草原

6/6

This is an example of how landscape photos shoul be done.... Is this a composite?

No Leo, this is a one take. I shot this picture hand held while resting my camera on the opened window of my tour bus when it stopped. I almost deleted the original raw file as the composition was poor. I wish I had included more of the mountain as the view up that distant valley is what facinates me now.

superb landscape! beautiful colors ...

The non cropped pic looks to me even better than the excellent composition posted in the first instance

Leo, I tend to think otherwise. The uncropped version has too much foreground (half page) which is distracting. In the cropped version, all the shrubs in the foreground occupies only 1/3 of the photo. The viewer's attention is drawn towards the blowing dust and the distant valley which is the most interesting part. This makes a far more concise composition in my opinion.
