where did you find this pool? i go to JTNP once in a while, and i have been dreaming about finding a spot like this.

 

your composition and exposure are flawless. I love this shot!

This is in the Barker Dam area... don't expect it to last very long, it is just flooded due to all of the rain we've had here in SoCal in the past week. I have never been to Barker Dam before, but there were some locals saying things like "haven't seen it this full in 20 years", etc.

Superb exposure and execution, but perhaps just a little too much to see in one photograph?

 

The foreground, in my opinion, instead of leading the eye to the mountain, fights with it for domination.

 

However, still a beautiful picture!

This has a lot going for it. Great light and depth of field, no boring areas created from bland, blank skies, etc.. One similar to the POW this week (1.1.05) in that it has a strong foreground and background. But this one has virtually no 'middle ground', whereas the POW one has too much! (I like this one way more, but this is of no consequence.)

 

Here, had you moved in a little closer to your beautiful foreground plants you would have given yourself that little bit of middle ground that would have separated them a little more. See where the rock pile reflection almost touches the foreground plant? That would have had a dash more separation, eliminating the 'tension point' created there.

 

Balance is a little 'right heavy', as the bigger elements start to stack-up over on that side. It is something to try and notice on our compositions before making them, so we can correct them if possible.

 

Nice job otherwise. Blessings.

It is very interesting and amusing to let the eye follow the composition. Original and very beautiful. Excellent photography.

Absolutely stunning photo. Great composition, colour, lighting, detail. Everything about this photo is fantastic, probably the best I've seen for a while. Has to be a 7/7. Only negative would be - I wish I had taken this photo ;0)

Brilliant shot - sharp, composition, DOF, light, colour - love this. Oh for a sunlit day here in grey UK. Excellent.

The light and the visual echo in your composition is quite extraordinary but I just wonder if perhaps your depth of field was compromised beyond it's limits. The background seems a wee bit soft to me. Still adore it though.

Ian,

 

This shot was taken at f22 on a 20mm lens @ hyperfocal, so everything should be in focus. Seems to be in the full version on my monitor.
