Lilach in the Dolomites

Maybe the subject is a bit too close to the edge of the picture.

I liked the fence composition, but I not sure the full frame works.

What do you think?

I think I would prefer this shot if you eliminated the person (sorry). With greater depth of field the fence, road and field would make a great composition.

I'm not sure my wife would like being eliminated, but here goes:

I agree with Paul, the person ditracts from the image. I like the submission with her removed.

Tal, you have some really good photos of your wife, so don't feel too bad about deleting her from this one. I like the second version much better.

beautiful landscape, not a great portrait...

I've gotta agree that the image would be better without a person in it.

 

Composition is great as an abstract, but has difficulty telling a story because the human figure tends to be elemental and he is on a road but both the road and the figure are subordinate to the fence. The fence is, no doubt, a great element, but I think at this tight cropping you are forcing the viewer to consider it the subject. It is, therefore, very strong and bullying to the eye. That may have been your intention - to create tension. If not, the crop may be too tight and the fence too far left. It crowds out the mirroring but contrasting and contrapuntal element of the road, thus weakening the potential of the composition.

 

Hi Tal!

This is a beautiful and correctly done picture, but I somehow feel that you can be more creative, I mean, many persons passing by this place have already made this shot (and many will do in the future). There's nothing wrong about it, and we see your wife, but where are you?
