Afternoon light

All comments are welcome, thanks.

Simple but elegant. Exposure seems well handled. I like the way the rocks lead the eye up to the horizon/trees.

Jeff, these rock nested in these grasses really make this an outstanding image. I'm not sure but maybe a small crop to the right eliminating the upper most part of the tree branches there might help with the composition.

Thanks for the feedback folks.

David, you are probably right but I just can't bring myself to crop the narrow side on the Xpan shots. I have enough trouble with the format as it is. It certainly doesn't come naturally to me.

I'm enjoying these long, skinny verticals Jeff. This composition feels slightly off balance to me. The foreground lines are weighted to the left, but the trees seem quite symmetrical and centred and the clouds are also weighted to the left. If possible, a placement of the trees more to the right might have addressed this.

Thanks Eric. This is the last of the Xpan verticals. I think that I had only ever taken one other vertical but this place seemed to be right for it. I see what you mean about balance and it is a good point to remember for next time.

So beautiful... Just great colors here and very good use of space.

This vertical pano really appeals to me! Great colours, exposure and sharpness throughout. I really must stitch more panos together. Thanks for sharing.

Jeff, I came to this one bouncing off the one that P.N. placed in the daily collection "The Devil Made Me Do It". Well, they are both good, this one is gooder (I have always liked Gooder Cheese). I really like the vertical pano, which leads me to this query; is this a true pano or a tight crop? Either way, it is sublime!!

Thanks Mark. This was taken with my Xpan. I struggled with the pano format but did manage the odd one that I was happy with. Funnily enough, it was the verticals that I really loved, probably because they are a little different. Here's another that I like: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4682410

 

My cheese intake is seriously restricted these days but I liked 'gooder' too.
