Lake Britton (previous image). I would appreciate your thoughts as

Larry - conditions were not the best but still a nice shot. I am just wondering what was the ISO speed for this one?

Surprising to me, I like this portrait version best (I tend to prefer landscape for scenics), perhaps because of the dramatic sky and cloud motion. Realizing the lighting was dull and dark in the rain, I couldn't help but wonder how it would look if the darks were brought out a little.  Regardless, an eye catching image... Mike

I think the strong elements in this image are the lovely contrasting colours, the mist above the trees and the cloud. There is a large expanse of what might be termed negative space (lower right) that I think I would experiment with cropping along with a small crop from the top. This would leave a landscape format image leaving all the elements that give the image impact. What do you think?

Best Regards

Hi Larry,

  Beautiful scene with wonderful fall colors,  reflection & powerful sky  Excellent image!!  Take care, Patsy

Alf,  Yes, I agree about that negative space.  I will try the crop on a duplicate of the image.  Ita sacrifices the reflection on the left, but that's not critical to the image.  As, I said, I appreciate your helpfulness.  Larry

Patsy,  It's wonderful connecting with you on your images and mine.  Thanks for the visits and compliments.  Larry
