Timbered Hillsides in N. California (enlarge)

Hi Jim.  The layered composition of this picture, is the main attraction here. The grain adds interest, and uniformity of tone gives an almost abstract quality. Particularly, I would crop the image on top in order to disappear the cloud , but is a matter of personal taste.

Kind Regards,

Rosario.

Rosario,

Thanks for the suggestion. I will play with it! Jim

I like the minimalistic approach to this, "less is more" as they say. I would agree with Rosario about cropping the cloud I would also rotate the canvas so that the top layer is more even.

A very nice soothing image.

Compliments & Best Regards

Alf has said it very well "less is more" - the high atmosphere with mere hints of the hills works very well.
