Bogged in Autumn

Tripod with a level was used, but the right side of this composition feels like it

is flowing out of the frame. Does this bother anyone other than myself and if

so any hints to fix it. Rotating messes up the left side. Or any other comments

or suggestions are welcome.

Very nice shot....lighting is good...but can approach the same place in a different lighting, I guess to enhance and to bring out some more colors off of the place!

Is this color better in your opiion?

I love the colors and the subject but I do feel as though I want to wander out of the picture to the right. Have you tried cropping the tree out. It makes a border on the left side pushing you to the right. Without the tree you want to follow the stream.

I do have a shot without the tree. My wife is painting this one.

Oh, I don't know, how 'bout this...

Pretty nice flip David. I always forget you can do stuff like that in PS. Compositionally your version looks a lot better than mine.

I like the shot with the tree better than the one without. Obviously you have tried cropping the right side but it still looks like it's listing every so slightly; I actually didn't notice until you pointed it out. I love this composition. Regards.

I like what David did, including the frame. Funny how a flip can make a lot of difference in the "feel" of the image.

I like what he did also Kim. Richard, Thank you for the kind words.

Merry Xmas, John, and looking forward to more fun threads for 2005. :-)

had to look again, just to remind myself that the snow will eventually go away!! LOL I do like the shot without the tree. I don't feel like I want to leave the photo. I feel like I am free to wander through the nice fall colors.

Hope you have a great new year too.

Michael, thanks for X-Mas wishes and I return them. I also look forward further interesting conversations and contests.

 

Donald, the snow will go, but I don't mind that as much as I do the ice and freezing winds. Those will also take a hiatus in about three months. In the meantime keep working on summer photos to keep your spirits up. In the meantime I will shoot some winter scenes to post this Summer, when we could use the cold of winter . :)

I like it with the tree. More deep feeling. Where is it taken? It?s really beatiful! //Bee

Hi Bee, This was taken in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Thanks for the interest. John.

Wonderful shot John, It was amazing seeing just how much a border and a horizontal flip does to an image.

I like the way you cropped it too just right in my opinion.
