White Water River - Lijiang, China

This was a bit of a serendipitous shot. I saw the yak standing there

and jumped off the bus to capture the moment. Please critique/comment

as much as possible; it's the best way for me to learn.

It looks like you have learned plenty so far. Great Job.

Teru, this must have been a stunning sight and it hardly seems fair to critique what someone did jumping off a bus. But is this a case of trying to capture everything when going for a piece of it might have yielded a stronger picture? The terraces are a striking element. So is the yak. And the blue mountain valley funneling down so precipitously is a third. A full frame of the mountains rising above with the yak small at the bottom might have worked well. Or the yak isolated in the plain of interlocking terraces. Still, the picture you got is so exotic it will stay in the mind.

 

I like the texture in the rocks and how it leads you to the subject. Great contrast as well.

Whatever the potential of critiquing this shot, it's a terrific eye catcher. Cheers, Sam.

Excellent compostion! y love how you worked foreground, mid and background, the Jak is in the right place, the vail merges on him!

Great landscape too

 

Cheers, Rafael

 

Amazing shot! Well worth the jump :)

You do have a way of framing your image. This is wonderful. I was there in November, cold and foggy, was not able to or skilled enough to get a shot like this. Good work.

Ferrando said it well! Everything here points to the Yak. Good job.
