Storm, Lake McDonald

Thanks.

Nice photo, Robert--it's a great panorama, but I think there is too much dark sky in the shot, which might be improved by cropping into even more of a panorama. The clouds don't offer enough definition or relief to be interesting in and of themselves, so I find them overwhelming the image. I know you're trying to capture the storm.

Tim, I tried cropping this three ways: lots of dark clouds (version shown), lots of water, and thin panorama. For today, I liked the one I posted for critique best, though that could change tomorrow! Thanks for your input.

Wonderful. grat grey scale. superb mood too!

Aesthetically beautiful with a great mood. Congratulations!

Robert I think I like the original without the crop as well. Although the second crop adds some balance, I still prefer the original. Dark and moody feel.

I prefer the original framing to the leaner crop, Robert. I conveys more of a sense of expansiveness. The clouds textures are unusual -- because of the cloudbursts they look almost posterised but I'm sure it would all come together in a large print, which this definitely deserves :)

In my own taste, I prefer your original shot Robert. The cropped version in a panoramic way is very nice but I like the dark part of side on yours. It gives a good view to the storm.

Excellent black and white, with a complete grey scale !

Terrific shot! Gald to see the trip paid off, photographically speaking.

 

cheers,

As luck would have it, I just came across Adam's rendition of the Lake. I wonder what he say about this???

Aaron, Adam??? Last name? I may just be dense.

Ooops, that should have been "Adams'", with the apostrophe after the "s."

 

cheers,

Aaron
