Brushy Mountains: At the Bottom of the Hill

Shot in the Brushy Mountains east of the Blue Ridge in NorthCarolina,

The shots in this folder were made with the Canon 400D/XTi, which I consider to be a highly under-rated camera.

I like where you places her in the frame. A nice pasture is not easy to find around here any longer. Very nice picture.

Thanks, Mike, but I notice that you have a great pasture shot out your front door!

 

Wish I lived there! I had to drive fifty miles to get this.

Hi Lannie! Very nice scene with the gentle curve of the tree line combined with the soothing downward slope of the hillside. Soft colors with a hint of some atmospherics in that light haze provide some much needed balm for this viewer. Odd placement of the bovine model down there, not bad just odd. My eye sees her and wants to continue out of the frame. Two more inches of green on the left would fix that (for me). But, overall, I think you did well on this. Regards.

Thanks, Walt. I had the same sense about the calf. The attached shows either the same frame or a very similar one, with the calf and the hillside in larger context. I agree that it would have been nice to have had more green to the left of the calf, but, as you can see, there was not much more to work with, unless I wanted to interrupt the flow of the green meadow by adding other elements, such as the eroded portions, etc.

I see what you mean. It's a situation where the only thing left to do is to put on some spurs, a ten gallon hat, mount your trusty steed and soosh that lil'doggie where she's a need'n to be, I reckon! It's a good photograph, Lannie; don't mind me. Regards.

Well, Walt, I guess I could always clone her out--or over a few feet.

 

Oh, well, the shot is what it is, and on another day or from another angle it no doubt could have been better.

 

It's always good to hear from you.

Lennie, I see we both like very similar motives. This could also be Pohorje in Slovenia. Isnt the nature something beautiful?

 

Yes, Robert, there is nothing like nature, especially the mountains, in my opinion.

 

Thanks for your comment.

This is nice and calming pasture. The monotony of the colors depicts the simplicity and beauty of the hill. Trees frames the pasture as protecting it.

 

But if I were passing by, I would probably keep going without staying a moment. Because I would search for more vibrant, lively and screaming sceneries and moods.

 

Still, every corner of the nature is awesome.

 

You are great man living by the great and awesome nature. It's going hand by hand, I guess.

Thank you, Krissy, but I don't have the faintest idea what you just said, except that I am a "great man," which is certainly not true.
