Rabbit Brush

Desert flora at Alabama Hills near Lone Pine at daybreak.

Hi Leo

 

A very good B&W image; an interesting, detailed photo with a good foreground subject and pleasing, meandering path for the viewer past the rocks, towards the distant hills. I really like it. Well done.

 

Regards, Mike

 

once again I admire the "drama" that you've put into this because I find that very attractive and working well in this fine photo. It's a landscape I really enjoy looking at. Still, I wonder that if you should bring some light back in that grass in the foreground if it wouldn't look even better than it does now.

This is really quite gorgeous! I agree with Ton that the FG drama really makes this pop. I think the FG grasses look just right given the early time of day and the extraordinaryily hazy conditions that we found. Excellent cropping decision results in a great composition. Well done, Amigo! Cheers! Chris

Ton I don't quite understand the statement "bring some light back inti the foreground grasses." To me they are very bright!

as I already said it's a very good photo. It wasn't a statement nor a critique, it was merely a question. Yes, it looks bright (enough) but I just wondered that if you'd make it somewhat lighter if that would add more drama or that it would get your photo out of balance. I'm not sure about that, hence the question.

One of my favorite areas, and you captured the atmosphere very well.

I kind of think here that any brighter grass might not maintain that early dawn feel. But thanks again for all your comments as they are all informative and from a knowledgeable eye.
