Looking for ways to improve my photography techniques, composition,

and processing.

Hi Stephen, It's nice to see other people are taking pictures in Mendon Ponds Park too. The tilted horizons in these pics at the south end of Deep Pond bother me somewhat. IMHO I think a level horizon would help the pictures alot. Tilting the camera down some to include less sky would allow you to keep more detail in the pond and surrounding landscape. I took a similar picture in almost the same location last month: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1027339

This one has drawn quite a few viewers (relative to my other photos)

and even some ratings, but no comments about what people do or don't

like. I'm not crazy about the pinkish tint but that's what it looked

like in real life. I tried playing with it to remove it but nothing

looked "right" to me.

How about the cropping? When I looked at cropping a little tighter on

the right, I lost the feeling that the mist was rising away from the

pond. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'm hoping to

improve my composition and techniques. Thanks!
