Deborah, that was beautiful. You captured the essence of the image very well. Thank you so much for sharing! With the amount of overgrowth on the closed road...it's been a long time since the man in your poem has found peace, hasn't it?

Beautiful scene, but I think you may need to increase the contrast some to really make colors in the mountain stand out from one another. As it is, it seems a bit flat and "hazy".

No reason for people to give this a rating of 3. It is not below average.

You got your lines straight and your exposure right. The warmth is inviting. The lack of real people/models gives the scene an almost comedic feel (not "ha-ha", mind you). It's a different shot, and I think you did well.

Trisha, thank you very much!

Deborah,

I am honored that my photo has moved you enough to write a poem. I love poetry and would absolutely love to see what you have written. Feel free to post it!

This is one awesome shot.

Great photo with good choice of framing. Needs a little level adjustment, though; the highlights appear a bit gray.

Seems a little washed out, lacking in contrasts. I really enjoy your composition though...the foreground forms are set really well against the mountain backdrop with lines leading the whole way up. Great job...certainly original, in my opinion.

This is in Oregon

Haha, thanks Alec!

I am so pleased I could be of some assistance! Keep up the good work.

Thank you, Patsy.

Awesome and original shot....it's great.

The dark natural border here really emphasizes the dramatic colors and life of the flowers...really enjoyable image.

The tonality really aids this photo. I like it a lot.

Thank you for your comment, Trisha, glad you enjoy this.

Fabulous. Definately original.

Fabulous image, love the wide angle and all the textures and soft colors.

That is some beautiful winter light for sure. The horizon is a bit tilted. The scene, though simple, is quite enchanting. Good job.

Great eye to see this final image when taking the photograph. You succeeded very well.

I can't think of any tips - I think you got this shot the way you should have. One particular thing I like a lot about this shot is that he is looking into the expanse of water to a distant item we can't see. This presents the viewer with a mystery and keeps me intrigued. Good job.

Love it, Trisha. Those diagonal lines really make this image stand out.

Apurva, thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Thank you for your comment, Linda. I'm glad the feeling came through for you too :)

Great job. Glad to see a glimpse of this person's life.
