Erosion Landscape

Gallery: LandscapePosted April 9, 2010259 views14 comments

This was taken last September in the area around Page, AZ. I know some of you know this area well, so I'd appreciate being reminded where I was.

I was so tired, I forgot to note it. Anyway, I enjoyed the shapes and lighting and all of the indicators of erosion from the hillside cracks, the wash, and the carved out rock formation on the left.

D700, 24-70, tripod, circ.pol.; f 22, 1/5, ISO 320.

Sure would like to know your thoughts on this. Thanks.

I like it Catherine but on my monitor at least , it could use a bit more contrast ?

The combination of warm and cool tones is very nice. I would agree that a slight boost in contrast/saturation would bring that out even more. I really like your composition and placement of the elements.

I really like your composition, using the fg formation to frame the scene. The light is also very nice throughout the scene, you could perhaps add a little more contrast, but I think it looks good as it is (Edit, just noticed your large version is different than the posted one, posted one looks spot on to me!).

I love the cool blue BG, especially when contrasted against the left FG. Excellent composition Catherine - I like the way the rock on the right is shaped so that it's a nice "fit" into the eroded rock on the left. Nicely done.

Awesome colors Catherine. I like how you used the sides to frame the background. Nice work.

I like the cool and warm tone Catherine as well as how you used the rock on the left to frame the scene. Nice find.

Interesting. The larger photo is different in saturation but looks like the same size.

I like the blue/gold contrast and the way the comp hints at what's around the corner.

I love the warm/cool contrasts. The less saturated version is a bit more pleasing, imo.

I love the combination of warm and cool colors, that - together with all the shapes and patterns - makes me feel I can reach into this.

A very nice comp, Catherine. I like the way the darker blue curves around the warmer tones of the rocks. All the elements are very well placed.
