Bonsai Rock

Gallery: LandscapePosted April 21, 2010206 views13 comments

I have not been able to get out shooting much at all this year. I have been fortunate enough to have a lot of work from last year to post. Also revisiting some older files to have a fresh go at the processing, and presentations. This is from 2008, Bonsai Rock, Eastern Shore, Lake Tahoe, Nevada. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for your thoughts. A larger version included as well.

D200,
18-70mm,
GND,

Thanks,
Chris

Certainly a very enjoyable shot Chris. Simple but beautiful.

Wonderful shot, Chris. Can't think of any improvements here (and I love to nit-pick a little :)). A different approach with a very long shutter speed would have been interesting too.

A wonderful image Chris, with great detail and color. I can't help but throw a compliment your way - your images and processing skills have improved so much over the last 1-2 years - kudos to you for putting forth the effort to make that happen!

Nice image; looks good all around. You were lucky to have a colorful sunset. I've wanted to visit this place ever since seeing Elizabeth Carmel's shot of it a few years ago.

Looks like a pretty windy day and the lake surface is quite rough. Great sky and nice comp. Well done, Chris.

Beautiful take on a familiar subject. The color in the sky is a perfect accent to the rock and water. Very nice!

That's a huge rock. Your processing looks fantastic, but its hard to tell the scale of the scene. This is high quality workmanship Chris. You are one of the best.

The rock really holds my eye. It's like an island of stability with lots of other elements floating around it.

Chris,

A lovely Tahoe scene and a beautiful job with capture and processing. A great job with the light/exposure between the rock and the rest of the scene. It's all balanced nicely and naturally.
