The Gazos Creek

Gallery: LandscapePosted December 26, 2010124 views8 comments

This photo was taken at Gazos Creek. I took this photo because I really liked the angle I could take this photo. As you can see it sort of looks like I was in the creek when really I wasn't in the creek I was near side of the creek.

I would like to know what you think of this photo and all comments are welcome

Thank
you!

I really like the moss/fern covered trees on the left side--personally i think that would have made a much stronger comp, a vertical of the left 1/3. Ive just seen too many comps that look like this (jaded, i know) so despite the decent light and scene, it leaves me wanting more. Maybe you should have gotten down real low (in the creek

)

Zynab, great framing on the left side and the smaller leaves there are a great extra element to have!

I like this a lot as is. I like the composition, the colors and the general feeling of the image.

I think it's a very nice comp. Yes familiar/common, but nicely done nevertheless. It does look like you were in the water. Is this in Big Basin somewhere?

Chris, this picture was not taken in Big Basin it was taken in Gazos Creek.

Nicely done Zaynab. I like the comp as is frankly, but I would like to see the shadow detail opened up a little bit perhaps. Nice work, and thanks for sharing.

Very nice perspective of a beautiful creek. I might reduce the blue channel for a warmer look.

Zaynab,

You've composed this scene very well and it's a lovely and peaceful image. The lighting is tough in that these scenes are quite difficult to get both detail in the shadows as well as maintaining the highlights. But I think there is a good balance here.

I would agree about bringing out the greens a little more. Wouldn't take too much.
