Pristine Geometry

Gallery: LandscapePosted June 13, 2011640 views5 comments

It's supposed to not rain on only about 35 days per year here at Cradle Mountain. Most times I go, I seem to get blue skies! Anyway, with no sky drama happening I went for the reflection as the sun was going down.
It's a fairly standard view of this Tasmanian icon, but I felt the geometry of the reflected lines & shapes helped it work out. Opinions appreciated.

Neale, this is a consistent and strong composition to me. The subsurface textures as well as the prominent elements in the foreground at the right keep my attention and bring the otherwise static scene to life.

This is nicely done Neale.
Possibly you could lose the rh foreground elements I find them slightly distracting dunno then again they do add to it too.

Well captured

Despite the cloudless conditions you came up with a good comp, Neale, and handled the light very well.

Hi Neale - I think you did a good job with the cards you were handed. Sometimes the weather and skies just don't happen. I am a little torn regarding the right side bushes/tree. They do add a bit of depth to the image, but the tree heading out of the frame is a little distracting. Not knowing what your options were here for comps, I think this worked out pretty well.

I agree, my first thought was cool geometry. In fact If I web crop off the left, just to the left of the left hill, it's even more striking with a right to left flow, almost abstract. Great capture, I think you did a great job with the blue sky.
