Mountain Faces

Hi Richard,
Honestly, the composition here doesn't do much for me. There is not much here to lead the eye through the photo - not any distinctive features in the right side mountain to draw me there. It would be nice to see some more contrast on the left, but I don't think that would overcome the composition problem.

Hi Doug,

Thanks for your C & C! Yes, I'm thinking this image isn't a very good one - definitely helpful to have some outside review. Thanks again.

Richard, I apologize for not noticing this shot. I've been traveling alot lately and it's hit or miss on checking what's new. What I get from this image is the immense scale here that is perhaps just as immensely hard to convey. Having said that, I agree with Doug's assessment. I greatly enjoy your work and know you are trying to push the bubble of what you feel is appealing. This photo is very bold and in your face and perhaps a little unexpected. I think I might try to separate the middle ridge line from the background ridge and deepen the shadow on the mid snow field. Additionally i think I would Increase the highlights in the snowfield below the shadow line. Just a couple of pennies worth.

I love the set up from the near/dark and far/gray rock, but my eye pines for something in that sky.

Yes, I think this one's pushing it, too - I'll try your suggestions, Gary. Thank you! John, yes, it sure would have been nice to have some clouds, I tell ya - hopefully next time!



Thanks again for your C & C's!!
