Goose Lake

Love all the green intermixed with the snow covered backdrop. Would have been nice to have some clouds but you can't always get that unless you stay awhile. The image could really use a stronger center of interest. Maybe a log or a rock in the foreground or the strongest part of the mountain peak in the background. Nice job Sharron.

Very pretty, Sharron. I agree with Dean's comment about a focal point. You might have even been able to get closer to the rocks in the LLC to add interest to the foreground and balance to the image. Still quite nice as is.

Sharron,

I've just started shooting wide angle recently and it's very unnatural to me. Everyone tells you that you use a wide angle view to draw the viewer into the scene. What i've had trouble realizing is that since everything in the distance is made smaller you have to have some strong fg element, that you get really close to with the lens to create enough interest to compensate for the reduced bg. At least I think that's true in most cases. Seems to me that it's almost like doing macro photography with a bg.

I agree with the comments you've already received on this image but I do like the patterns you've captured in it a lot. I'd at least take a look at converting this to black and white and emphasizing the different areas of the image. They create an interesting pattern for me.

Sharron, I agree with the other comments. WA lenses can be tough, so the suggestions to have a strong foreground element, or elements, and a central point are right on.
