Life in a lens
Tree to the left... #3
Posted by Sandrine (Cincinnati, United States) on 15 November 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
I have 3 similar shots with the tree in different spots, couldn't decide the best one... Comments and critiques are welcome.
A Big thanks for your help and nice comments... I have loved getting feed back on these shots! You guys are AWESOME!
I think that I have decided that #3 is my favorite, I think it has a more mystical or enchanted feel to it...
Sorry I can't post! Computer is giving me fits! :(((((
Thanks for stopping by! I love to hear any of your thoughts...
Merci de votre visite! J'aime entendre toutes pensees...

I think they are all great but if want to choose just one, I would choose the second one. Great job anyway.

Very nice series, i like very much your second capture for the beautiful and warm colors
This one is also good cause the eye go naturally to the right, following the lines of the river and the hill

Hi - the light in all three shots is beautiful - I always struggle with exposures when trying to capture mist/fog, so might have to ask you for tips there! If I had to pick a favourite I would say this one, as the composition is stronger somehow... All three have a great sense of peacefulness, although for all I know there might have been a massive 10 lane freeway just behind you! ;-)

@Andy: Thanks... Just a 2 way little road... :) got another one tomorow with no tree... (focus on somthing solid or dark and recompose the shot, that's how I did it)

This one has such mystery in it..... I'd be hard pressed to choose between today's and yesterday's.... but would probably lean towards this one because of the mysterious feel.

@amy: Thanks Amy, I think I like it better too because of that mysterious feel... I've got one more without a tree... But my computer where my photos are is out until my Hubby gets to it! .... Fustrating!

I prefer this one - the rule of thirds, the darker areas, the good fog & light with a nice line drawing you into the image near the sky from left to right... beautifully done!

@Betsy Barron : www.thebetsy.com: I think I agree with you Betsy... :)

Almost had me stumped viewing this one but still I go for #2. This is a great shot as all 3 are. In #2 you see more of the tree and the large tree in left with some muted fall colors.

wow-- i can see why you have been having difficulty deciding which shot you prefer! i am caught between #2 and #3, myself; i really love the blaze of the autumn leaves in #2, but the curl of fog in #3 seems more magical.. both are more than worthy of a postcard. splended, magnificent captures!

This one's better! Good capture! Just maybe you could've gotten just a little more of the ground same level as the tree. But good work no doubt!

Of the three, this would be my favorite, only due to personal taste though. I'm not as fond of photos where the objects are centered, and here it's not the tree which is the main element, but works wonderful to frame. Another personal preference would be to crop the lighter sky area. To me, it would make a stronger image since the eye is pulled toward the lightest section in a photo. In this case, it would drop your view down to the water, and be pulled along with the water flow. All three are nice photos though, and as seen from the comments... each have their strong points.

@Dang: Thanks so much for visiting and leaving some great comments, I love when my Am3 fellow photographers give me useful tips to better my photos! I can see the sky thing and will do it to this shot. Thanks!

Tres belle photo et atmosphere! Celle ci est effectivement la meilleure au niveau composition. Le ciel manque de nuages? je ne sais.. mais l'espace vide dans l'angle superieur droit semble un peu grand. Un "crop" de la partie droite jusqu'a la branche pourrait etre une solution...
