Shadows

[Daisy Mae]

I KNOW I am pushing the envelope with this one

would like your comments though.

I am very far from having any kind of experience to offer any knowledgeable comment, so please forgive me. I like where your photograph is going, maybe if the contrast were a little stronger between the trees and the sky? So that they were a little darker? Thank-you for the inspiration! Opens up my mind to a white vignette.

Hey Jen...all comments are very welcome and I already know I am stretching things here.

but....I do like an experiment and it is very different from my usual.

[M Aella]

Experimenting is wonderful; stretching our boundaries amazing! If this is different from your usual, I must away to peruse your "usual" thank-you.

This is more my usual Jen

Gloria!

Thanks for the comments

*bows* I had to check out your Flickr pictures. Wonderful!

I think, Sharon, I would like to see a version without the vignette. Then experiment with different crops. The shadows are good.

I would definitely crop the bottom a little tighter. Ideally, I would like to have seen the shooting angle just a little different to include the top of the left large tree; and less bottom.

Possibly the vignette would work better, for me, if there was a stronger central element. For instance, a large tree with smaller ones merging into the vignette.

The basic shot is good.

I like it. There is a strong central subject: the tree shadows. The background trees play a supporting role, identifying the shadows (even though the shadows are not of those trees). Also good use of the white vignette. The image seems poetic to me.

Thank you Geoff and Bev.

I am just trying out ideas and feedback is so valuable.
