Petrie Island Scenery

[Sailorstu]

A couple of photos from a visit yesterday to Petrie Island in East Ottawa. C & C welcome.

#1 General Landscape



#2 A convoy



#3 A Muscrat Feeding

Ideally, Stu, I would have preferred to see more or preferably none of that bit of foliage in the top right corner of #1. Otherwise it looks good to me.

#2 is an interesting scene; although possibly very fractionally on the tight side and you are starting to lose focus on the right side. Maybe the yellowish background is slightly on the bright side?

#3 looks good to me.

Geoff - thanks for the feedback. I went back and re-cropped photo #1 to save a bit more of the tree that was overhanging. I think this is better. My goal was to use the tree above and the tree down by the water to frame one side of the photo and give it depth.

I agree the tall grass in #2 is awfully bright and may take away from the main subject. I'll have a go at seeing if I can reduce the intensity a bit.

Thanks for the review.

Thanks Jim....I've been reading on beavers and muscrats and I think it is the latter???? This critter seemed much smaller than some of the monster beavers I see out at Petrie Island!

Nice captures.

I like all of these very much.

As I see it, the second version of #1 lacks the colour of the original in the foreground - the blue in the water and the red in the logs. But I am looking at it on the iPad which does not always render colours well.

The second version does appear to lack the red hues you captured well in your first photo.

The logs make nice leading lines.

Tony thanks. I messed up the post processing on the second version of #1...good pick-up! Back to the drawing board.

Thanks. As I just mentioned to Tony I messed up my second processing of #2 and changed the colours enough that the logs don't look as they should. I'm back to the drawing board!

With the wider version of #1 that extra length in the fallen trees is even better at guiding the viewer towards the image centre

I think the second version has too much green tint...I like the first one better...and the geese...and the critter. All nicely shot...

All very nice images, I prefer the original edit of #1
