Fall at Wahkeena

[Ziggy]

C&C welcome.

Nice image. I could defiantly hang out there for a few days with a case of beer.

Nice scene and composition Jim,

I think, judging by the reflections, it needs a slight clockwise rotation though.

Lovely setting and well done.

[Shadowman]

Nicely exposed.

[Ziggy]

Thanks all. Wahkeena is a very cool nature preserve close to where I live.

Nice scene and composition Jim,

Thanks for the feedback Dave. If I rotate won't the building look off?

[Dave Humphries]

If I rotate - won't the building look off?

That possibly depends which bit you think will be off; e.g.

a) the roof not being horizontal - but we're not square on to it anyway, but yes, this will look more slanted
b) the verticals/corners leaning - these are quite small in height related to the overall image height, so I don't think it would show
c) the reflection of the building - it doesn't line up with the building itself anyway

HTH, Dave

Lovely

I agree that it needs rotating. I used Photoshop's straighten tool to align the eaves in the house and the reflection.



I left the image uncropped so you can see how much it was rotated.

Very nice scene, Ziggy...I love the pp.

[Ziggy]

Thanks all for the comments and feedback.

I don't know John. The building looks higher on the left than the right. Anyone else with feedback?

Might be me. People tell me my head is not on straight.

FWIW, Jim I thought the first image was ok, and the rotated one looks way off. But I have noticed lately that when I try to level horizons / verticals in post, the result always feels like it is leaning to one side. Maybe there is something wrong with my brain.

Very nice composition

[Brownbear]

Lovely image.. Beautiful framing and reflections. Gorgeous colours.

As seen with my eyes John's rotation is straight. Mike taught me to move my reflected images around in the lyte box. When I move John's edit to the side of the screen the tree trunks and sides of the house look perfectly straight to me. ie; top of tree and reflected top aligned perfectly.

Beautiful tranquil scene. Gorgeous colours and reflection.

align the eaves in the house

It's a handcrafted log home...ain't nothing gonna be straight

[joebranko]

I agree with Dave. I feel it needs some clockwise rotation based on the prominent tree and its reflection. But please note, I have a lot of trouble with getting my horizons level so what do I know?

Does that include the water in the lake?

[Ziggy]

Thanks all for the feedback on this image, it's appreciated.

I will straighten as suggested and see what I think.

[chauncey]

Does that include the water in the lake?

It would take about 5 minutes in PS to make things look "technically vertical/horizontal"...
if, that's what is desired.
I like the original image as it has good PP and a nice pastoral feel to it.
