Friday Morning In The Park

[AndrewMcD]

This one I used a bit of vignette, something I rarely do, hoping it emphasized the shape of what I thought was some interesting fog.





A rather conventional picture of a tree but an image that I feel evokes the landscape near northern Delaware.

First one has some interesting patterns and layers.

I love tree shots- rarely do I see one that I don't admire in some way.

The first one is tricky for me. The curved mist is intriguing and I'd be loathe to give it up, but its inclusion brings a lot of featureless sky into view. I love the two trees, the leading lines of the tire tracks and the subtle shades of color in the more central areas of the shot. Wonder whether a more central crop might still adequately include the morning mist, and minimize the sky, and really draw attention to the trees and road?

I like your processing of the the second shot. But again a lot of bland sky, and an extension to the right of the tree of the same background we see directly behind it. Wondering about playing with a crop off the right, maybe even to a portrait orientation, or at least enough to reduce the inclusion of so much sky and a slighty redundant BG?

I really liked the first one for its fog patterns; i liked the second image more because it is doing more justice to the Art element. Even though a vertical crop is a nice idea, i equally like it as such, because it gives a sense of isolation, or walking ahead of the mass/time etc. I feel the tree is a Yogi

Andrew,

Two beautiful scenes.

You might want to consider cropping the left side of the first shot approximately half way between the tree and the edge. I believe that could give you a stronger composition.
The second shot is bang on as far as I am concerned. The negative space on the right of the tree contributes much to the serene atmosphere of the scene.

I really like the second image, it might also look good in BnW

Exactly what I thought when I scrolled to the second image so +1 to Binnur's comment...hope your consider this...

[FootLoose]

I like the 2nd shot a lot. I evokes a beautiful atmosphere for me.

I'm not so keen on the first one. Others have suggested reducing some of the sky, and cropping the left: I feel there is too much foreground in it, too.

I like the second shot very much. Binnur and Izzie are right. That is only my opinion.
Cheers Ole
