Hello Christopher Thank you for posting here

Your image is very nice and very well done.

[MiniChris]

Bluebell woods, lightly dusted with HDR. I kind of like it but it's missing something ..... or it's got too much of something

It is not lacking, it is overing...my word. It lacks a sense of aerial perspective - the background has too much depth. If you would take the brightest tree in the back and drop its tonal value by half, and the tree in the front right down by 1/3, I think you would see a dramatic difference in this scene..

I would like to see you to try this Chris.

Sincerely. Honestly. Because I believe that some pictures can be saved if submitted to the right "treatment". I did happen to me more than once !

[MiniChris]

I did have to do some dodging and bunring and I did do a slight crop and a minor overlay...I chose to make the center flower area brighter and the area around it darker to draw emphasis...who knows..better, worse, somethng different.

Banner Peak looms over Thousand Island Lake in Ansel Adams Wilderness, California. Click to enlarge.

very colourful panorama, I like it
at first sight i would cut a bit the sky, in order to leave it in the upper third of the frame.
Perhaps including something closer to the camera in the foreground would increase the "feeling of depth" coming from the perspective (also the blueish UV haze on the mountain improves the depth of the picture).
nice shot

new bike picture

very nice shot Vandenberg, as usual,
but I don't understand the focus.. why half bike is out of focus and the door and the step on the right side is in focus?
why don't you blurr the step and the door? my eyes are rebounding from left to right (what is the subject?)
sorry if I don't understand...

i shoot most of the time on 1.4 it's only a thin line with sharpness
i can blur the door, but i did n notice it
also the add on noise and sharpening makes you see it more

one more bike photo

I know how narrow is DOF at 1.4, and how it changes in relation with the distance from the focus point, i mean if you were closer to the bike, the step/door will be out of focus, but I think you use a 50mm prime lens, so if you get closer to the bike the point of view change...
you need a 24mm 1.4

i wanna have a Carl Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 ZF.2 Planar T*

Thank you for the feedback Nicola! I hope to return to this location with a real DSLR sometime this summer. I will keep your composition suggestions in mind. I also hope to attempt my own version of Ansel Adam's iconic photo:


Found here.

Ansel Adam's sons were kind enough to provide GPS coordinates for the shot.

@nicola
here you have the same as on the other picture
only here it creates more depth

an other nice one! I will try to emulate your shots during my next walk with my camera(unluckly I haven't shot since the last month... ) It will be not easy!!

... watching again your picture, perhaps I would tone down the red chain.. it is a bit distracting since is more colourfull than the rest

Your goal is as good as ambitious!
I think it's a good way to inprove! A really good opportunity!
let us see the results when available!
cheers

yes, you are right.. more depth!
I like the focus position: both the flowers on the bikes and on the left (bush) are in the thin focus plane!
