No need to yell. My point was only that from a photographic point of view I felt as if the shot needed a focal spot (the jeep). I admitted that a person would have worked as well. I feel as if the photograph would have been empty without something there. I understand that you are against advertisement. I enjoyed my time in the jeep and had no problem portraying that. I don't personally sell jeeps but I don't have a problem with anyone that does. Sorry to upset you. |
This person has, obviously, never been to Sedona. Once you get up into the rocks, you see tour Jeeps everywhere. They're as common as cacti are in the valley. I'm just glad the one in your photo wasn't one of the pink ones! :)) :)) ;)
I think the Jeep is a PERFECT addition to this shot. It only looks like an "ad" to those who see it that way for lack of experience. |

The color in this picture is just amazing. I will say that you may be contact by Jeep soon, because I too feel that it seems like an advertisment - however it is a good advertisment. This is almost like the images you see in the vehicle brochures.
Very well done.
BTW: The little plant off to the right kinda takes my eyes from the rocks on the left. |

Do you honestly think it would be a better photo without the jeep in it? I highly disagree. Perhaps if there was something else at that focal spot to take its place like a person but the Jeep really fits this scene and it has a personality in a way because of the facelike grill and that the vehicle was very much a part of the offroad adventure. In a way I felt as if people would connect more with the Jeep than they would with a person. (although I do have a few person shots from this area that I mean to upload soon) |

| I like the sky, but the rocks feel overdone. Part of what makes the work of Joey, heida and the other Photoshop masters around here so impressive is that they know when to stop. The tree that snuck into the right side of the image is a bit distracting. Cloning or cropping it out would have improved the composition. |
