You caught this at a good time of day for those shadows.

Comment by Germaine:
I don't really get impressionism out of this, but it's still a good shot. I love the tones and the texture of the surfaces. I think you did a good job capturing the feel of Mesa Verde.

If you look at this from just the right distance it is a perfect and rich distillation of the heavenly blue morning glory experience. The heavenly blue blue is one of the most challenging blues.

Comment by Bear_Music:
That's a MUCH stronger rendering of Mesa Verde than the one I commented on the other day. Well done!

Comment by SaraR:
I think maybe you are trying to distill the subject down to a simplified view of the structure. Not sure it works entirely - to me the walls and other features seem as though they are receding into the distance, and I want to reach out and pull them closer. I also find myself trying to define what various elements are - obviously not what you want with impressionism, and that may very well be a fault of mine as a viewer.

Comment by NeVeRyn:
Having been to Mesa Verde, I remember this place very well - 26 years later. I don't really get the sense of impressionism - it feels too smooth and soft looking, it doesn't portray the feeling you get standing there - halfway up a cliff, treetops at your feet, deep shadows colored by ages old fire.

Great texture. I love any photo of dogs. Love the uplifted paw. :)

Nice pet picture. It's great to get out there with the dogs! I would love to see something dynamic added to the image... some motion, a different perspective, some DoF... Otherwise, with your description, the dogs have a good character.
