I might have cropped the left hand shot just below the green shoreline, to accentuate the water, as the shore really doesn't add much long perspective, at least to my eye.
The right hand shot, though, gives us that long, wonderful view up the river, and the woods and their relationship to the water is very pleasing.
Both shots are really nice water exposures, well exposed and beautiful. :) |
A very helpful comment, and I appreciate it very much. I tried several different crops, even some as you descibe, but I kept coming back to that one for some reason. I plan to go back there soon and take some more, hopefully better, shots. It was pretty overcast that day and I had never used the higher ISO settings on my new camera. I didn't want to waste the small amout of time I had and end up with grainy images. Since then I have found that the camera actually takes very good photos at the higher ISO settings. In my opinion, they are much better than I used to get with high-speed film in my Canon A-1.
