| I see what you were going for and reading what you have said I think if you had possibly had 1/3rd land and 2/3rds sky this would have given you more of the effect you were looking for :o) |

| Thank you again for your comments Talj. I see what you mean about lack of focal point. It is interesting what you have to say about shooting it in landscape format. I was going for an impression of the landscape under a big sky and decided to experiment with portrait format landscapes. I guess it just doesn̢۪t work because, as you say, the composition simply lacks interest and focus. |

It certainly looks like a nice day :o) I like the colours in the shot but feel the composition needs some work. Firstly I would have positioned myself so the trees on the left were not poking into the frame as I feel they are quite distracting. Secondly, although from your description I get the feeling you were capturing the nice day for me there is no real focal point in the shot. As the shot stands at the moment the half sky half land portrait isn't easy on the eye and I may have gone for a landscape orientation rather than portrait.
Is this a place you can revisit? Looking closer at the shot, across the water I can see what seems to be a nice curve in the land at the edge of the water, this to me would make a better place to stand to give a leading line and some foreground interest and detail that drags the viewer in and makes them want to look around at the rest of the shot. |
