Looking forward to putting it into practice this weekend!
It is not that the scene is busy, it is that as viewers, our eyes have no where to really go except into the drink in the center of the image. Slightly raising the lens (or camera) to include the whole curve and shape of the upper light rock form. Work with that form and its relationship to the form created by the pool.Quote:

Thank you!Quote:

Chris: I like the scene, very rustic looking. Seems a little over exposed. Nice shit.
Thanks Alan! I think I've been developing too cold, probably 15C or lower, and am planning to warm things up to 25c or so going forward. I agree it's muddy and lacks a bit of contrast. Thanks for the encouragement mate! I have 24 sheets loaded up for a long weekend away, hoping to get through most of them :)Quote:

I shot this in early spring when the leaves on the trees were still quite a light green. I used a yellow green filter to increase the effect. Shot with a 75mm 5.6 Super Angulon FP4+ in DDX.
