Tri, I hope you don't mind a little critique even though you did not specifically ask for one.
The potential for this scene is very high, and I realize that you were probably rushed to record it. What I find lacking in the image are the left and right sides of the image. Neither one strengthens the middle of the image. Cropping mid-palm on the left seems to confuse what the eye is suppose to do there (best I can figure how to describe it). The openness on the right edge seems to distract one from moving easily towards the middle. These are compositional issue I have to deal with constantly in the redwoods.
A quick crop to a square image just to demo the change in how the sides work (and I do like the square format!)
Thank you for your patience with me!

I like it the way it is. Yours is too sterile Vaughn. Some photos I have made a dozen times and still find something not right. Then if you look back to the first one, its not really all that bad. The point is it is Tri's photo, not yours, so reflects his vision, and working on instinct usually produces the least artificial results. It reminds me of a photo of palms in the BTZS book that I admire.
For me it is about the curving road that the leafy bits trace in the sky, the extrapolation of the road into the sky, cropping it destroys that. It makes me want to go down the road to see where it leads, and to feel the shadows falling on me.
Thank you Nicolas , I am really enjoying your mountain scenes, Particully the one with the glacier , The thing that really appeals to me is the way the jagged texture of the glacier leads you into the softness of the clouds punctuated by the peaks breaking through , Stunning!! Cheers GaryQuote:
