Pine Cone At Lake.
-
There’s too much light in the foreground. If I could darken it it would improve the shot I think.
It’s out of focus as well.
There is an outstanding shot in the making at this location though, what with the available light on the mountains etc. Where is it?
I wish people would stop suggesting this ‘foreground interest’ thing-
following that suggestion (because it’s not a ‘rule’) has pretty much ruined a promising scene-
although maybe you have one without the object, or the flash?It seems that ‘foreground interest’ can be easily misconstrued,
resulting in a search for objects to populate the frame.
In this case, perhaps moving towards the water,
and making something of the reflections in the ripples might have produced a different interpretation?Distant panoramas can be problematic, where to they stop?
They’re usually a linear element in the middle of the picture;
in this case, perhaps a longer lens might have excluded the clouds at the top,
which don’t seem to be contributing greatly to the composition-The flash might seem to be completely unnecessary, I’d turn it off if I were you.
I never turn mine on, unless it’s to fire others that aren’t sitting on top of my lens-
However, in this picture, it might just have worked,
if you had moved the cones out of the way-Hopefully you’ve got others here-
there might be suggestions that you can darken the foreground,
but if that cone is the subject of the picture, then unfortunately, it’s not in focus-Nice light on the mountains, and in the reflections-
Could be anywhere, I suppose, but it looks a bit like Greece, to me…
