its a lovely shot, really crisp.. I love the lone figure among all those layers of landscape — really adds scale and depth.. The only thing i’m not sure about is leaving the sky it at the top – there’s no detail and to me it takes away from the shot.

There’s so much going on in this picture. The landscape itself is very over powering and i think it you cropped it right down
it would make it much more effective. i’d definitely crop alot tighter though. That said, excellent composition, lovely texture and its definitely the makings of a good shot. :)I would probably agree with taking the sky out but leave the trees at the top. This is an excellent composition really liked the layers of landscape too. This one really looks like its telling a story (to me anyway) looks like the guy is off up the hill and has to get across that river first.
Agree with Lorraine, the sky at the top really takes away from this shot… And it also looks like there’s a bit of purple fringing around the tops of the trees, but that could just be my eyes playing tricks on me. As I was first scrolling down, I thought “this isn’t that great” until I got farther down and the detail (especially the lone walker) really blew me away. There is a hell of a lot to look at here though, which can be both good and bad. Personally, it really works for me.
A square crop might be interesting. ie from the bottom as high as it is wide.
I like the position of the guy in the photograph, too much going on in the trees etc…
It was one of those pictures that by the time you’ve scrolled to the bottom, you’re not sure whether you’ve just looked at two pictures or only one and then need to scroll back up to check. Without the man at the river, I wouldn’t have been impressed, with him, I am. Pity about the haze/purple on the trees at the top and the middle could be oversharp, but it is the foreground that makes this image.
Hmmm…I think it could be improved a lot with more contrast rather than cropping the sky…
It’s a good shot, I think it just needs to be corrected…How to do that though, I’m not fully sure!!!
thank you all for your great feedback!!! i’ve tried and taken on board a lot of what you said and this is the result so far:
It *does* make a big difference with the sky gone. It might be a bit better if you link the medium sized image from flickr rather than the large, though, so that we don’t have to scroll to see the whole thing? I find that if I can’t see the whole image at one go, it’s hard to say how good the image as-a-whole is. I can click later to see finer details if I want.
fair enough, sorry about that, i’ll post another but unfortunately it’s pretty small
Seeing it now all on screen at the same time, I really like the composition of it without the sky
