Heather, Sky, clouds, mountain. I think them enough for a basic composition. Nothing more. Only what's necessary. Nothing more.

Hey David! Nice and simple.
I was wondering if this was cropped in landscape format, if the curve of the hilltop would become more of a focal point as there is a lot of sky in this image. I tried the crop below and it might or might not!
I did notice, however, once the hilltop was close to the top edge that it is slightly crooked (the left edge is higher than the right) so I straightened it too. This is not an issue in the portait format but if you do try a landscape format it is noticable.
Overall I like this one either way. I would like to hear your thoughts about the format.
As always David - nice work!
Hello Ruth,
Thanks for your reply.
Well, the crop has not been changed. The crop is right the top of the moutain. A curved and dulled summit. As to the sky, I like inserting some in my photographies . the aim is to give some "perspective in height", increase te sensation of height, the feeling of being on a summit and then being surrounded by nothing else but sky and clouds.
On the other hand, the borrder between the pathway and the heather may not be a good choice from me. It makes a non-balance photography. Actually, I tried to emphasize the soil in differenciating the rocks (left), the pathway (middle) and the heather (right). And it's probably not a succcess.
Interesting! I think this one might work best if you went for one thing or the other. If you want to go for "big open sky on summit" I would do less earth. I you want to emphasize the soil/path/heather then more earth than sky. Both would work and you would get two images instead of one!
