Michael Higgins's picture

Took my time

What do you think of this composition?

For once, rather than go frantic and try to get multiple sunrise shots in one go, I took my time with a single composition, making large adjustments with my tripod, then smaller and smaller until I felt it worked best this way. I didn't crop. I have no quarrel with cropping, I do it all the time, but my goal was to not crop.

(I did fail to notice that the branches top right were blowing around and have motion blur.)

i like this shot the movement dosent bother me colors are awesome reflection is really nice it might be a tad dark but if you brought down the shadows you might lose the intensity of the light and colors all in all nice shot

Hey Joseph, thanks i appreciate it.

Very nice. A little too saturated for my taste, but that's just me. Motion in the image is not an issue. Great reflections and nice sky. I like the curve of the river leading your eye to the horizon. I think it might work a little better as a 16:9, cropping away the small patch of grass in bottom left.

Thanks David. I looked at cropping off the bottom left grass, but didn't like losing the area for the viewer to walk in at the bottom right. Glad you like it, thanks.

Nice place. nice image.
