Hi guys! Love seeing all your images in here. So much good stuff!
I am just wondering what you think of this image. I really like the colors and the background with those huge mountains, but I'm not comfortable about the foreground. I know I rush things when I'm out shooting sunrises like this, and I am standing in deep mud when shooting, but do you think I should get down lower and add more of those white cotton flowers?
Thoughts?
BTW, the image is from Rondane in Norway. An absolutely stunning national park.
The master of these pictures is Glenn Randall, you can check out his portfolio or bbook. He explains how hard it is to have a good dense-looking clump of wildflowers in the foreground, he had to come back year after year until he got the good clump.
Sound like he has a passion for these. Ill check him out. Unfortunately this location is a good 9 hours drive from my home, so I'm not sure how often I will return :) Thanks buddy!
Nice! I wish I had a more defined subject to look at in the foreground. The bottom crop is pretty abrupt too.
I absolutely agree. It`s a shame that I couldn't find a better composition having these amazing surroundings and light.
I think either a lower angle or a wider lens could help with the effect you're looking for.
Overall, I like this picture, but the balance does seem a little off, as does the crop at the bottom.
Either way, still an amazing scene. Nicely shot.
Wide-angle portrait orientation may make it a little easier to isolate foreground interest In these situations. I was shooting the California super-bloom last month and faced similar issues despite the acres of flower patches.
You’ll sacrifice some of the overall landscape, but gain a lot of depth, similar to what you did in your, “The Old Oak, shot. As-is, still a beautiful scene.
