Hi, Jeff, I like the foreground. It contrasts nicely against the "layers" of hills as they gradually fade into the haze.
Hi, Boris, I guess I'll "damn with faint praise". It's a pretty picture: it would make a nice postcard or calendar. As I said above, I like the strong foreground, and the hills gradually fading into the haze. I like the pattern of the clouds with the sun streaming thruogh. That being said, it doesn't "grab" me. It's just there - nothing wrong with it, but nothing great, either. That's not to say that I could do better; indeed, I have dozens upon dozens of images like that hanging around, and like yours, they are all "just pretty pictures". I think that you did the best you could with what you were presented with. I'd give it a solid (if unspectacular) 6 out of 10. Hope you don't mind me being honest. <vbg> cheers, frank Jeff wrote: > Shalom Boris, > I love scenes with misty or foggy rolling hills. > Your image has a distracting foreground.
