Challenge:Best of 2004 (Advanced Editing III*) Camera:Nikon D70 Location: Hayden Valley In Yellowstone National Park Wyoming Date: Sep 9, 2004 Aperture: f 11 ISO: 200 Shutter: 1/250 Galleries:Landscape, Nature Date Uploaded: Jan 14, 2005
Beautiful copmposition and worthy of a Post Card. Only things I see here that could use improvement is a possibly a little darker with more contrast or some saturation boost as it looks a bit "flat". Nicely done. ((7))
nice use of the classic S curve to pull your viewer through the image. A tad more height might make the composition stronger. I'd also rather see this shot closer to sunset. The colors are good, but I think the light is a bit strong. 8
Nice sensitivity to light, a pleasing and well-composed landscape. I wish the frightmost curve of the river were not so perfectly tangent to the right edge of the frame; I's like to see a whisper of yellow grasses there.
absolutely beautiful. i can't help but wonder, though, what this looked like 30 minutes later, 45 minutes later, and hour later. sure hope i live long enough to find out. thanks for sharing. as i can't offer anything else, i'll just sit and enjoy this a bit. good luck with the challenge!
Beautiful valley on a lovely day! It is the S shape of the river which holds my attention. However, as such, I wish there were more river and less pavement. Another moment, perhaps, when the centered mountains were not darkened by the clouds could also improve the impact of your image. Still, lovely overall.
