 Yukk.. I'm very unhappy with this but it's the best I could do :(

No foreground detail, blown out highlights in the water, left side is distracting. Lotsa things wrong.

My intentions, however, are good.

Channel mix, threshold layer, dodge, burn, crop, selection, curves.

too much of the shot is too dark, Ansel would have more tonal range in the lower right portion, to show more detail there; subject matter, contrast and depth of field are on target

This image fits the high contrast style of Adams and is well composed and applies the rule of thirds to good effect. The vegitation on the left is almost oversharpened. The waterfall is a little overexposed topside and the dark area on the right is a bit distractive and should have a little more detail showing. You will never see either in Adams' work. I must admit, however, my own submission has that same darkside defect that I kick myself over now. I was going to correct it after submission but later did not have time.

Overall this is a tranquil image with a full range of tones. (Score: 6)
