Of course the first thing I noticed (and apparently a few others) was all the negative space at the top of the image. Well you're in luck, I happen to dig images with a lot of negative space! Unfortunately straight negative space doesn't always net a person a high score from me. There are a few things that kept me from scoring this image higher than I did. (I gave you a 5)
1- The clouds have some detail near the horizon, but for the most part are completely void of any detail at all. I feel, if this were a stormy mottled sky a blue sky, or if the sky were speckled with clouds, then you could really take advantage of your negative space.
2- I noticed that the trees are cropped VERY tightly near the bottom. I don't mind barely seeing the trees, but I would rather not see sky in the breaks of the treeline where the trees have been cropped off.
3- Contrast. The trees seem very drab and in my opinion should hold a much darker value. This (along with less of a crop at the bottom) would help to solidify the image visually...giving it some weight to offset the heavy sky.
Like I said, I like this type of shot and you are on the verge a VERY impressive shot (imho), keep up the good work!
This so reminds me of home, back on Montana when you are sitting on top of the mountain and just gazing in amazement at the wonder of it all. But the over abundance of sky on this shot is not helpful to me pesonally, I would have liked to seen more land, a more evened balance, if you will. The shot could also be brightened just a tad to really help it pop out. A 4
The vast amount of negative space here does evoke emotions that verge on the sacred. It still appears slightly dark, though. You might try fiddling with your levels, and perhaps some contrast. Well seen.
This would have been amazing had the sky been deep blue contrasting against the fog sitting behind those trees. The overcast day has prevented you from bringing out the colors the way you wanted, which is a pity. I guess we can't all have sunny days and blue skies all the time.
lots of gray clouds, and more gray clouds. a bit too much clouds, and no real focus for the eye- and believe me, i normally love sky. a bit more of the pillowy blue and its golden, perhaps as a panoramic?
