Nice scene, but your mom is too centered within the frame. Plus, her head gets lost in the horizon line. If you had been able to crouch down a little to isolate her head in the sky and yet show the beautiful landscape that, to me, would have made a picture with more impact.
This works ...clearly a POV lol you use your mother as a model too. check out my shot for the desolation challenge. thats my mother with the broom. Coley
if you'd crouched just a bit, i bet you could've moved her head, and the top of the telescope, into the blue of the sky, where they might've shown up better. but this is really nice.
A nice image. It would have been interesting if perhaps you took the shot from over the shoulder of the lady whilst she was looking through the telescope at the scenic environment.
Hi mom :) Nice countryside! Some traces of artefacting around the top of the hills, and I would probably have composed the image without centering your main subject so much.
