May 2025 - Palouse Landscape
About the Image(s)
From my archives - I captured this view because of its minimalist nature. It's not your typical image of the Palouse region's rolling hills. Beyond basics, I enhanced the colors, removed a couple of objects/spots, cropped to a panoramic and added a slight vignette. ISO 200, 170mm, f5.6, 1/500 sec.

Hi Darcy
Very nice.
Love this minimal image with three well-proportioned elements, making the whole scene well balanced.
Landscape presentation definitely works well for this image, with the subtle tonal change in the sky and foreground adding texture to the image
As an experiment, try flipping the image on the horizon to see if the viewer is drawn into the image from left to right.
Nice, thanks for sharing

Hi Tom - Great suggestion! I flipped the image horizontally. I knew it would be a better composition not only to invite the viewer eye into the image but also to remain in the image longer. Thank you - Posted: 05/10/2025 14:03:06
Hi Darcy. As you may have guessed, I am definitely drawn to minimalist images and this is an excellent example, well composed and edited. Flipping the image horizontally is a good idea, but I like everything about it. Lovely serene feeling. Posted: 05/11/2025 20:46:36
