This image really shows the effect of the fire, apparently the fire burned the hillsides but not down onto the cropland. I like the road leading into the scene and the orderly rows of crops. The image looks a little too sharp, too much structure or detail refinement? Posted: 12/05/2024 02:14:22
Hi Alex, I agree with Richard's comments. The image of the hillsides is so dramatic, it's great that you were able to capture it. The image does look a little too sharp, I have a habit of doing that myself. Posted: 12/08/2024 00:00:36
Yes, I agree with Lou and Richard -- nice photojournalism about the fire.
The image looks tilted down to the left, even if it wasn't shot that way. And yes, for my eye, too saturated and sharpened. Because there happened to be no clouds on the right, the sky looks unbalanced but the blue pond offsets that. Posted: 12/13/2024 00:17:16
