I like the swooping look of this composition. I think it would be even better without the parking lot, roads, and viewing platform at the bottom. They seem to be causing unnecessary distractions. I would recommend cropping the bottom of the image up to the bottom of the water, and perhaps a little into the water. That makes a simpler picture with all the lines leading towards the center. The roads along the sides would be more obvious in adding to that effect. The clouds are nice, but a day where there are even more clouds that enhance that swooping look toward the center would make a phenomenal image!   Posted: 07/07/2024 21:42:27

Hi Lisa, I like your image and the way my eye is funneled into the distance. I agree with Drema about removing the parking lot etc. I think that if taken from a higher altitude the image would have even more depth.   Posted: 07/08/2024 20:42:52

I like this view with the rail lines, road, and lakes leading to the horizon. But the curve around the bend is not shown, I think is the curve is the most important aspect of the location. I'm hoping to make a road trip out that way this summer.   Posted: 07/10/2024 16:24:39

Very cool. You have to love how you are pulled into the image by the roads. That said, ideally leading lines should lead somewhere, and without a stronger sky to my eye you just go to empty space.   Posted: 07/17/2024 01:13:01

Lisa, I really can't add anything that has not already been said by others about your posted image. However, I really like the image identified as Original, which obviously isn't.I think it has the potential to be a very interesting image.   Posted: 07/21/2024 21:35:12
