Grand Canyon is wow. But isn't it usually erm less blue?
Covered is okay. I mean, I get the choice but kinda feel that if the field were actually covered in them then a higher perspective would have conveyed it better? Good DoF though and vibrant colours.
Coloured is a cracker. I love how the light falls away, particularly on the left and into the greenery. Colours are nice and bright but not overdone. Love it.
Ps how did you get the perspective for coloured? Been climbing trees?
It's actually taken from a small footbridge which spans the forest floor below. Quite a cool perspective. Not sure I'd have the bottle to climb a tree that high!
And another couple of great shots Matt !!!
The inclusion of the strip of cloudy sky really makes the covered image for me, and the positioning of the in-focus buttercup is bang on
Coloured is a spot of magic, not sure and do not really care if it is staged it works brilliantly either way <EDIT> I see it was your girlfriend, still love it, perfect placement again
Where on earth were you looking from ??
Hiya Matt
I love the image for Rough. Superb capture. I might have been tempted to stick an angled grad on the foreground to bring that down a bit or even just crop it out because it's the midground range of canyons which are the shot for me - amazing light and layers. I like whatever processing you've done on the sky - it works brilliantly!
Covered - nice shot, good horizon placement and foreground buttercup. Nice!
Coloured - ditto... good use of thirds and light/shade. These two images could be a lesson in composition
Top notch mate!
Thanks Carl!Hi Matt. Both excellent shots - of course buttercups works for Covered. Lovely summery colours with those green, yellows and blues. Coloured is excellent too - brilliant composition.
I know where that is I think, opposite the cemetery ?
That's a nice different idea Matt, works okay, composition wise I like it, and if there were as you say a few more cars it would be great, still a good effort
Wow... thought it was one image, for stacked it sure was a lean nightThanks for the comments everyone
Thanks DK - yeah, I think it would've been stronger with more trails, not helped by the fact it gets dark so late these days. As it is, I stacked probably 7-8 photos into 1 photo that contained all the trails I captured - certainly not much traffic that time of night.
