Title: Up on top of the peaks
Post by: dTEA on 06 May 2013, 21:21

Whilst the week has seen plenty of sun I got one day off and it was moody. Top walk though:

Cracking shots, would like to see them in high contrast black and white especially number 2.

afraid these do nothing for me, too much foreground esp when you've got such a moody sky.

The first and third are good, the foreground works, but I can see what Ridg is saying about the foreground in the second and forth shots. In both of them the bottom 1/4 does very little and you wouldn't lose anything by cropping that out.

With the second shot, the rocks against the sky is the most interesting part, I would want to make that more prominent.

Kinda didn't do what I intended then  :grin:
It was meant to show the sheer bulk of size of the rocks with no2 with the back rocks in contrast to foreground. I've taken a shot previously with the rocks as the sole emphasis and wanted to try summat different. I also thought the angle of rock and angle of clouds were interesting lines against the horizontal standing stones.  :undecided:

I do know what you mean about the last one. Suppose its more about me capturing summat you have to know n have seen to make sense of the desolation up on the top. Cheers for feedback tho guys. More than you get on Flickr at times. "Great capture"  :grin:

You know, these actually look much better large. Viewing in on Flickr with the black background does wonders.
The first one in particular: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dtea74/8710403355/lightbox/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dtea74/8710403355/lightbox/)
