Specific Feedback and Self-Critique
Wondering if foreground too cluttered and any other comments are appreciated.
Whoa!! This one grabbed me from the thumbnails and I love it! Wonderful light and composition, with restrained saturation and tonalities and a pleasing white balance. The rabbitbrush gives it a lovely depth and adds interest. The blush of light on it and the rock just behind it is lovely!
It might be interesting to play with very slightly subduing the two rocks in the midground, and/or punching up the ones in the BG.
You have some incredible light and color here, Mario. Wow. The foreground is not too cluttered at all. In fact, it adds to the scene, providing a lead for my eye into the background. Excellent, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Well I don’t need to say much about this one - it’s very nice indeed.
I would spend a bit more time on the cloning in the bottom left area as there are a lot of very obviously repeating patterns. I can see why you’ve done it and it works from a distance but once you see the repeats it’s difficult to ignore.
I don’t know what was in the foreground before but would there have been a way to mitigate it in the field? If not, I would have just cropped from the bottom edge.
What an amazing scene though! Beautifully photographed and a very memorable moment I imagine!
