Description

This is an evening image taken in Toscana, Italy. I was intrigued by how the clouds kept rolling in and wanted to capture the mystique.

A beautiful misty scene, Gary. I think you conveyed your emotional response well. I do like the perspective, but when I spend some time looking at the image, I find myself really wanting to see more on the top (of course, not knowing what’s there it might be a total bust). Particularly my eye goes up that valley in the upper right corner and wants to keep going when I hit the edge.

Thanks for the feedback, Dennis! I’m glad you perceived the image as I hoped. I can see your point about wanting to see more of the image. That is the type of curiosity I want to convey. It could of course be debatted on whether the image should show more or not. I’ll play some more with different compositions. Thanks!
