Image Description
This is the same Mustard Canyon subject as ‘It’ https://community.naturephotographers.network/t/it/40856but from a different point of view. I modified the color substantially because I didn’t like the yellow and white combination that it actually had.
Technical Details
GFX50R, 45-100mm, f/11, focus stacked
Specific Feedback
I’m looking for aesthetic, conceptual, and emotional feedback but mostly conceptual and emotional. Technical feedback is also appreciated.
Initial reaction is to be quietly astonished by this visual haiku. I am glad that you chose to keep the dark crevice in the lower right; seems to provide an anchor for an otherwise fine-textured scene.
Igor,
I really have no idea what I am viewing, but I find it interesting and intriguing due to the various textures along with the color palette. My first reaction was some snow or ice on a rock face, but now I am not so sure. I too like the diagonal crack in the LRC as it adds a bit of visual tension to the scene. Nicely done.
Nice image with great textures and pleasing color palette. Nice composition with the slight diagonal tilt. I assume I’m looking at some ice covered rock or mud. Doesn’t really matter what the subject is. The image is all about other things.
