Very nice composition Guy, I think portrait was a good choice for this location. I like that you arranged the stream to flow diagonally through the image and there is a nice balance between the stream rocks and foliage. Glad that the foliage color is somewhat muted and doesn’t attempt to overwhelm the scene with “louder” colors.
The mix of trunk and branch lines with the clinging color is very nice. The whiter trunks on the right add a lot.
I wrestle with partial streams like this because they feel a bit cut off to me; they lead my eye in directions that miss the better stuff above. This is a constant battle I find with my own photography trying to capture the wonderful rivers and streams we have around here; maybe I just worry about it too much.
Hi @elizabeth, @Jim_Lockhart , @John_Williams, Thank you for taking time to consider and comment on this image. I hope it allowed you to share a moment of Vermont Autumn.
