Here are a few more from my two favorite parks. C&C always welcome.


A lone tree along the Firehole River.

    Awesome job, Kristine! My favorite is the 1st shot. I love how the fog isolates that lone tree from the rest of its companions. The pano crop is great too. I do have a suggestion, if you don't mind: The pano is a bit too "skinny," I think. You could afford to crop a little from the left side; perhaps make it a 2 x 1 format. That way the lone tree is given more attention and it will won't be as centered in the frame. What do you think?

    I love the colors of the 2nd and 3rd shot. Really nice job! clap.gifthumb.gif
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    I think the 3rd one has a lot of potential but I'd like to see a bit of detail brought out in the foreground shadows.

    Hi Kristine,

    I love the drama and color in the third. It just doesn't get any better than snow-capped mountains and sunset!

    It does look a little tilted but who can really say with the shape of the waterline and the changing altitude of the peaks? The fact that it's a little dark and can use a bit more "pop" is more distracting than the leveling, IMO. But what a great set and I'm so jealous of having such things near you thumb.gif

    Thanks for the comments. Please keep the critiques coming. I'll post some re-edited shots probably tomorrow (I'm wiped out after working 11 hours)
