Hi Pat. I checked your bio before giving this critique, so I'm sure you can handle it. I was drawn to the shot by the dramatic light and shadow at the top, and I wanted to find out what was in the lower part of the image. What I discovered was a clump of dull green bushes. The composition is nice, but the subdued foreground doesn't do anything for me with the dramatic background. I like some of your other shots, so I'll go to them now.

Thanks a lot for your great critic.. I really apreciate your time and great comment. I thought that the bushes added great interest specially being in threes but I guess I might of been wrong or it is a question of taste. I really apreciate your time. You seem to know the art really well. Thanks again

love the colors and composition here; the light in the background is lovely soft; the only objection I have are these strong dark shadows on the hills - I would like to see there some details
regards

Patrick, your use of the ND grad filter is masterly, as ever, but I'm wondering if a similar effect could also be achieved (with the camera on a tripod of course) by taking two shots with different exposures and then blending them in PhotoShop. ND filters are a no-no with rangefinders like mine... too much guess work.

Wonderful shot. Amazing colors. With regards to James' critique - maybe he has a point... I think this image looks great the way it is. The grass in the forefront adds yet another vivid color. However, I think that this image could equally well be cropped just below the base of the mountains - it would still be dramatic - although less creative at that point.
This works for me. Great job!!!!!

I disagree with James, I like the foreground which I think adds the image.. but, the contrast between the darker forground and brighter background may be what is distracting him...I have heard that it is not good to put something in the foreground like this on a landscape.. well, I think it is nonsense..some of the best landscape photos I have ever seen had a object in the foreground.. besides, whenever they create a rule in photography... the first thing to do is to break it.. nice work..

pat, this is so good it is beyond description. contrary to james' comment, i like the bushes. unless you've been to the desert it's hard to comprehend how difficult compositions can be. you have taken that usually dull yucca (i think it's yucca) and made it part of this majestic landscape. a part that it rightfully deserves. the use of it reflects very accurately what this landscape looks and feels like. whether the item itself is dull or not, is irrelevant. the fact is that it "is" part of this landscape and minimizing or removing it, would remove paragraphs from the story. i most definitely like your unabridged very much!
take care,
tom

I like the bushes in the forground..colors look natural, and to my taste, adds strength to the overall composition. Kudos!

Thanks for the honesty and detail of filters.
I have looked at your images many times and always thought - oh - I could do that I just need a 2 or 4 stop ND filter and so on. I also thinnk that a lot of your images are underexposed - but O know that is not so - its a technique I use to increase colour saturation = anyway - I am sure you dont need me to tell you that ypu have soke wonderfull images - mine are perhaps more traditional - www.davidtasker.com
