[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 31911, member: 1573"] Johnathan, I think your choice of using vertical was a good one because I think the real attraction in this pic is the reeds against the water. I think you just included too much in the photo. I'm at the point that whenever I shoot a landscape, I autobracket for HDR, even though I don't always process for HDR. I believe in keeping my options. You can always throw out captures, but once you move the camera, that's it. Post processing is more than just fixing or enhancing a photo. It's also about discovering what inspired you to press the shutter. Not every photo has to tell a story. Photography is very personal . . . we take photos of scenes that make us feel a certain way, and sometimes the "aha" moment doesn't happen until we've "played" with the photo for awhile. I seldom download someone else's pic and process it, but I took this liberty with yours because it was just easier to show you than to write it all out. I think your photo has merit and I like the feel of the grass against the water. I get a nice feeling from it and can almost hear the breeze through the rushes and smell the grass and water.
