[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 8772, member: 654"] Very good scenic shot. I like it. It gives a sense of pastoral peace. Everyone knows of the 1/3 composition guide line for scenic shots. But there is also a 1/6 guide line which is more difficult to make work. And it's the 1/6 composition you have in this shot and it works very well. One is the green pasture in the foreground, two is the cows, three is the brown woods line, four is the pasture with its green pastures and snow, five is the dark mountains, and finally six is the cloud covered sky. The six levels give the composition a lot of depth. However, you used a portrait format when a scenic format would have worked a lot better to complement the horizontal lines of the scene. A good part of the green pasture in the foreground needs to be cropped out, as it's distracting. It also needs a little more detail in the shadows. Try re-cropping to horizontal and lighten up on the shadows and see how that works. [/QUOTE]
