Description

This is the same shot as this one which I took almost 2 years ago, but I recently went through and took another look at some of my past shots for a portfolio, and coming across this one a friend suggested cropping it down, which I did, and this is it. And I have to say, I think I definitely prefer this version. So much so I felt the need to submit it :D

I am however still tossing up whether it should be cropped down further to lose the over exposed section of sky on the right. The dilema being I would also lose the contrasting dark on the left.

All thoughts welcome :aww:

This is a very attractive image. I like the composition, the angle of the bridge makes the landscape seem much longer than it actually is. The large range of colours in the clouds give the image a great depth, the sky seems to stretch out for hundreds of miles beyond the hills. The shadows on the hills created by the clouds are shown in perfect colour. The grass in the foreground appears painted.

The only thing I dislike about the image is that the clouds in the top right of the image are rather over-exposed; they are white and flat in that area. I think the decision to crop the image was an excellent one, this photo has much more impact than the original.

All in all, a beautiful job!
