Mountain Study
by Larry Fischer
Taken in August on the Matthews River Drainage in northern Alaska. The Matthews River is in the basin featured in the photo. These mountains are not really tall, under 5000 feet, but they are the oldest mountains in AK and are worn down--therefore, very craggy and good home for Dall Sheep. I saw several grizzlies and moose, too, along with various birds, mostly raptors.
There are a few grayling fish in the river.
I've thought twice about posting this shot. At first it didn't do much for me but looking at it several times, perhaps with good memories, I thought, why not.

Nikon D700, Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 manual lens.
Constructive criticisms sought.

3 commentsNow if you want a critique like a judge might give....... this image is all about the left side and the top. The bottom right is too empty. You might consider playing around with cropping a bit off the bottom and right and see if you could pull the eye more toward those peaks at the top
But, like I said I like what you have.
Thanks for playing "judge". That's what I need.
I'll play with your suggestion.
I looked at this and looked at this photo. Then I justified the dark left section as "contrast" with the "white left with the dark oblique leading to the left, then up to the peaks.
But, not the best photo and more personal remembrance than anything else.
Thanks for your time.
We need more posts on CSNP.... Where is yours???
