Rock Wall Reflection

Gallery: LandscapePosted February 20, 2015172 views3 comments

Recently photgraphed this along the Merced River. Because of the angle, I could not include all of the granite wall. I felt reflection was the main interst in the photograph. I used NikSoftware-neutral density filter to adjust the lighting, added saturation, ajusted the hues on the granite and added some brilliance and warm to the image. As always I welcome you comments. A great way to learn.

Some interesting color here, Floyd, although I think the composition is trying to do too much. Perhaps less granite wall and more reflection, since that was your focus, would have been a better take. I could see cropping down from the top for a more pano format. There is some softness on the right edge of the wall that looks odd.

I can see what you were after, Floyd, but I agree with Dave's comments.

Also, the rock is very ancient metamorphosed sedimentary rock and volcanics, rather than granite.

Nice color, light and reflection. I think D.A. has given some good comments to improve the image.
