Dawn on the Lewis River

This Image was taken this morning around 7:15am
Still pretty dark out but I liked the fog and the flow of the river...

Comments and critiques please as this is an area I am close to and like to photograph..

Thanks
Darren

The image has nice piunch to ti, but really dislike that frame

I agree, lose the frame

do ya think its better like this

Hi Darren,

I like it as well (didn't dig the frame, though). The mist is cool, makes you want to see around the corner - drawing you into the photo. Nice work.

Oh, yeah, no frame, really sweet. I'd go for just a hair more space above and left of the building though. If you mat this, you'll loose an eighth inch on both edges and you'll be quite tight.

The fog and the rock looks a little red to me, how do the numbers look? Maybe de-sat the reds/magentas a bit... Better without the internal frame distorting the edges.

IMHO & all...I would crop some off the bottom, I find the final swoosh of water at the bottom distracting &c.....but neat comp, you've got a neat misty feeling to this image, and the small tree at the top of the right bank of the river is intriguing. Passes the CMT (Crappy Monitor Test) too. Nice work.

A nice moody image.

This is another scene where I would have been tempted to compress the dynamic range by combining a few exposures.

I'm ALL OVER THIS without the frame effect!! Mark is right about the matting so keep that in mind standing behind the tripod...

The fog is what really makes this work for me!! Well done!!!

thanks for all the comments good and bad.....if the weather works out this weekend Ill be back up there to work it some more....

Swami, as soon as I learn how to blend images I will do that....
