| THis reminds me of a scene from a move - Lord of the Rings in specific! Wonderful job! Excellent editing. |

Re: Gordon's post:
While I agree with G's evaluation and general premise, I find myself less eager to see an 'actor entering the stage'. To me, the scene provides several strong anchors already: the leading rock path as well as the numerous boulders strewn in the grass on the right of the image (foreground), the boulders delimiting the foreground.
I can derive considerable satisfaction from the emptiness of this scene, really. The absence of people, particularly, suggests (to me) a modest sanctum for dissociation ('modest' because the path is so obviously man-made).
I'd rather have a chair, cello or another 'object' in this setting than another 'one of us' in a gortex jacket, but I also and strongly feel that the image is complete and utterly enjoyable as is. |

| Awesome shot! I would love to hike this area. I would like to know what you did do to the picture if any? |

| Like many of your shots, Jon, this is brooding and moody and wonderful. Congratulations on the ribbon! Really nifty stuff! |

Jon - some thoughts - feel free to ignore them :)
First, I think this is a great shot as is. I'm just trying to think how to take it up a notch. I see a lot of good shots (this is not directed at you so much any more, but please indulge me) that could be considered great stages. The set design is perfect, the scene is set - but it needs the actor to arrive. This strikes me as one of those shots. Imaging a person walking off into the distance there, maybe a red rain jacket on, walking away from the camera, just passing over the near ridge, heading towards that mountain.
I'm increasingly seeing these sorts of opportunities where something could be added to really make the shot sing - in this case it would have really hit home on the 'country walking' theme too.
Something to maybe consider. |

I have come back several times to look at this shot.
I really like this, it's magnetic. Just wonderful. |

| Well done Jon - that's a great scene, well observed and shot. Post processed sky suits it well (if a little harsh) but this would accommodate a masthead beautifully! ; ) |

Thanks for comments - the blue remains elusive ;)
Cbeller & Jmsetzler - I tried it in B&W, that was the first thing I did, but the light is so flat with low cloud, and there isn't that much shape or texture here to bring out, so I went with a cold color feel.

Cool shot Jon - and another ribbon in a really competitive challenge - well done mate. The only slightly annoying thing about this shot is that I was supposed to be going to wales this week, but something, as ever, came up :-(. Good work.

Jon, this was one of my favorite photos in the challenge, but I never got around to commenting on much this week. This is an excellent photo. I love the angry feel of the clouds. The color here is nice but I'm wondering if you have experimented with a slightly contrasty and grainy b/w feel for this one...
Nice work :) |

| I think we would rather use this for our Trail Magazine in that there does not appear to be anyone walking in your image. Otherwise an excellent shot! |

| Only the flat lighting kept this out of my top 3 picks. It's just a little dreary- one ray of sunlight and you'd have a 10. Beautiful work! |

| Absolutely stunning. Your DOF is perfect and you caputed the proper exposure, not easy in a scene like this. |

Very much like the compostion. The top looks very artificially darkened, and IMO this detracts.
Just a touch more contrast in the foregound, and maybe a touch more saturation there would help to bring out the beautiful golden tones in the plants, and emphasize the contrast with the muted blue & gray of the distant peak. |

| I feel that this is just a bit dismal for the cover of a magazine that wants to promote walking. I know that I'd hesitate to start off under these conditions for fear of being caught in a storm. Apart from that, I really do like the image a lot, and scored accordingly. |
|
|
|
03/23/2004 02:29:23 PM |
I want to walk there!
This is a beautiful scene. I wish you would have shown more of the path on the left, it leaves the eye wanting to see more of it.
I would definitely see this on a magazine. 10
Good luck... |

| I love the atmosphere that you have captured here, more emphasis on the path I would have preffered, it's leads your eye away to the side of the picture - still a very nice photo - 8 |

|
03/22/2004 03:31:20 PM |
| Nice capture, would have been nice to see the peak, but I guess you couldn't dictate the conditions, that aside could actually see this as a magazine cover. |
|
|
|
03/22/2004 02:50:20 PM |
| Excellent composition. Clearly you had a magazine cover layout in mind when you framed this image. Also, the hiker's viewpoint would speak to a hiker and invite them to pick up a copy. Nicely done. |

03/22/2004 06:58:25 AM |
| beautiful shot but the black at the top is a little wrong I feel, did you fade that in or was it natural? It would have been a lot nicer if the sky blue had extended to the top |

Captures the mood well..I was hoping to do something similar but wasn`t brave enough to face the rotten weather....8

| This should win a ribbon if not for the fact that it's one of the best photos in the challenge but that you took the time to consciously make the photo the correct orientation to be a cover photo and edited in room for the title. It was refreshing seeing someone using their brain. 10 |
