Title: Ghost Ranch
Post by: Dave Pluimer on May 09, 2014, 05:35:57 pm

From the Chimney Rock trail, looking southeast. Took a different route with tonality, colors, and sharpening than I have with other images. I welcome any and all feedback.

Canon 6D, Canon 24-70 f/2.8 L - f/11, 1/160s

It looks technically competent, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at. There's a big rock in the foreground and some striped stuff over to the right, but nothing much else to catch the eye.

What did you see?

Thanks. The vista is what got my attention. I was concentrating on finding foreground elements when I went on this hike. I like the scene. But, I also agree that I didn't find and create a hook.
