Another redo of a D60 JPG using ACR. A fortuitous morning return after a light snowfall.

Same observation as your previous posting; that center foreground plant detracts from your image. It draws the viewer's eye first away from the far distance where the real beauty of the canyon lies.

To me the problem with the foliage in the foreground is that it appears to be out of focus (both center and near the edge), or at least it would appeal to me more if it were all sharp. Focus stacking might be needed to get it the entire image sharp. Otherwise I really like the images.

I usually agree with other UHH'ers comments but I think the foreground foliage gives a feeling of the depth that the GC gives you to image.

I agree, although I would like it either way if the foliage was sharp in the image that has it. Both have positives and there's room for personal preference in this type of image IMHO.

Thanks, all, for the constructive comments. I've been having much fun revisiting these old photos, converting them to landscapes, and improving my library and sundry shows.
Of course, composition choices abound, and I respect others' thoughts. However, largely for the above reason, we chose a composition that leaves the foreground foliage in.
