I like them all, except the second one is not as good as the first. In this case, centered is better.


Thanks for the vote and the why!!!

I agree with this comment. It was the first thing I noticed. It seems a little off center to me. Nice shots, Beth, as usual. You should show us some of your bad shots. Just to make us all feel better. LOL

I like the centered one best. It's what I would be looking at if I were there. These are really nice images, and show of your skill well.

So, yes I am not good at deciding what is the best composition. I suppose it will vary from person to person. I could never be a pro that sells photos as I could not decide which is the best.

So thanks for your patience when I post a few of the same subject. It is hard when I find something very beautiful.


Of the first three images, I prefer image 1, the “Centered best”. It provides a symmetrical composition which feels pleasing. Consider cropping the bottom just a bit, bring the horizon to vertical center. Also, consider cropping the right side to bring the intersection (the "V") of the foreground mountains to the horizontal center.

I especially like image 5, the peek-a-boo view of the mountain through the wooden structure. Nice job of framing the background mountain while still presenting foreground details of the old mining structure. It gives you a sense of place, not just framing the mountain. While you’ve framed the distant mountain, the subject is really the structural remnants of the old mine.

Image 7 is another nice effort framing the mountain. However, unlike image 5, there is not much foreground providing a sense of place as in image 5. This framing brings immediate attention to the mountain while the foreground frame defines the time of year. This is another good presentation of framing your subject.

The balance of the images aren’t of real interest to me as they appear like ordinary travel photos that were only use to preserve memories for the photographer.

The colors and composition on all are spectacular. Of the first 3, the first image is best to my eye, but all 3 are stunning. I also really like the road shot and the picture through the mine building (#5), but every composition is very good. The colors are what set these apart from many landscape photos. You were in the right places at the right time.
