To all of my UHH friends,



HAPPY THANKSGIVING

You've picked a difficult subject here, not least as the position of the sun is always going to create blown out highlights and dense shadows, greatly limiting detail in each. As such a fair bit of pre-thought and planning needs to be applied to counter that (or extensive post production work). The idea is always good though, and can make for a terrific shot if pulled off. Perhaps vary the angle slightly so the sun is not full frontal of the lens. Is that a path to the right? If so maybe a slight tilt that way would have been better and added some depth by giving the eye something to follow. As your image stands it is a little flat as there is no real focal point such as a prominent tree or stump, fence post etc. I understand you can only work with what is before you and that is where pre planning comes in. Walk around the scene, look for the best vantage and angle, maybe a rock in the foreground etc. Great idea though
