Hole in the rock

[Dylan8i]

So the 4th pic on LBA's post about waterfalls reminded me i had a shot like that to. so here it is. Taken in bryce, with the best "stuff" through the hole i could get. what do you think though?

Dylan,

I really like the idea but there are few things which I felt could be improved so here is my take on it. I cropped to loose the top and put the hole off center. I pushed contrast and saturation and I sharpened a little. What do you think about it?

Good improvement. It tends to make one focus more on the center of the picture. Great concept Dylan.

Thanks seb, the colors look much better.

i was contemplaiting cutting the top off or not, but decided to leave it as was. but i think your version is much better.


thanks greg

I like Seb's crop a bit better than the original's.

It's a great idea, but what I think is missing here is that the actual scenic area that is showing the hole in the rock is non-overwhelming. If it was a of snow-capped mtn or a bright sunset (and was sharper), then it would really work, imo. Also, it hole subject seems cramped at the top, like the ridge is almost touching the rock above it -- it needs a little more space there.

Hope this isn't too critical.

nope not to critical at all. i knew the "scene" in the hole wasn't great but it was the best i could get. just wanted to share and see what you guys though.

so thanks.

That's great! Now I need to go see if I don't have a similar one from my trip to Bryce! LOL I like what Seb did with it as well.
