snowy creek

[ZL4life]

is this good? i can't make up my mind to like it or not. i need help. It's another one from the trip up the mountain. same trip as the "mayflwer gulch" thread.
I think it's a good shot, i just can't bring myself to like it that much.

There is one big flaw for this for me. I can't tell where the snow meets the sky. It's way too gray and flat. Unless that whole white is JUST snow.

The image doesn't have a central theme that holds the viewers eye. The snow at the top of the picture could use some burning in. It looks like a beautiful location. I wonder how the image would look if you croped out the bottom third where the creek starts again?

Keep on shooting,

I think your exposure is pretty good here as I can see much of the detail in the snow and the top is snow as well, not sky, as evident from the detail. I think the framing is overall pretty good, but the particuliar area, or subject, is just not strong enough to make for a great image. I cannot see much of the water flowing in the creek from the angle and the dull lighting in the picture is also keeping the scene rather flat. Too many of the small branches in the scene I don't think is good here either. However, I can see why you chose to take a shot of this scene as the untouched snow surrounding the creek holds a certain beauty.

ok, thanks for the comments.
here's another one i got that day of the same creek.
better? worse? same?

i took this from ontop of a bridge, that's why it's at the high angle
