Hi Greg, Been trying to reply for several days... we're up in Maine this week and having e-mail troubles. Hopefully, I'll get through this time! Thanks for the feedback on my image! Unfortunately, working with a "relatively" small digital original doesn't afford one many options for cropping while maintaining image quality. For the eventual print, I felt it was more important to be faithful to the surreal quality of light and color play in the forest than to chop away at a possible distraction in the image. It works for me and for most of those who have seen it... but I do appreciate your critique! Best regards, Janine Gallery Impressions May 27, 2002 From: Gregory Fraser <Gregory.Fraser@pwgsc.gc.ca> Date: Mon, 27 May 2002 21:26:01 -0400 Janine C. Hanson (Catskill Autumn, NY 2001) - Beautiful, beautiful reflection in the water and I just love the way it works with the flat grey rocks. The trees form a V that is echoed by the rocks and creek but then the foreground rock break the V with a solid horizontal slab which, to me, is accentuated by the square format. I would crop before this foreground slab and have the bottom of the frame be water. I can't seem to find a cropping I really like though but that's just me.
