Bennet- On my monitor it was dark. The horizon was tilted. And I thought too much tree was framing the picture. How's this? http://kimmosley.com/images/Bennet.jpg By opening up the shadows a triangle forms between the foreground, the water, and the figures.
That's bringing it up from the actual lighting towards "normal", plus it's washing out the gorgeous light over the lake. I went the other direction, and took it down a bit. On my calibrated monitor I see the fence rails, not just the post, and the leaves on the grass, and get just a trace of the green of the shadowed grass; you're probably seeing darker than I was.
PS. Hope I was helpful. Realize I was generally a little negative. There is so much to consider when making pictures. Kim
I certainly don't mind negative; I lean that way myself I'm afraid. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
