Near the dam

[Dooglla]

Just wanted to know if this shot is ok. Took it near a dam that is frozen until spring.

Dooglla,

I like this shot. It looks like it could have been taken here (Black Hills of South Dakota). It could use a smidge of straightening and a little brightening, but I think it shows how cold and bleak winter can be. I think you captured the mood!

Thanks man...I needed that to see if I was taking it right or not. Sometime when I think things looks good I know others see it different on their monitors. That is why I was starting to think maybe I needed to calibrate my monitor of something.

I know what you mean. Just remember...making things the proper size to display here can cause you to lose a lot from the pic. The original may look great, have awesome detail and color, however, once you resized and compress, it just doesn't have the same impact.:cry:

So true, so true.

I like the shot. I think the use of the wood so prominently in the foreground makes it interesting. I also like the way the ice and sky sort of mirror each other. I'm guessing you shot this with a fairly small appeture?

Yeah, I shot it at f16 or f11...will have to look on the picture again.

Thanks everyone...will lighten it up and repost it in a few. Really appreciate the help also.

A little lighter.

Man, that's ugly. The apparent cold weather, not the photo. It really gets the bleak cold across. I'm getting cold just looking at it. You did a good job. I like the lighting just as it is. Whe horizon appears a little tilted, or maybe my chair has a list to it. Let me see ................................nope.........the post is definetly askew. Sure got the cold message across though.
