Mar 09, 2006 13:54 | #2 The horizon is almost dead center, a no no, and the young lady is just beyond the center but there is no receiving area for her to move into so the image is disconcerting. The foreground is dark, but I like the dark sky, clouds and hills. A little PS work could lighten only the foreground, and cropping might strengthen the composition.

I decide to warm the image with a photofilter and then added an light orange neutral density filter to the sky. then i used levels to darken the shadows and add contrast to the image. o and i cropped it. hope this gives you an idea of this images potential.

It depends on what effect you are looking for. I agree with the others, I would have composed it with the woman more to the left. --Mike--
