Was a bit late in the day for this. This was on my way out to Death Valley from Big Pine. No PP. Thoughts and C&C are always welcome.

I like where you're going with this, but after looking at it for a few seconds, I can't help but wonder how it would have looked if you had changed the angle of the shot to include more of the fence...maybe coming in at an angle and running off into the distance across the field of view with the mountains in the background. Would that have been possible? It just feels to flat and 2 dimensional from this perspective, I guess.

It was actually difficult to do that because of the position of the sun. Now that I remember it was not that late. There was one shot I tried but it didn't work because I had to cut the horizon right down the middle. This was the closest I could get. Yeah, I know about the dust :cry: and the orizon appears off.

Ok, that's a little more of what I was thinking, but back a bit a get the full fence in the shot (ok, now I'm just sounding picky. :lol: ) I think you know what I mean.

No, you are not sounding picky. I was really trying to do that but the foreground was not that pleasing to the eye. Well, my eye at least, :p I tried again here (don't know why I shot in portrait) but there was no snow in the background. If you look you can see the shadow of a post in the foreground. If I would have shot to the left where the snowy mtns were then I would be shooting into the sun. I guess I was limited by my surroundings a bit. JT, I appreciate your input.

p.s. This is also the picture that I had to put the horizon on the middle due to the sun.
