I had insomnia, so I decided to do something productive. Please feel free to give an compositional remarks. The sun is placed in the golden-ratio with intention and the grassy path to the right in the image leads the eyes there.

I don't know exactly what needs to be done, bumping up the contrast would be a start but I am not great at pp my pictures nor landscapes. Canon 7d

Dec 21, 2010 03:02 | #7 Thanks guys. I'll do some more PP when I get home. Any more general tips than amping the contrast? uaerc wrote in post #11489464  i wud crop the sky a bit removing the blank sky.......... I believe that would be a bad idea, as it would remove the sun from the golden ratio, which was the intention with the shot - having the sun in the golden ratio. Equipment: Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

It would also throw the image into unbalance. The sun would no longer be in the golden ratio, the grassy path would now just lead to the sun without the sun having any impact on the image. The image would also not be according to the rule of thirds. Equipment: Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Canon TS-E 24mm F/3.5 L
