Not that one is better than the other, but interesting. https://nowcomment.com/documents/58343?scroll_to=555619 https://nowcomment.com/documents/58343?scroll_to=555619 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 17:49:49 -0400 It's interesting to think about what I was thinking when composing this picture... https://nowcomment.com/documents/58343?scroll_to=555618 https://nowcomment.com/documents/58343?scroll_to=555618 ...I almost always make conscious decisions about framing a photo and often settle with whatever my instinctive "first" was. So for this one, I was standing in the middle of the stream and lookup upstream and considered that large rock, and how it might interrupt the balance as its so dominant, but then included because it was part of the view and therefore played into the feeling of standing in the middle of a stream, near a large pool, in the middle of a redwood forest. So many stream shots don't have a disruptive object like that large rock, the focus is on the water and its movement. I wanted the water to be prominent, but that's only part of the experience of that afternoon, by and in the river.
