4. Beautiful evening - yep even saw a few wildflowers, some scrub jays, a squirrel and a couple rabbits
Things are NOT as green as they look in the photos though! Just a cruddy camera that doesn't do well in low light. And by that I mean less than noontime brightness :silly:

3. My dear Kali...
I like the second picture better, the one with the horizon...

It's amazing how different the two look!

The pic without the horizon looks closed in, almost as though there's a forest!

Interesting question.........

Thanks for posting!

:hi:

6. I like the first...
because i like the conveyed feeling more. Dark, closed-in, brooding. (Interesting).

The second one conveys optimism and a sense of freedom. (Boring from a perspective standpoint...everybody does optimism.)

7. Depends on what mood you're looking for
The first one says "onward, trudgery, weary"... the second one says "keep on, almost there, you can make it." Or at least, that's what they say to me...

12. I like the top one, but I'd like it better if you'd snapped it about 30' farther along
The road dwindling and curving off into a dark and uncertain future is a nice theme, and it's experienced through the senses of the animals in this shot which is neat, but there's a bit too much open space in the left foreground for full effectiveness. (A sharper focus would help, too. :))

13. I wondered if anyone would notice...
I had the stupid thing set to close up. :blush: It's a cheapo camera - I need practice before I will let myself get a good one (and then I probably wouldn't take it on horseback!)

Thanks for the composition tips - at the time I was just trying to get ears and some kind of foreground, the dog was just luck. The view screen is pretty scratched and the viewfinder is not much better. I'm hoping next fall for a "real" camera.
