In today’s Daily Critique Craig looks at a strong landscape photograph and discusses the following:

 

- getting closer to the main subject to simplify the image

 

- shooting low to high to simplify the background of an image

 

- considering an HDR (high dynamic range) treatment to deal with landscape scenes that are very contrasty

 

- revisiting the at scene at twilight and painting with light

 

- looking closely at implied energy and movement on the major diagonals

 

- looking at the image in monochrome and considering the possibility of this scene as a setting for a self portrait
