You are right, but for this one I could have dealed with the man made mess, if I only had taken more time to compose and think about it. Anyway, now it's done.
But even the man made mess can be used very nicely for shooting real strong photos, but of course it gets harder in those cases.
Oh wow I really love this one Nick! I feel like Minoo about the power lines. You get something that nature presents as nearly perfect and you get blessed your not on posted or fenced land then you gotta deal with the man man mess! Great Image!!! Stunning! 7+ Congrats Nick!
Yes, Minoo, the composition shouldn't include them - or perhaps ahould inlclude even more of them I also have problems with the bottom part and those poles and other things there. I guess it should have been some other angle of view. This one was one of my very first tries to catch the colors of winter. At that time I was very "color oriented" - it was mainly colors that took my attention. And so many compositions from that time are not really good, but the colors are.
