Tracy,
This is a picture with a lot of faint zones of hills in the distance. The dark areas of the foreground are almost empty but have subtle elements are variation in tone. So mainly the eyes are drawn to two static points to the left and to the right. So this is an unusual composition. It's tranquil and calming. In this giant expanse, all is quiet and the tree stand high as sentinels.
One bird would be nice. but then it would be a different picture!
Asher
P.S. on second thoughts, consider the left last one inch. Does the picture really need this. It seems to me to weaken the composition.

Thanks Asher, for the thoughtful feedback.
The image is about forms and colors. While I have an HDR series of captures that brings out all details in the lower hills, doing so causes a loss in the overall romantic quality that this holds.
The intent is to capture the last light on the hilltops and the beauty of the sky, and to let the viewer’s imagination fill in the details.....or not.

Tracy,
I liked the colour and rhythm the hills make here. the bushes were not up to it for the type of image you are making - mingers
pano compositions rarely seem to work for me and mostly rely on the fact there is so much detail the viewer becomes trapped...
the colours - remind me of this in a way.
thanks for the indulgence

Why do panos make you feel trapped?

Tracy,
why when you are not stupid do you quote the part of the post that suits your agenda...
"pano compositions rarely seem to work for me and mostly rely on the fact there is so much detail the viewer becomes trapped..."
and recontextualise?
And ignore the postive ?
Your colour work is good - "I liked the colour and rhythm the hills make here. "
so your images are colour for me.
next time I comment on your products I will charge you a fee....
cheers

Asher, this site has so many positive and intelligent people who are regulars, can you tell me if the forum software has an ignore feature that can be used for laughable trolls such as mister “I will charge you a fee” above, or are people such as him a part of the experience that has to be endured?
Thanks
Thanks

Tracy, I don't think Mark Hampton is a troll. Peculiar, certainly, but a forum like this one needs some peculiar people. You may want to read the whole exchange again, click on the link about the colors, check whether the question you asked was already answered, this kind of things.
Probably Mark also needs to learn something from the exchange, but I am not sure what.
Excuse me for the intrusion in your conversation.
